1. to come; to move nearer, to arrive
   • 1973, Ted Gärdestad (lyrics and music), “Come Give Me Love”, in Ted:

     Kom ge mig världen. Kom ge mig fred. Kom sänk ditt huvud. Och lägg dig ned. Kom ge mig kroppen. Kom ge mig allt som du har. Och jag ska stanna kvar.

     Come give me the world. Come give me peace. Come lower your head. And lie down . Come give me the body. Come give me everything that you have. And I will stay.

   Låt den rätte komma in.

   Let the right one come in.

   Tiden är kommen.

   The time has come.

2. (colloquial) to come (orgasm)
   • 2021 March 12, Kristoffer Appelquist, episode 7, in Svenska nyheter , SVT1, 2:14:

     Om du inte vågar komma till sjukhuset så behöver du ju inte komma på sjukhuset heller, som jag alltid brukar säga.

     If you don't dare come to the hospital, you obviously don't need to come at the hospital either, as I tend to say.

Usage notes

• Used in the present tense together with a main verb in the infinitive (with infinitive mark) to express the future tense (mainly the "will future"). The meaning matches English "will come to" (except in tone), expressing an inevitability. Compare ska.

  att tala (“to speak”) → kommer att tala (“will (come to) speak”)
