I'm hoping someone would be able to correct any mistakes in my answers to a work book... There doesn't seem to be an answer book available. Many thanks if you can do this for me. Skriv vad, var eller varifrån 1)VAD heter du? 2)VAR arbetar han? 3)VARIFRÅN kommer hon? 4)VAR bor du? 5)VAD talar hon för språk? 6)VAD läser du för bok? 7)VAR läser han svenska? 8)VAD tror du? Bilda frågor av orden! 1)vad - heter - hon? 2)vad - läser - hon? 3)var - arbetar - du? 4)vad - skriver - han? 5)varifrån - kommer - du? 6)var - bor - du - nu? 7)vad - läser - han - för språk? 8)vad - studerar - hon - mer? ...Does this mean similar to "what else does she study?" Tack så mycket 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

All answers seem correct. Vad studerar hon mer? does indeed mean "What else does she study?" Edited by Dshödsh on 18 December 2011 at 1:01am 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I'm just confirming that everything is OK. It's possible to merge or split some question words for variation.
Examples: 3)VARIFRÅN kommer hon? or VAR kommer hon IFRÅN? 5)VAD talar hon FÖR språk? or VAD FÖR språk talar hon? (similar to German "Was für..?" 6)VAD läser du FÖR bok? or VAD FÖR bok läser du? 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

It is indeed correct, but, i.m.h.o. ‹Vad studerar hon mer då?› would sound a bit more natural. When mer ends a question and the meaning is ‹else› or ‹also› a ‹då› is usually attached. When ‹more› is intended we usually say ‹mera› (never written) or just ‹mer› alone. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Thanks Hampie.. So what would you say the translation would be for "Vad studerar hon mer" without the då?

No difference, it's only that the Swedish "då" is so common at the end of questions (without necessarily adding anything).
