Perguntas frequentes
12 perguntasNo, that is a common mistake. 'Gånger' is countable, so you must use 'många'.
'Ofta' means 'often' (general frequency). 'Många gånger' means 'many times' (specific occurrences).
It is neutral. It works in both casual conversation and standard professional writing.
You say 'för många gånger'.
Yes, but remember the V2 rule: 'Många gånger har jag...' instead of 'Många gånger jag har...'.
You can just say 'ofta', but it loses the emphasis on the individual 'times'.
In this context, yes. In math, it also means 'multiplied by' (e.g., 2 gånger 2 är 4).
'Sällan' (rarely) or 'få gånger' (few times).
No, 'tider' refers to 'times' as in 'eras' or 'clock times' (e.g., 'öppettider' - opening hours).
Yes, very often! It's a rhythmic phrase that fits well in lyrics.
No, you use 'många människor' for many people. 'Många gånger' is only for frequency.
Use 'flera gånger'. It's slightly less than 'många'.
