"Det här är alla formler ni behöver för provet."

Translation: These are all the formulas that you need for the test.

[Adelhaidar]

how can "det här" be translated to "these"? shouldn't it be "de här" in the sentence?

[Arnauti]

We usually say it that way in Swedish, but in English they want the plural form. This has been quite a problem for us course-builders. For instance, in Swedish you say "Det här är mina skor", but in English they don't say "This is my shoes", and if we translate it into "These are my shoes", that doesn't work perfectly either.

In Swedish, we think like this: I am pointing to "something", therefore I think of it as "det här". It works like a formal subject, but with "här" added to make the meaning the same as with "this". In English, they don't do that. Hope this helps?

[JonWadswor]

Awesome answer! Tack!

[rami59]

Is this kinda the same thing as the Det är construction at the beginning of a sentence? That is, you don't know what the subject is yet so you just default it to det. If so, I'm guessing that if you knew that the subject was about shoes, you could then say de här...?

[devalanteriel]

Yes, that is correct. It's still much more idiomatic to use det här even when you could use de här, though, to the point that the latter may even sound weird to natives.

[Rdiger891130]

Can provet also mean for the (eg mathematical) proof instead of test in this case

[devalanteriel]

No, a proof is bevis in that context and others.

[Bilaal_99]

FORMULAE

[devalanteriel]

That is also accepted.

[Bendohr]

What would 'these formulas are all you need for the test' be?

[devalanteriel]

Something like De här formlerna är alla du/ni behöver för provet.

[Aquignis]

Would replacing alla formler by alla formlerna work in this context?

[devalanteriel]

Yes, although I might be slightly more inclined to only use that in informal context.

[makrele04]

Those or these - where's the difference?

[sotnosen93]

"Those" translates to "de där". Also, "det där" wouldn't work in that case since "Det här" in this context is sort of a semi-set phrase. Se Arnauti's explanation for more details on that point.

[HenkSpaan2]

What is the best way in Swedish to distinguish 'These are all formulas you need (among others)' and 'These are all the formulas you need (none other)'? Or would you need flera for this?
