"We go to the cinema."

Translation: Vi går på kino.

Eeew. That one was mean. 'Vi går til kino' is wrong when 'Vi går til kinoen' and 'Vi går på kino' are correct. I imagine I'll miss that a few more times.

[alek_d]

They mean two different thing though. "Vi går på kino" means you're going to watch a movie, wheras "Vi går til kinoen" means you are going to a particular building.

[Morgana139]

So "Vi går til kino" and "Vi går på kinoen" are never said?

[MarioBlazej]

På kino = to the cinema??? So where is en suffix

[Deliciae]

See Alek's comment above.

[kskdtr]

where is the conjuction here?

[Deliciae]

Why are you looking for one?

[karine.meziane]

Why is "vi skal på kino" wrong? I know that "vi skal" is about "having the intention to go to a certain place" or "heading somewhere", when "vi går" is more the fact of "going" / "walking", the movement itself, right?

[Deliciae]

"Vi skal på kino" would be correct if the English sentence were in the progressive tense.

"What do you do on Fridays?" "We go to the cinema."
(describes habit; "skal" does not work as a translation)

"What are you doing on Friday?" "We're going to the cinema."
(describes intent; "skal" is the best translation)

When do I use "går" vs "drar"?

[Deliciae]

"Å gå" is specifically for walking, while "å dra" is for leaving/going by any means of transport.

[TiborHunya]

Maybe this is a bit off topic, but the "Å gå" and "Å går" I simply cannot understand the usage of r, when its går and when is it just gå? :(

[NaWei1]

It's never 'å går': think 'å gå' as 'to go', 'går' as 'going'.
