Translation: Vi kom nyligen hem.

What's the difference between "hem" and "hemma"?

[devalanteriel]

The former means home, the latter means at home.

Tack för föreklaringen!

[Buzdawg]

Could nyligen kom vi hem also be used, or is it uncommon?

[devalanteriel]

It's less idiomatic but perfectly fine.

Vad betyder nyss till skillnad från nyligen?

[Arnauti]

nyss is more recently, a better translation into English would be a short while ago

[bearded-bod]

Tack. Alltså, just now, ungefär?

[Arnauti]

Ja, det är bra.

[jarrettph]

What would be the best translation for We just came home? Nyss or nyligen?

[devalanteriel]

nyss, definitely - nyligen would typically mean "recently".

[Bilgeska]

Why is it "kom" and not "kam"?

[devalanteriel]

kam is German, 1/3 person singular - in Swedish, it means "comb". :)

[Bilgeska]

Ups :D

[Jupp993513]

Why is it nyligen? Is this a Plural? Would it be different for "I came home recently"?

[devalanteriel]

No, nyligen is the adverb "recently". It doesn't have singular or plural forms.
