Swedish splits the journey from the arrival. Till marks where you are heading: jag går till läkaren. Hos marks being at someone's place: jag är hos läkaren. The same pair covers people and businesses: till frisören, hos frisören.
Examples
- Imorgon ska jag till läkaren.
- Tomorrow I am going to the doctor.
- Jag är hos läkaren just nu.
- I am at the doctor's right now.
- Med receptet kan du hämta tabletterna på apoteket.
- With the prescription you can pick up the tablets at the pharmacy.
The mistake to avoid
Hos is only for people and their places, never for a town or a building on its own.
Where this fits in
Body, health & feelings, Swedish A2: Talk about your body, common illnesses, and how you feel. Visit a doctor or pharmacy and describe symptoms.
