When you're just starting out in Swedish, you'll often encounter the verb tror. It means 'think' or 'believe' in English. It's used when you're expressing an opinion, a guess, or a conviction. You can use it in many everyday situations, like saying what you think about the weather or if you believe someone will come.
When using "tror," it's essential to understand its nuances. "Tror" implies an opinion, a belief, or an assumption, rather than a factual statement. For example, if you say "Jag tror att det regnar," you are expressing your belief that it's raining, but you might not have seen it yourself. This contrasts with "jag vet" (I know), which indicates certainty.
You can also use "tror på" to express belief in something abstract, like "Jag tror på dig" (I believe in you). However, when talking about religious faith, Swedes often use "är troende" (to be a believer) or "tror på Gud" (to believe in God). The context will often clarify the precise meaning of "tror."

§ What 'Tror' Means
- Swedish Word
- tror (verb)
- English Definition
- think, believe
The Swedish verb 'tror' is a very common and useful word that translates to 'think' or 'believe' in English. It's used in many everyday situations to express an opinion, a guess, or a conviction. You'll hear it constantly, so mastering it early on is a big step in your Swedish learning journey.
§ How to Use 'Tror' in a Sentence
Using 'tror' is pretty straightforward. It works similarly to 'think' or 'believe' in English. Here are some key ways to use it:
- To express an opinion or belief:
Jag tror att det är sant. (I think that it is true.)
Hon tror på mig. (She believes in me.)
Notice how we use 'att' (that) when stating a fact or an opinion, but not always, just like in English.
- To express a guess or an assumption:
Jag tror att det kommer att regna. (I think it will rain.)
Han tror han kan flyga. (He thinks he can fly.)
§ Prepositions with 'Tror'
Sometimes 'tror' is used with prepositions to give more specific meaning. The most common one you'll encounter at A1 is 'på' (on/in), which is used when you 'believe in' something or someone.
- Tror på + Object
- Believe in something/someone
Jag tror på spöken. (I believe in ghosts.)
Vi tror på dig. (We believe in you.)
This is different from simply thinking something. When you 'tror på' something, it implies a deeper conviction or trust.
§ Common Phrases with 'Tror'
Here are some common phrases where 'tror' is used, which you'll find helpful to memorize:
- Jag tror det
- I think so / I believe so
- Jag tror inte det
- I don't think so / I don't believe so
- Tror du det?
- Do you think so? / Do you believe so?
Kommer han idag? Ja, jag tror det. (Is he coming today? Yes, I think so.)
Är det svårt? Jag tror inte det. (Is it difficult? I don't think so.)
§ Quick Grammar Note: Verb Conjugation
For A1 level, the present tense of 'tror' is the most important. Luckily, in Swedish, verb conjugation is much simpler than in many other languages. The present tense form of 'tror' is simply 'tror' for all subjects (jag, du, han, hon, vi, ni, de).
- Jag tror (I think/believe)
- Du tror (You think/believe)
- Han/Hon tror (He/She thinks/believes)
- Vi tror (We think/believe)
- Ni tror (You all think/believe)
- De tror (They think/believe)
No complicated endings to remember! Just 'tror'. This makes it easier to focus on using the word in sentences.
§ Direct Translation Traps
Many English speakers learning Swedish try to directly translate sentences from English to Swedish. This often leads to errors with verbs like 'tror'. While 'tror' means 'think' or 'believe', its usage isn't always a one-for-one match with English.
§ 'Tror' vs. 'Tycker' vs. 'Tänker'
This is a big one. Swedish has three main verbs that can translate to 'think' in English, and they are not interchangeable.
- DEFINITION
- Tror: To believe in something or someone, to have an opinion about a fact, or to make a guess about future events. It's about conviction or probability.
Jag tror att det kommer att regna. (I believe/think it will rain.)
Han tror på spöken. (He believes in ghosts.)
- DEFINITION
- Tycker: To have an opinion or to like something. It's more about subjective preference or a personal viewpoint.
Jag tycker att kaffe är gott. (I think coffee is good / I like coffee.)
Vad tycker du om filmen? (What do you think of the movie?)
- DEFINITION
- Tänker: To actively think, ponder, or plan. It's about the mental process itself.
Jag tänker på dig. (I am thinking of you.)
Jag tänker åka till Stockholm. (I am thinking/planning to go to Stockholm.)
§ Using 'Tror' when you should use 'Tycker'
A common mistake is using 'tror' when you are expressing a personal opinion or preference. If you are saying you 'think' something is good, bad, beautiful, etc., you almost always want 'tycker'.
Incorrect:
Jag tror att den här boken är bra. (This sounds like you *believe* the book is good, perhaps you haven't read it, or you're speculating.)
Correct:
Jag tycker att den här boken är bra. (I think this book is good / I find this book good – expressing your personal opinion.)
§ Omitting 'att' with 'Tror'
In Swedish, when 'tror' is followed by a subordinate clause (a new clause with its own subject and verb), you almost always need to include 'att' (that).
- Correct: Jag tror att han kommer. (I think that he is coming.)
- Incorrect: Jag tror han kommer.
While native speakers might sometimes drop 'att' in very casual speech, it's safer and more grammatically correct for learners to include it.
Vi tror att vädret blir bättre imorgon. (We believe that the weather will be better tomorrow.)
§ Not using 'Tror' with preposition 'på' when believing in something
When you express belief *in* something or someone, you need the preposition 'på' after 'tror'.
- Correct: Jag tror på dig. (I believe in you.)
- Incorrect: Jag tror dig. (This would mean 'I believe what you are saying', not 'I have faith in you'.)
If you just mean you accept what someone is saying as true, then 'Jag tror dig' is correct. But for believing in someone's capabilities, existence, or a concept, 'på' is necessary.
Många tror på ödet. (Many believe in fate.)
§ Understanding 'Tror'
The Swedish verb 'tror' is a common and essential word for beginners. It generally means 'to think' or 'to believe'. You will use it frequently in everyday conversations. It's a regular verb in its present tense form, which makes it straightforward to learn. Pay attention to how it's used in different contexts, as the English translation can sometimes shift slightly depending on the nuance.

