"On Friday the letter comes."

Translation: På fredag kommer brevet.

[cehackne]

Is word order strict here? Could one also say, "På fredag brevet kommer?"

[Super-Svensk]

When there is an adverb at the beginning of the sentence, the verb comes before the subject. In this sentence, "på fredag" is an adverb prepositional phrase, "kommer" is the verb, and "brevet" is the subject. Because "på fredag" is at the beginning of the sentence, "kommer" goes before "brevet." Another example: Nu äter jag (Now I am eating). "Nu" is an adverb at the beginning of the sentence, so "äter" must come before "jag" as opposed to the usual other way around.

[cehackne]

Tack mycket!

[zinitti]

Also you usually say "Tack så mycket" or "Tackar". It compares to "Thank you a lot/Thanks a lot" and "Thanks".

tack mycket

[MashaZ4]

Can i also say "jag äter nu", or is the word order strict?

[devalanteriel]

Jag äter nu and Nu äter jag are both grammatical and perfectly usable. :)

[binhpht]

Coud rewrite as " Brevet kommer pa fredag"

[KimWidman]

That would be the normal thing to say, as I think the normal word order in English would be The letter arrives on Friday rather than the way it is phrased in this exercise.

[KarinGoodb]

The letter comes on Friday is far better English

[devalanteriel]

Yes, but it's hard to get you to translate into the natural Swedish på fredag kommer brevet if we put anything else there.

Why do we use På here instead of Om (it said I was incorrect for doing so)? Jag är förvirrad

[Arnauti]

Week days take på, just as they have on in English. Seasons are also på, på sommaren = 'in the summer', but months are in: i februari = 'in February'.

om with time usually means 'after a certain amount of time', like Brevet kommer om en vecka 'The letter will come in a week'.

[thepatientfox]

Tack tack!

Is förvirrad actually the right word?
That would be hilarious (verwirrt in German).

[Zmrzlina]

Yes. Förvirrad = confused.
