"Hon trivs med att studera på universitetet."

Translation: She enjoys studying at the university.

Is 'tycker om' an acceptable alternative to 'trivs med'

[Mike405555]

Still waiting for answer to this as well

[RonaldBrid1]

I don’t know the exact answer I’m only learning myself but tycker om is like, trivs is more like thrives. I think thriving at something sounds more accurate for enjoying an activity. Liking sounds more accurate for a thing.

[SKWARDOL]

kan man säga bara trivs utan med.

[gramphos]

No, not in the sentence above. Trivas requires a preposition or an adverb or possible nothing following.

• "Jag trivs." - I enjoy my current situation.
• "Jag trivs här." - I like it at this place.
• "Jag trivs på universitetet" - I like it at the university
• "Jag trivs i ditt sällskap." - I enjoy being in your company.
• "Jag trivs med dig." - I enjoy being with you.
• "Jag trivs med att studera." - I enjoy studying.
• "Jag trivs vid havet." - I enjoy being at the sea.

Jag trivs med att läsa dina kommenter

[WirklichMude]

what is the translation for 'She enjoys being a student at the university.'?

[JoseeV64]

I think: hon trivs med att vara student på universitetet

[RonaldBrid1]

Hon trivs vara en student på universitetet

[RonaldBrid1]

Which one is it JoseeV64 your translation seems right and so does mine? You mention something about med att being the “ing” part of a sentence. I wonder is your translation more correct? You seem to have a better grasp of the med att part of constructing a sentence please could you explain?

[JoseeV64]

I am not the one who mentioned something about med att being the "ing" part of a sentence, but I did some "research" on the forum and found devalanteriel explaining that med is required if you are enjoying something in particular:
jag trivs med [noun]
jag trivs med att [verb phrase]

"being a student" is a verb phrase.
hon trivs med att vara student på universitetet -> "she thrives with to be a student at the university"="she enjoys being a student at the university" (I consider "student" as a profession).

[RonaldBrid1]

Oh sorry. Thanks for your explanation though! I wasn’t really sure why I was saying med when talking about enjoying something but this really clears it up. Great explanation. Thank you

[JoseeV64]

You're welcome!

Why is 'att' used here?

[StephenWat314748]

In another question, it was implied that med att is used to imply the '-ing' part of the sentence (because Swedish has no continuous tense, or something like that). If that is correct/I understood it correctly, what governs where in the sentence it should come? If studera is the word that needs 'ing-ifying', why is it not after that, but after trivs instead?
