The Swedish verb att veta (to know)

Another important word is the word to know. Att veta.

And att veta, which is the dictionary form, once you make it into the present form, you get jag vet. To say you know, you would say du vet. He knows, han vet, hon vet, and then it continues on, den vet, det vet, ni vet, de vet, vi vet. So what was the Swedish word to say on, like on?

På. I am on way. In English you would say I'm on my way. In Swedish you can remove the my and you can say I am on way, and it gives the same meaning. And to say way, you would say väg.

Väg. Väg means way in this sense, but it also means like the road, en väg, a road. So I am on way. How do you say that?

Jag är på väg. Jag är på väg. I'm on my way. But you don't need to say my, so I am on way. What about we are on way to the store?

And to say to, you would say till. Till. Vi är på väg till affären, or till butiken. What about they are on their way to home, or they are on way to home?

You don't need the their, you can remove that in Swedish. So all you say is they are on way to home.

De är på väg hem.

De är på väg hem. Very short sentence, but it conveys the same meaning as they're on their way home or they're on their way to their home. I know what I should do, but I can't do it.

So to say know, we had this previously, what was to know?

Att veta, att veta. Så jag vet, han vet, du vet, vi vet. So how would you say what in Swedish, what?

Vad, vad. Given that, how do you say I know what I should do, but I can't do it?

Jag vet vad jag ska göra, men jag kan inte göra det. Jag vet vad jag ska göra, men jag kan inte göra det. So if you want to say I know what I would do, how would you say that? We had this in a lesson previously, would.

So you could say skulle, skulle. So, jag vet vad jag skulle göra, men jag kan inte göra det. And then it sort of the meaning takes on I know what I would have done, but I can't do it, or I know what I should have done, but I can't do it.

It takes on the meaning sort of of I know what I would do, but I can't do it. So a quick recap, how do you say my? Min or mitt. What about your, one person? Din or ditt.

What about his or her?

Hans or hennes.

What about its?

Dess. And your, as in many people?

Er or ert. And then their?

Deras. So how do you say their car?

Deras bil.

And our would be...

Vår or you can say vårt. So if we practice this a bit more, how do you say my car?

Min bil. What about his home?

Hans hem.

Her food?

Hennes mat.

Its effect?

Dess effekt.

Your child, one person?

Ditt barn. Or ert barn for plural.

And their car?

Deras bil. And finally, our world?

Vår värld. And of course vår is for en-words. So en värld becomes vår värld for our world.
