"De" should sound like "dome" however it sounds like "det". The sound or sentence should be fixed.

You're right, we're aware of this problem but unfortunately we're not going to be able to fix it very soon. There are other errors with the TTS too, so take a look in the sentence forums if anything seems off, people often post links to sound files with the correct pronunciation here.
EDIT we have since gotten a totally different TTS which says this right.
Etymologically, Thursday & Torsdag both come from "Thor's Day". You would translate Torsdag to Thursday.
Would "De kommer torsdag." also work just like an English "They're coming Thursday" just as a more colloquial way to say it?
So why does one sentence have "De betalar OM en halvar" and another has "De kommer PA torsdag" (sorry dont have sv keyboard on this comp)

De betalar om ett halvår means: 6 months will pass and after that they will pay. De kommer på torsdag means: they will come during the time period of Thursday. Quite different meanings.
de dem and dom should be correct. dom was flagged as incorrect. this has been a real discussion for a while and de is not really used any more it's been replaced with dom.
just for making it clear:
på torsdag- on Thursday, the next one we will have
i torsdags- on Thursday, the last one whe had
på torsdags- on Thursday, usually
is it right? and how do we say if its a Thursday 3 weeks ago? på torsdag as well?
