Questions & Answers about I morgen skal vi videre.
Why is there no verb for "move" or "go" in this sentence?
In Danish, when a modal verb like skal is combined with a directional adverb like videre, you can often drop the main verb of motion. It is perfectly natural to just say skal vi videre instead of adding a verb like gå or rejse.
Why does the sentence say skal vi instead of vi skal?
This is because of the V2 rule (verb-second rule). The verb must be the second idea in a main clause. Since the time phrase I morgen takes up the first position, the verb skal must come next, pushing the subject vi after it.
What does videre literally mean here?
Videre literally means "further" or "onward". Combined with an implied verb of motion, it translates perfectly to "move on" or "continue".
Could skal also mean "are going to" in this context?
Yes! While skal can mean "must", it is also the most common way to express future plans in Danish. Depending on the context, this sentence could just as easily mean "Tomorrow we are moving on".
