What does så snart mean, and what kind of expression is it?
Så snart means as soon as. It is a conjunction that introduces a subordinate clause.
In this sentence, the subordinate clause is:
så snart taksatoren har besigtiget fugtskaden
That clause sets the time for the action in the main clause.
Why does the sentence start with så snart?
Danish often begins a sentence with a time clause, just like English can:
- As soon as the assessor has inspected the moisture damage, ...
- Så snart taksatoren har besigtiget fugtskaden, ...
Starting with the time clause puts focus on when the main action happens.
Why is it undersøger forsikringsselskabet and not forsikringsselskabet undersøger?
