"Mina systrar tycker om mat."

Translation: My sisters like food.

[jaiirapetjan]

I understood from the 'mina' that it was plural... but wanted to see all four forms anyway, so checked Tyda.se. Why do they sometimes not show them all? Click here.

I recommend Wiktionary.

Or once you get more advanced you can use Svenska akademiens ordlista.

Okay, thanks Anders. I've bookmarked the Swedish homepage of Wiktionary. I kind of like the Tyda.se format, but if they sometimes have missing information it's not a very good reference.

[Pigbear1]

...implying anyone doesn't?

[Zmrzlina]

I have a friend who's genuinely disinterested in food actually. He likes to say he eats regularly for medical reasons only.

[King2E4]

Me too! The only reason I eat is because I have to eat in order to survive. If eating weren't for survival, I would have given up eating years ago.

Some people think sleeping is a waste of time whereas I think eating is a waste of time.

[LillaApan]

Damn, if that only could happen to me! I really love eating.... too much :) So if I ate how much I'd LIKE to, wow, bad news from the bathroomscale :D

[Niko856977]

Sounds like a subtle jab at someone...

[hardrockhamster]

jag gör även!

[devalanteriel]

Swedish really needs a "that" for such sentences. The most idiomatic phrasing is Det gör jag också!

[Elusorius]

What a coincidence! I need food to sustain myself as well!

[devalanteriel]

That doesn't mean you like it, though.

[notduolingobird]

Hey i like food too

[Andrada806074]

Who doesn't?

[Starduo]

Why om ?

[devalanteriel]

Swedish has many verbs that consist of multiple words, where none of them can be left out since that'll changing the meaning completely.

In this case, the verb for liking is tycka om (or tycker om in the present tense). If you remove the om, it turns into a completely different verb.

[AdrianMack]

Tycker om = think about?

[devalanteriel]

Nope. The verb is tycker om and cannot be broken into smaller parts.

[Floodboi117]

Who doesn't like food?

[JosiahVasaInt]

It's supposed to be My sister likes food

[devalanteriel]

That would be min syster.

[KaDot4]

There is no sound at all!!

[devalanteriel]

Probably just a temporary glitch - it's working fine here. :)
