"Jag vill inte sova, jag vill leka."

Translation: I do not want to sleep, I want to play.

[creativemetaphor]

It seem so simple but vill is messing me up! I keep wanting to write "will" instead of "want"!

[jhlouise]

I do that, especially with "vill ha" - I always want to write "will have"!

[FelipeNandes]

I've never made that mistake but now that I've read your comment I probably won't be able to forget about the similarity.

[MissMuse]

Sounds like something my cat woukd say at 2 a.m.

[ryagami97]

A pretty accurate representation of my conversations with my 3 year old son (he's half English, half Swedish)

[rdpw94]

Definitely a relationship issue!

[NogoBogo]

Me pretty much every Friday and Saturday.

[Elisabeth612440]

This is my infant son every time I try to put him to bed...

[jerobarraco]

jag vill fest!

[Arnauti]

jag vill ha fest

[jerobarraco]

Tack :)

[Elisabeth612440]

Is there also a verb for to party?

[devalanteriel]

Yes: festa.

[mr_pococurante]

Could utan be used here as an alternative construction? (and if yes, what would it look like?)

[sus2nna]

Anyone else curious about the comma in this sentence? In English wouldn't a semicolon be needed instead of a comma?

[devalanteriel]

"needed" might be a stretch, but it would certainly be suggested, and possibly changed by an editor. Swedish is not as good at using semicolons in general, but I would prefer one here in Swedish as well.

[Yeblick]

I didn't try it because I did not want to mess up, but is this translation okay? "Jag vill inte att sova, jag vill att leka."

[Arnauti]

No, we don't use att before the infinitive with modal verbs. More about this here: https://www.duolingo.com/comment/7075383

[BradleyHar147441]

Why isn't it "Jag vill inte sova, vill jag leka"? Why doesn't the V2 rule apply here?

[devalanteriel]

They're two different main clauses. The sentence would be much better with a semi-colon.
