Questions & Answers about Jag hoppas att intervjun går bra imorgon.

Why is intervju written as intervjun?

Because Swedish often uses a suffix to mark the definite form (the interview) instead of a separate word like the.

• en intervju = an interview (indefinite)
• intervjun = the interview (definite)
  Here, intervju is an en-word (common gender), so the definite singular ending is typically -n (or -en in full spelling, depending on the noun).

What does går bra mean here, and why is the verb gå used?

går bra is a very common idiom meaning goes well / turns out well. Swedish uses gå (to go) in several “how something proceeds” expressions:

• Det går bra. = It’s going well.
• Hur går det? = How’s it going?
  So intervjun går bra literally “the interview goes well,” i.e. “the interview goes well / the interview goes fine.”

Why is it går (present tense) even though it’s about tomorrow?
