"När är det slut?"

Translation: When is it over?

[Misieuroo]

I keep hearing "När är DU slut ?" at normal speed.

[jhlouise]

Non-native speaker here, but my partner is Swedish. From what I've picked up from him and his family, "det" is often pronounced with very little emphasis on the "t" in normal speech (it sounds more like "deh"), which can very easily be confused with "du" if you're not used to hearing it. I think you just have to get the hang of differentiating between the sound difference :)

[AnFeileacan78]

Me too!

[Maestr.Ale]

Same here!

[NatalieBoa3]

Me too. Definitely sounds like du and not duh.

[NatalieBoa3]

Or deh

[Adam386517]

Same here!!! I actually tried to solve it without reading: "when are you done" and obviously got it wrong...

[Weird_Ed]

The Swedish word "slut" - has the same roots as the German ''schluß".

Could this also be translated as "when does it (water, gas, etc.) run out?"

[Antwaan]

So i can't say "when does it stop?" ?

[person222222]

I would imagine not because the verb here is are, not does, and although when does it stop holds a very similar meaning, it uses, a different verb, so I would have to guess that the literal translation for that is när slutar det?

[Arnauti]

När slutar det?, but otherwise you're right. (göra slut is only 'break up' like in people breaking up a relationship).

[person222222]

Oops, silly mistake. Thanks!

[YvetteGabler]

Why is "when does it close" wrong

[KaBa07]

Could this also mean: When is it done?

[Seeheer]

When does it finish is the U.K. equivalent.

[fVJYP11G]

But not 'when does it end?' apparently as was not accepted. 'When is it over?' is a very different meaning, I feel, in English.

[Super-Svensk]

That is an accepted answer.
