Usage notes
Matches in tone and is used in similar contexts, for example in legal documents or for dramatic or poetic effect. A good way to think about the more common alternative form is also as a "de-dramatized" shall, usually being otherwise identical in meaning to shall. Translating ska is often a matter of rephrasing an English sentence with shall for a more everyday tone: "Jag ska sjunga i kören imorgon" → "I shall sing in the choir tomorrow" (match for meaning) → "I will / I'm going to / I'm (if the rest is casual) gonna sing in the choir tomorrow" (match for tone).

See the usage notes for and  for two other examples of words that have a direct translation that is often unidiomatic or a poor match for tone.
