"Det är mitt hem."

Translation: It is my home.

[rach_jules]

what is the difference between 'hemma' and 'hem'?

[Zmrzlina]

Hemma is a location adverb, hem is a direction adverb OR a noun ("a home")

Thus, it's "jag går hem" but "jag är hemma". But in the sentence above, it's a noun - "this is my home".

Does that help?

[rach_jules]

Kind of? So 'hemma' is an adverb of är?

[Zmrzlina]

I'm not sure what an adverb "of är" means, but I suppose so. Hemma means you're at the place of home, while hem means you're heading in the direction of home.

[rach_jules]

ah okay that makes sense. It's var/vart, dit/där, hit/här again.

[Zmrzlina]

Yes. Good thinking. Have a lingot or two. :)

[Fernando4170]

Thank you for that observation. This way I can get it better. Greetings!

[gabruelsch]

i think it's because of the colloqs in english
becuase we are supposed to say : i am going to home but we say : i am going home and come here : we are supposed to say come to here ..

[person222222]

Hence it would be "Det är mitt hem" or "Jag är på hemma"?

[Zmrzlina]

Yes, but it's jag är hemma.

[JYH6UtXB]

But, in this case, isn't 'hem' a noun? Like, I'm standing in front of it, pointing at it and telling someone "Det är mitt hem."?
I'm not sure, but maybe JoseeV64 might've answered this? I.e., 'hus' v 'hem.'

[RhydianJenkins]

Is "Välkommen till vårt nya hem" correct?

When I google translate that's what it gives me, but I can't understand why it's "nya" and not "nytt"?

Tack.

[JYH6UtXB]

Not 100% sure, but maybe because here, 'nya' is the definite form?

Why is "it is my house" not accepted?

[JoseeV64]

House is "hus". A house is not the same as a home. Your house is not my home, and your home is not my house.

[Gnurfel]

Is hem only used for the structure/building that is my home, or can it be used in a more abstract sense too? For example: I live in Canada, it is my home. Would hem work?

[Diana_SE]

Hmm- I might also add, THIS is my home.

[Lundgren8]

That would be det här or detta.

[GiuannFlustra]

Home (directions) I still don't understand what means 'directions'
