"Vi tittar på rummet."

Translation: We are looking at the room.

How would you say in Swedish 'I'm just browsing' if you are in a shop and the salesperson asks you something like 'kan jag hjälpa till' (if that is what they typically ask?) and you have no intention to buy anything.

[friswing]

I would say: "Jag bara tittar!" with emphasis on 'TITtar

[elfelipe96]

Shouldn't it be "Jag tittar bara" ? (The V2 rule)

[friswing]

I didn't see your question 3 years ago. Both is possible. It's about emphasis. And for me, I would emphasize the verb, putting it last in this short 3-word sentence.

[Jitt91]

Well, I guess other people might say this differently but I'd say Jag tittar bara (I'm just looking).

[RikSha]

Tack!

[Cami-AG]

You can also say "jag kikar bara". I've heard this a lot.

[friswing]

In this sentence/meaning 'kikar' feels like 'slang', I'm from Stockholm, and here it certainly can be heard.

How would you say "we are looking for the room"?

[King2E4]

That would be 'vi letar efter rummet'.

[polymeowrs]

Is "tittar på" solely correspond to "looking at (something)"? Could it be "looking in (something)"?

[Zmrzlina]

No, it means "look at". To be looking in would be "titta in" instead.

[629.ucql9QLTttbE]

Is swedish as finicky as english about looking, seeing and watching?

[Zmrzlina]

Sort of. See = se, watch/look = titta.

[DancingGeek]

In what context might someone actually say this in Swedish? It sounds like an odd activity. Or is this a case of grammatically correct, but odd, sentence practice?

[friswing]

I suppose the room is for rent, so we take a look, Vi tittar på rummet, to see if we want to move to this place, if it is worth paying the rent.

[Olesja386275]

And if We are looking (in meaning Searching) FOR the room?

[friswing]

Vi letar efter rum att hyra.

[Olesja386275]

Thank you!

[JordanOsr]

Any reason one can't say "We look around the room"?

[wenwenoc]

It sounds like det not vi
