"Vem ska undervisa i tyska?"

Translation: Who will teach German?

[Adelhaidar]

i don't understand why is the preposition "i" used in this sentence, if it means "Who will teach German?".
How can i say "Who will teach in German?". I mean what preposition should i use in the second question instead of "i" ?

[Lundgren8]

You use ”i” with the verb ”undervisa”, that’s all. If she would teach in German, it would be ”på tyska”.

[Kreilyn]

So, Lära sig is the same, right?

[rwhodges]

Well, there is lära dig (teach you) but notice that there's an object there (dig), in contrast to the sentence above, which does not say who is being taught and is just talking about teaching in general. I think the non-reflexive lära ut is roughly synonymous with undervisa, but I'm not sure if there is any subtle difference in meaning between them.

[Lundgren8]

No, jag lär mig tyska (I learn/teach myself German).

[JeanLibera1]

Would you also use "undervisa I" for other subjects. For example, "who will teach math?" Or "who will teach history?"

[devalanteriel]

Yes, I can't think of a subject to which it doesn't apply.

[AndreasWil20]

Varför används inte skall längre i svenska spåket? Det skall vara fel?

[Zmrzlina]

"Skall" is largely archaic, and thus rarely used. You might see it in government orders or so.

[JohnJacob1]

Why not "Who will teach in German"?

[devalanteriel]

Please refer to the above discussion.

[CharlesBra391021]

Can you say, "Vem ska lära tyska?"

[devalanteriel]

If you don't mention the person being taught, you need lära ut. Hence:

• Vem ska lära ut tyska?
• Vem ska lära dem tyska?
