Giving commands and suggestions. This chapter focuses on the imperative form of verbs.

  • Imperative Form
    Just use the verb's root to tell someone what to do—it's the simplest Swedish verb form!
  • Giving Commands
    Just use the verb stem to tell someone what to do, or add 'inte' to stop them.
  • Giving Suggestions
    Master 'Ska vi' and 'Vad sägs om' to navigate Swedish social life and the essential fika culture.
  • Imperative in Context
    Just use the verb stem to give a command, and add 'inte' if you want to say don't.

The 'Kanske' Trick

Add 'kanske' (maybe) to any suggestion to sound 50% more Swedish and 100% more polite. 'Ska vi kanske gå?'
