Questions & Answers about Wij zullen het voertuig wegslepen, daar het de weg belemmert.
Wait, doesn't daar usually mean "there"? How does it mean "since" in this sentence?
While daar is most commonly the adverb for "there", it can also act as a formal subordinating conjunction meaning "since" or "because". You will mostly see this usage in formal written Dutch, like official parking notices, rather than in everyday conversation.
Does using daar as a conjunction affect the word order?
Yes. Because daar is a subordinating conjunction here, it pushes the conjugated verb to the very end of its clause. That is why the verb belemmert comes after the object de weg, exactly as it would if you used omdat.
If I wanted to say this in a normal, everyday conversation, what would I use instead of daar?
In everyday spoken Dutch, you would use omdat (because) or aangezien (since). Using daar is what makes this sentence sound like a strict, official warning from the municipality.
Why is the separable verb wegslepen written as one connected word here?
Because it is used alongside the auxiliary verb zullen (will). The auxiliary verb stays in the second position and pushes the full infinitive wegslepen to the end of the main clause, keeping it intact as a single word. If you dropped the auxiliary and used the present tense, the verb would split: Wij slepen het voertuig weg.
