Verb edit

vilja (present vill, preterite ville, supine velat)

  1. to want, desire
    De vill att vi hjälper dem att måla huset
    They want us to help them paint the house
    Jag vill klappa en gullig kanin
    I want to pet a cute rabbit
    Vill du ha kaffe eller te?
    Do you want coffee or tea?
    Jag vill till affären
    I want to go to the store (see the usage notes for why there is no gå, åka, or the like)
    Jag vill hem
    I want (to go) home
    • 1917 translation, the Bible, Deuteronomy (Femte Mosebok), 1:26
      Men I villen icke draga ditupp, utan voren gensträviga mot HERRENS, eder Guds, befallning.
      Notwithstanding ye would not go up, but rebelled against the commandment of the LORD your God.
  2. (rare) to intend, be going to, will
    Det vill komma till dig, när du är gammal nog.
    It will come to you, when you are old enough.
Usage notes edit
  • Used with verbs in the infinitive, without infinitive marker ("att"). However note that there may be a conjunction "att" (in the sense of "that") following right after. The first example is a case in point, which could be interpreted as They want that we help them or, more naturally, They want us to help them.
  • Unlike wanting to do something ("I want to eat") and wanting something to happen ("I want you to eat"), wanting an object is expressed with vilja in combination with ha ("have"). Thus "I want food" is said Jag vill ha mat (not Jag vill mat). Put another way, wanting to have (ha) is not a special case in Swedish, and needs to be specified.
  • Often used with an implied gå (“walk”), åka (“drive”), följa (“follow”), or the like. See ska, which works identically.
