"He really hates computers."

Translation: Han hatar verkligen datorer.

[TMUM4]

Why can't you change the word order to be 'verkligen hatar'? Would you ever hear it that way, perhaps to show emphasis?

[Arnauti]

It's the V2 rule again, we really want to have the verb in second place (in sentences that aren't subclauses or questions). With rare exceptions.

[Lundgren8]

No, the adverb usually comes after the verb in main clauses.

[Nathnainiel]

Emphasis would be expressed using intonation (and maybe prolongation of vowels). Changing the word order here sounds wrong.

[BrianClift1]

Why not: "han hatar datorer egentligen"

[ArizonaBoi14]

That would be more like "He actually hates computers".

[bartosso]

Q: Why oh why is"riktigt" wrong?

[Arnauti]

It's not totally unthinkable, though it would have to go after the verb rather than before it, and it would mean He quite hates computers. It's sort of a special thing to say so I don't think it would be a very good translation here.

[bartosso]

Okay, will remember that. Arigatō!

[Cathal9]

Can the sentence start with verkligen?

[Nathnainiel]

No

[GabrielinaP]

avsyr means also to hate!!!

[Zmrzlina]

It's close, but not really there. It's more likely to translate to despise, detest, loathe.

[historicbruno]

Does "verkligen" function as an intensifier in Swedish, as in English? When I read this sentence as a native English speaker, I get the impression that he hates computers more than would normally be the case. If I wanted to say only that he hates computers in reality, I would instead say: "He really does hate computers" with appropriate emphasis on "does."

[Koen605272]

Is something along the lines of Han hatar datorer virkligen. also okay?
Most of the times the word order is exactly the same as in Dutch, but if I translate this sentence word for word to Dutch I would think it means "He hates real computers". (Hij haat computers echt. vs. Hij haat echte computers.)
