"Jag ska på ett möte med en kund."

Translation: I am going to a meeting with a customer.

[Zzzzz...]

In what sort of expressions can one leave out the infinitive and use ska only?

[Arnauti]

I wrote something about this here, hope it helps a little.

[supu1]

Only shortned links do not work on mobile version

[HaniAl-seb]

För en konstig anledning får jag inte klicka på länken. Kanske för att jag är på mobilen appen?

[InvertedGo]

Japp. På appen så funkar det inte.

It might help to realize that the English we are given here could more literally be: "I am going to go to a meeting with a customer".

It is the "to go" that is omitted in the Swedish, not the "going to", which in the Swedish here is the "ska".

In other words, there is a difference in English between "I am going" and "I am going to go".

Compare also "I am going to meet with a customer" vs. "I am going to a meeting with a customer". The first English sentence uses "going to" in the sense of Swedish "ska" or "kommer att". The second, it seems to me, uses "going to" in the sense of Swedish "går" or "åker".

[ZahraKarim0]

kan vi skriv," jag ska gå på ett möte med en kund."

[Arnauti]

Yes, that works too. There's a tiny difference in meaning but it usually doesn't matter. ska på ett möte is more about direction, you might be on your way to the meeting. ska gå på ett möte is more like 'I'm going to go to a meeting with a client'.

[AndrewR231085]

Could ett möte also mean an appointment, for example an appointment with a doctor or dentist?

[uthl]

Normally you would not call it a möte with a doctor unless your are actually sitting at a table and planing a major operation or somerhing.

[Evan__Thomas]

Doesn't this translate to "I shall at a meeting with a customer".

Why not "jag ska har ett möte med en kund"?

[Zzzzz...]

Take a look at the link given by Arnauti above. :)

[uthl]

What you are suggesting is something like "I shall having a meeting with a customer" which is not correct. In this case it must be "Jag ska ha ett möte med en kund".

[David483540]

Could this sentence be translated as "I will be in a meeting with a client?

[CarloGamag1]

It seems that my reasoning to use client based on the etymology of both wards, customer and client, which unfortunately apparently has not gone through, Client is a better translation since we are dealing with a professional relationship and not a store customer that buys goods.