Tycker (to think/have an opinion)

When to use 'tror' vs 'tycker':

- Use 'tycker' when you are giving your personal opinion or feeling about something. It implies a subjective judgment.
Jag tror att det kommer att regna. (A guess about a fact)
- Translation Hint
- I think it will rain.
Jag tycker att regn är mysigt. (An opinion/feeling about rain)
- Translation Hint
- I think rain is cozy.
Tänker (to think/to consider)
'Tänker' means 'to think' in the sense of actively using your brain, pondering, or planning. It's about the process of thought, not necessarily the outcome (an opinion or belief).
Jag tänker på dig.
- Translation Hint
- I am thinking of you.
Vad tänker du göra imorgon?
- Translation Hint
- What are you thinking of doing tomorrow?
When to use 'tror' vs 'tänker':

- Translation Hint
- I am thinking about the solution.

This sentence structure is common in Swedish when using 'att' (that) to introduce a subordinate clause. The main clause is 'Hon tror' (She thinks) and the subordinate clause is 'att hon kommer' (that she is coming).
Here, 'De tror' (They believe) is the main clause, followed by 'att' and the subordinate clause 'jag åker snart' (I am leaving soon).
The negation 'inte' (not) is placed after the verb 'tror' in the main clause. The structure then follows with 'att' and the subordinate clause.
Vilket alternativ passar bäst in i meningen: 'Jag ___ att det kommer att regna imorgon.'?
'Tror' är det mest naturliga valet när man uttrycker en förmodan eller en uppfattning om framtiden. 'Tänker' handlar mer om tankeprocessen, 'anser' är starkare än 'tror' och 'vet' antyder säkerhet.
Om någon säger 'Jag tror inte på spöken.', vad menar de då?
Att 'inte tro på något' innebär att man har en övertygelse om att det inte existerar eller är sant.
Välj det alternativ som bäst kompletterar meningen: 'Han ___ att hon var upptagen, så han störde inte henne.'
'Förmodade' (eng. presumed, assumed) är ett bra synonym till 'trodde' i denna kontext, där det handlar om en gissning eller antagande baserat på observationer eller information. 'Visste' är för säkert, 'tvivlade' är motsatsen och 'hoppades' passar inte in i sammanhanget.
Att säga 'Jag tror det.' är alltid en stark bekräftelse på sanningen.
Att säga 'Jag tror det.' indikerar ofta en förmodan eller en åsikt, inte nödvändigtvis en absolut säkerhet eller sanning. Det kan uttrycka osäkerhet eller en gissning.
Uttrycket 'att tro på sig själv' betyder att man har självförtroende.
Att 'tro på sig själv' är ett idiomatiskt uttryck som betyder att ha förtroende för sina egna förmågor och att ha en positiv syn på sig själv.
Man kan ersätta 'tror' med 'vet' i alla sammanhang utan att ändra meningen.
'Tror' och 'vet' är inte utbytbara i alla sammanhang. 'Vet' indikerar en fakta eller säker kunskap, medan 'tror' handlar om en uppfattning, gissning eller åsikt.
Jag ___ att du har rätt i den frågan.
'Tror' fits best here to express belief or opinion. 'Tänker' (think/plan), 'menar' (mean), and 'anser' (consider/deem) don't quite capture the nuance of believing someone is correct in this context.
Hon ___ inte på spöken, trots alla historier hon hört.
