How do you say please in Sweden?

"Tack" is used if you order something but it is the word for thankyou.

For example, whereas it is common in English to say "Please could I have a glass of water" or " Could I have a glass of water please" , the Swedish way would translate to the grammar of the second sentence here.

- Kan jag få ett glas vatten, tack

Snäll means 'pleasing' or 'sweet' and can be used in the way we say please...

- Kan någon vara snäll och förklara....

Translates as "Can someone be pleasing and explain..." whereas we might say "Could someone please explain...."
