Last week I covered dependent clauses, or bisatser, and some common words to know when using presenting a <\/span>bisats<\/span><\/i>. So, have you practiced?! Vad bra, we\u2019re going to do bisatser 201 now. Specifically, what to do when adding an adverb into your <\/span>bisats.<\/span><\/i>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I mentioned last week<\/a> that bisatser<\/em> consist of an intro word <\/span>(bisatsinledare)<\/span><\/i> like <\/span>eftersom, medan, n\u00e4r,<\/span><\/i> etc, followed by the subject, then verb, etc. The word order is as usual and looks like this:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a01 \u00a0 2
\n<\/span>Jag saknar dig <\/span><\/i>n\u00e4r<\/i><\/b><\/span> du \u00e4r borta<\/span>.<\/span><\/i> \u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span><\/i>
\n<\/span>\u00a0 I miss you <\/span>when<\/b><\/span> you are away<\/span>.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Remember, you can also flip the <\/span>bisats<\/span><\/i> and make it an introductory clause. That looks like this: <\/span>
\n<\/span>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 1\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a02 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 3<\/span>
\n<\/span>N\u00e4r<\/i><\/b> du \u00e4r borta <\/span><\/i><\/span>saknar jag dig.<\/span><\/i>
\n<\/span><\/i>When<\/strong> you are gone<\/span><\/span>, I miss you.<\/p>\n

\u2026 what are the numbers for? To help us locate the verb – it is always the second element of a Swedish sentence. So here, consider our bisats<\/em> \u201c<\/span>N\u00e4r du \u00e4r borta<\/span><\/i>\u201d as the first element, then the verb follows, then the subject comes third. <\/span>If you\u2019re scratching your head after that, take a moment to review inverted word order here<\/a>. But if you\u2019re all good, let\u2019s move along! Last week I gave this example sentence:<\/span><\/p>\n

Eftersom Kate inte* gillar att flyga<\/span><\/i><\/span>\u00a0m\u00e5ste vi \u00e5ka t\u00e5g till \u00d6sterrike.
\n<\/span><\/i>Because Kate doesn\u2019t like to fly<\/span><\/span>, we must take the train to Austria.<\/span><\/p>\n

*note here that the <\/span>inte<\/span><\/i> follows the subject. <\/span>Oj d\u00e5,<\/span><\/i> what\u2019s that about?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In Swedish, when you have a <\/span>satsabverbial<\/span><\/i>, in this case <\/span>inte,<\/span><\/i> it goes between the subject and the first verb. Some common <\/span>satsadverbial<\/span><\/i> are: inte, nog, bara, alltid, aldrig, \u00e4ven, verkligen, f\u00f6rresten<\/em>, and the list goes on. We\u2019ll go over a few examples and then I\u2019ll leave you some practice sentences to try for yourself.<\/span><\/p>\n

bisatsinledare: om
\n<\/span> satsadverbial: bara<\/span><\/p>\n

Vi undrar<\/span><\/i> om<\/i><\/b> Maria <\/span><\/i>bara<\/i><\/b> \u00e4ter gr\u00f6nsaker<\/span><\/i><\/span>.
\n<\/span><\/i>We wonder <\/span>if <\/b>Maria <\/span>only <\/b>eats vegetables<\/span><\/span>.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n


\nbisatsinledare: att<\/span>
\nsatsadverbial: verkligen<\/span><\/p>\n

J<\/span>ag tror <\/span><\/i>att <\/i><\/b>hon <\/span><\/i>verkligen<\/i><\/b><\/span> gillade t\u00e5rtan<\/span>.<\/span><\/i>
\n<\/span><\/i>I think that she really liked the cake.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n


\nbisatsinledare: om
\nsatsadverbial: redan<\/span><\/p>\n

Om<\/b> du <\/span>redan<\/b> k\u00f6pte biljetten<\/span><\/em><\/span> f\u00e5r du g\u00e5 ombord direkt.<\/em> <\/span>
\n<\/span>If<\/b> you <\/span>already <\/b>bought the ticket,<\/span> you may go directly onboard.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Let\u2019s throw in a few examples with multiple verbs. Although the sentence structure gets more complicated, our adverb is still going to be placed between the subject and first verb:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

bisatsinledare: varf\u00f6r
\n<\/span>satsadverbial: inte<\/span><\/p>\n

Vet du <\/span>varf\u00f6r<\/b> Erik <\/span>inte<\/b> har ringt oss idag?<\/span><\/span><\/em>\u00a0<\/em>
\n<\/span>Do you know <\/span>why<\/b> Erik has <\/span>not <\/b>called us today<\/span><\/span>?<\/span><\/p>\n


\nbisatsinledare: eftersom
\n<\/span> satsadverbial: tyv\u00e4rr<\/span><\/p>\n

Eftersom<\/b> jag <\/span>tyv\u00e4rr<\/b> inte kan komma p\u00e5 festen<\/span><\/span>\u00a0skulle du kunna ge presentkortet till Annika?<\/span><\/em>
\n<\/span>Since I unfortunately cannot come to the party<\/span><\/span>, could you give the gift card to Annika?<\/span><\/p>\n

…phfew, that last one was a long one! Now you try – can you arrange these sentences with the proper word order? Write in the comments which number you\u2019d like the correct answers to. The adverb is bolded.<\/span><\/p>\n
