Learn Danish: Om dommedagen så kommer i morgen, er vi forberedte. - Even if doomsday should come tomorrow, we are prepared.

In this extreme hypothetical structure, om means 'if' and så acts as an intensifier. When you put the subject between them (om dommedagen så), it creates the meaning 'even if the subject were to' or 'even if the subject should'. It emphasizes that no matter how extreme the condition is, the outcome will not change.

Why is the second part of the sentence 'er vi' instead of 'vi er'?

This is a great example of the V2 (verb-second) rule. The entire first clause (Om dommedagen så kommer i morgen) counts as the first position of the full sentence. Therefore, the main verb (er) must immediately follow it in the second position, which pushes the subject (vi) to the third position.

Why is there an 'e' at the end of 'forberedte'?

The adjective forberedt (prepared) must grammatically agree with the subject it describes. Since the subject here is the plural pronoun vi (we), you must add the plural ending -e to make it forberedte.

Why does the sentence use the definite form 'dommedagen' (the doomsday) when English just says 'doomsday'?

In Danish, concepts that refer to a unique, universally known event or entity often take the definite form. Just like you would say 'the apocalypse' or 'the end of the world' in English, Danish uses the definite dommedagen for 'doomsday'.
