“I thought it was really great”You said this to your tutor last Tuesday. It was grammatically perfect. And a native would never say it.What you said“Jag tyckte det var jättebra”
A native would say"Det var superbra!"
The nuanceYour version is grammatically perfect but reads like a formal thank-you note. Swedes keep it punchy — drop the extra clause and lead with the feeling. "Superbra" is warmer and more everyday than "jättebra" in this context.

Word Choice
Hinna vs. Kunna"Hinna" means "to have time to" — use it when the constraint is temporal, not ability. Swedes reach for it instinctively."Jag hann inte göra det igår."Cultural
Why Swedes Don't Split the BillPaying separately is the default. "Ska vi swisha?" is the native move.Gentle Correction
Tense After "igår""Igår" triggers V2 word order and simple past. Not "har gått" — just "gick."Grammar
The Passive "-s" FormAdding "-s" creates the reciprocal form. "Träffas" already means "to meet each other" — no need for "varandra.""Vi behöver träffas mer."Simple pricing
