😍😍Hi friends 👍👍Don't forget to listen to the pronunciation 😊Learn Swedish easily😊

In Swedish, the phrase “to be allowed to” can be translated as “att få lov att” or “att ha lov att.” Here’s how you can use it in sentences:

  1. Att få lov att:

    • Jag får lov att gå ut ikväll. (I am allowed to go out tonight.)
    • Får jag lov att öppna fönstret? (May I be allowed to open the window?)
    • Hon fick lov att använda min dator. (She was allowed to use my computer.)
  2. Att ha lov att:

    • Jag har lov att ta en paus nu. (I have permission to take a break now.)
    • Har du lov att äta godis? (Are you allowed to eat candy?)
    • Han hade lov att komma lite senare. (He had permission to come a bit later.)

In these sentences, “få lov att” and “ha lov att” are used to indicate permission or being allowed to do something. They can be followed by an infinitive verb to express what action or activity one is allowed to engage in.

Remember to conjugate the verb “få” (to get) or “ha” (to have) based on the subject and tense of the sentence.
