Questions & Answers about Morgen wordt het mooi weer, toch?
How does toch change the feeling of this sentence compared to using of niet?
Using toch implies you already believe it will be nice weather, and you are just expecting the other person to agree with you (like saying '..., right?'). If you used of niet (..., or not?), you would sound much less certain and leave more room for the listener to disagree.
The English translation says 'will be', so why does the Dutch sentence use wordt (becomes)?
Why are the subject and verb swapped around (wordt het instead of het wordt)?
Because the sentence starts with the time word Morgen (Tomorrow). In Dutch, whenever you start a sentence with anything other than the subject, the verb must jump into the second position, pushing the subject to the third position. This is called inversion.
Why doesn't the adjective mooi get an -e at the end here?
The noun weer is a het-word (het weer). The rule in Dutch is that adjectives in front of a het-word do not get an -e ending if there is no specific article (like het, dit, or dat) pointing to it. Since we are just saying 'beautiful weather' in a general, indefinite way, it stays mooi.
