Etymology 1[edit]

From Old Swedish skula, from Old Norse skulu, from Proto-Germanic *skulaną.

Verb[edit]

skola (present ska or skall, preterite skulle, supine skolat)

  1. shall, will, be going to; used in the present tense (ska or skall) with a main verb in the infinitive to give the future tense, mostly intended future, or used in the past tense (skulle) with a main verb in the infinitive to express the conditional mood or the future of the past.
    Jag ska äta
    I'm going to (shall) eat
    Om jag hade en pizza så skulle jag äta den
    If I had a pizza, I would eat it
    Jag skulle just äta pizzan när svanen attackerade
    I was just going to eat the pizza when the swan attacked
    Jag skulle inte ha ätit två pizzor
    I shouldn't have eaten two pizzas (can also be expressed with borde)
    1. Used to make a phrase polite(r). How impolite (if at all) each less polite example is depends on familiarity and context, like in English.
      Kan du skjutsa mig till stan?
      Can you give me a ride to town?
      Skulle du kunna skjutsa mig till stan?
      Could you ("would you be able to") give me a ride to town?
      Jag vill ha en kaka
      I want a cookie
      Jag skulle vilja ha en kaka
      I would like (to have) ("would want to have" – idiomatic) a cookie
      Vi skulle vilja betala
      We would like to pay
      Jag ska ha den där
      Give me that one ("I shall have that one")
      Jag skulle vilja ha den där
      I would like to have that one
      Kan du flytta bilen lite så att vi får plats?
      Can you move your car a bit to make room for us?
      Skulle du kunna flytta bilen lite så att vi får plats?
      Could you ("would you be able to") move your car a bit to make room for us?
      Skulle du kunna tänka dig att flytta bilen lite så att vi får plats?
      Would you be willing (would you consider, "would you be able to imagine yourself") to move your car a bit to make room for us?
      Ska det vara en kaka till?
      Would you like ("shall it be") another cookie? (dated)
Usage notes[edit]

For semantic reasons, this verb hardly ever appears in the infinitive, which is unknown to many or perceived as archaic. The infinitive may also be perceived as archaic due to once being the present tense form used for plural subjects.

Conjugation[edit]

The short form of skall is ska and is more commonly used (skall matches English shall in tone and is used in similar contexts). However, skall is used in the expression vad som komma skall (what is to come), the grammar of which is very dated.

See also[edit]
  • tack (please (to add politeness))
  • är du snäll (please (in polite requests))

Etymology 2[edit]

From Old Norse skóli, from Proto-West Germanic *skōlu, from Late Latin schola (learned discussion or dissertation, lecture, school), from Ancient Greek σχολή (skholḗ, spare time, leisure), from Proto-Indo-European *seǵʰ- (to hold, have, possess).
