"Does he sing on Tuesdays?"

Translation: Sjunger han på tisdagar?

[SageAlison]

why på instead of om?

[devalanteriel]

om would mean "about" here.

You could say om tisdagarna, though - it's a slightly oldfashioned way of saying the same thing. I do not recommend using it.

[tnguyeen68]

Is Pa Tisdagar sjunger han? unacceptable?

[Lundgren8]

It could work in spoken language perhaps, but the norm is that you always begin with the verb to form a question.

• Han sjunger. (He sings.)
• Sjunger han? (Does he sing?)

[lotta84]

Should "sjunger han på tisdagarna?" be accepted?

[SandraKosk]

No, it slightly changes the tone and meaning, the same way it does in English. På tisdagar/on Tuesdays, just generally - på tisdagarna/on the Tuesday, specifically.

[LearnLang302]

Can it be: "Gör sjunger han på tisdagar?"

[Arnauti]

No, we don't have a 'do' construction.

[LearnLang302]

Ohhh, okay! Thank you Arnauti, you beautiful person you!

[Ran922748]

Why isnt tje transelation " he sings on tuesdays" ?
Where does the "does" comes from ?

[devalanteriel]

It's a question - English commonly uses variations of "do" to create them.

[Saki__0]

Why can't I say Sjunger han om tisdagar

[devalanteriel]

That means "Does he sing about Tuesdays?"

[J.Sol.Esp]

Are we allowed to use the straight word order plus väl construction to form questions, or only if the English question contains something along the lines of "doesn't (s)he / isn't it /" etc.?

I put: "Han sjunger väl på tisdagar?"

Tack!

[devalanteriel]

Only if it has an English equivalent in the source phrase, like you suggested.

[J.Sol.Esp]

Tack devalanteriel.

[Vitalii279305]

Why not "Sjunger han på i tisdagar?"

[devalanteriel]

That sounds like "on in Tuesdays".
