"Ni har fem dagar på er."

Translation: You have five days.

[kaplein]

Does på er mean "available" here?

[Berniebud]

Not exactly, it's more like you have five days on your hands. The responsibility's on you, etc.

[Rolf778527]

I thought it was the answer to "doctor, how bad is it?" But that's much more positive

[kaplein]

Thanks!

[ZacharyHin2]

What does the er mean here?

[Zmrzlina]

The verb "ha [time] på sig" means something like "you have [time]" in the sense that you have a deadline for finishing whatever you're talking about.

Example:
Ni har fem dagar på er att bygga huset = You have five days to build the house

[dcounts]

Ah! Good clear answer. Tusen tack.

[TheresaStr17]

Makes sense. In English, it would be valud to say "You have five days for you to build the house." Wordy, but valid

[P373R0]

Approximately, from just a student: When things are singular you use "du" and "dig". When it gets plural you use "ni" and "er". They all mean "you", du and ni are for the subject of a sentence, dig and er are for the object.

Gosh I sure wish that English had a proper plural form for this. You should accept y'all. ;)

[devalanteriel]

We do. :)

[chainswa]

It got marked as wrong when I tried it.

[devalanteriel]

Oh yeah, sorry, I meant to say "We do now" - I added it after your comment.

[chainswa]

Actually? You rule! Thank you. I'll try it again next time.

[deactivated user]

Why is it wrong: "You have five days for yourself"? Isn't "på er" the reflexive form of ni?

[Berotej]

It´s "for yourselves" because ni is the plural you. But I´m not sure whether or not that would be accepted anyway. Seems to me "ha [time] på sig" is a fixed expression and your version adds new meaning to the phrase.

[deactivated user]

Thank you for pointing out my error. How would you say then: "you have five days for yourselves"?

[devalanteriel]

I would use Ni har fem dagar för er själva for that meaning.

[deactivated user]

Tack så mycket! You are very helpful.

[adrianxu_]

If you say: "Ni har fem dagar" , will be ok? , or it is necessary to put pa er

[devalanteriel]

Yes, we accept that too.

[JimNolt]

How would one say,
1) "You have five days to complete the project."?
2) I have five days to complete the project."?

[devalanteriel]

1. Du/Ni har fem dagar på dig/er (för) att avsluta projektet. The för is optional.
2. Jag [...] mig [...] instead.
