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

The former means home, the latter means at home.

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

    It's less idiomatic but perfectly fine.

      Vad betyder nyss till skillnad från nyligen?

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

        Tack. Alltså, just now, ungefär?

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

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

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

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