Om avsnittet
Det är, det finns and det blir are three phrases you’re going to hear constantly in Swedish. They can all seem simple at first, but the English translation doesn’t always tell you which one to use. In this episode, we’ll look at the difference between det är and det finns. Why do we say Det finns kaffe i köket, but Det är kallt ute? And why can both det är and det finns sometimes translate to “there is” or “there are”? We’ll also learn how Swedes use det blir to talk about changes, the future and what’s going to happen. What does I helgen blir det golf actually mean, and why can’t we simply translate blir as “becomes”? Study materials and exercises: Learn Swedish Library
