Questions & Answers about Jag kan redigera videon imorgon, om du vill kommentera den först.

Why is there no att after kan or vill?

Because kan and vill are followed by the bare infinitive in Swedish.

So you say:

• kan redigera
• vill kommentera

not:

• kan att redigera
• vill att kommentera

This is the same pattern used with other modal verbs, such as:

• ska göra
• måste gå
• får läsa

So in this sentence, both verb combinations are completely normal:

• Jag kan redigera
• du vill kommentera

What does kan mean here exactly?

Here kan most naturally means something like can / am able to / it works for me to.

In Swedish, kan can express:

• ability
• possibility
• practical availability

So in this sentence, it may mean:

• I am able to edit the video tomorrow
• I can edit the video tomorrow
• It would work for me to edit the video tomorrow

The exact nuance depends on context, just as in English.

Why is it and not just ?