'Tror' is the correct verb when expressing belief or disbelief in something supernatural like ghosts. 'Känner' (feel/know), 'vet' (know facts), and 'finner' (find) are not appropriate.
De ___ att investeringen kommer att ge god avkastning på lång sikt.
'Tror' expresses their conviction or belief about the investment's future performance. While 'hoppas' (hope) or 'förväntar' (expect) could be used, 'tror' implies a stronger degree of confidence or opinion based on some reasoning. 'Antas' (is assumed) is passive.
Många experter ___ att klimatförändringarna är en oåterkallelig process om vi inte agerar nu.
'Tror' is suitable here as it conveys the experts' conviction or assessment. While they might 'påstår' (assert) or 'varnar' (warn), 'tror' reflects their professional opinion based on evidence. 'Förmodar' (presume) is too weak.
Jag ___ mig att vi kan lösa det här problemet tillsammans.
The phrase 'tror mig' or 'jag tror mig' implies a strong personal conviction or belief in one's own ability or a situation's outcome. 'Övertygar' (convince), 'förlitar' (rely on), and 'litar' (trust) do not fit this specific construction.
Han ___ inte längre på politiska löften efter alla besvikelser.
'Tror på' is used to express belief or faith in something or someone. Here, it indicates a loss of faith in political promises. While 'litar på' (trust in) is similar, 'tror på' is a more direct fit for believing in the validity or sincerity of promises. 'Hoppas' (hope) and 'fäster' (attach) are not suitable.
This sentence structure (Subject-Verb-Negation-Adjective-Preposition-Object) is common when expressing that something lacks a basis.
The order reflects a typical subject-verb-prepositional phrase structure followed by adjectives modifying the noun.
This construction uses 'det är viktigt att' (it is important to) followed by an infinitive and a prepositional phrase.
Jag ___ att det är viktigt att förstå de underliggande motiven bakom beteenden för att kunna ge adekvat respons.
'Tror' fits best here to express a personal conviction or belief about the importance of understanding underlying motives.
Många forskare ___ att klimatförändringarna kräver omedelbara och drastiska åtgärder för att undvika oåterkalleliga konsekvenser.
'Tror' in this context conveys the strong conviction and consensus among researchers regarding the urgency of climate action.
Trots alla bevis ___ han fortfarande på att konspirationsteorin var den enda sanningen, vilket indikerade en djup rotad övertygelse.
The past tense of 'tror', 'trodde', is required to match the past tense of the sentence and express his continued belief despite evidence.
Jag ___ uppriktigt att en holistisk strategi är nödvändig för att tackla de komplexa utmaningarna i dagens samhälle.
'Tror' expresses a present, sincere belief in the necessity of a holistic approach.
Hon ___ att hennes intuition aldrig svek henne, en känsla som hade väglett henne genom många svåra beslut.
Here, 'trodde' (believed) indicates her consistent reliance on and faith in her intuition over time.
Experterna ___ att digitaliseringen kommer att fortsätta omforma arbetsmarknaden i grunden under de kommande decennierna.
