Chefen vill inte skjuta upp mötet, så jag skickar en påminnelse till alla nu.

Skjuta upp is a particle verb, and it means to postpone / to put off.

It works a lot like English put off:

• skjuta upp mötet = postpone the meeting

In the infinitive, it stays together:

• att skjuta upp
• vill skjuta upp

But when the verb is conjugated in a main clause, the particle often stays later in the sentence:

• Jag skjuter upp mötet = I postpone the meeting

So in your sentence, vill inte skjuta upp is the infinitive after the modal verb vill.

Because chefen means the boss.

Swedish usually adds the definite article as an ending:

• en chef = a boss
• chefen = the boss

So Chefen vill inte ... means The boss doesn’t want to ...

Because mötet means the meeting, not a meeting.

The noun möte is a neuter noun:

• ett möte = a meeting
• mötet = the meeting

The sentence is talking about a specific meeting that both speaker and listener already know about, so Swedish uses the definite form mötet.

In a main clause, inte usually comes after the finite verb.

Here, the finite verb is vill:

• Chefen vill inte skjuta upp mötet

That is the normal Swedish order:

• subject + finite verb + inte
  • rest of sentence

Compare:

• Jag kommer inte
• Hon gillar inte kaffe
• Vi vill inte vänta

So inte is in the expected position.

Yes — and Swedish often uses the simple present tense where English might use either present progressive or future.

So:

• jag skickar ... nu can mean I’m sending ... now
• depending on context, it can also feel like I’ll send ... now

Swedish does not require a special -ing form like English does. The word nu makes the timing clear.

Så here means so in the sense of therefore / as a result.

The sentence has two parts:

• Chefen vill inte skjuta upp mötet
• så jag skickar en påminnelse till alla nu

So the logic is: The boss doesn’t want to postpone the meeting, so I’m sending a reminder to everyone now.

It connects the first clause to the result in the second clause.

Because så here is a coordinating conjunction, similar to and or but. After a coordinating conjunction, Swedish usually keeps normal word order:

• så jag skickar ...

So this is normal:

• Han är trött, så han går hem
• Jag är hungrig, så jag lagar mat

You would get inversion (verb before subject) if something else were placed first in the clause, for example:

• Nu skickar jag en påminnelse till alla

But after så, normal order is used.

En påminnelse means a reminder, while påminnelsen means the reminder.

Here, the speaker is introducing it as one reminder being sent, not referring to a specifically identified reminder:

• Jag skickar en påminnelse = I’m sending a reminder

If both speaker and listener already had a particular reminder in mind, then påminnelsen could be used.

Also, påminnelse is a common-gender noun:

• en påminnelse
• påminnelsen

Because with skicka, Swedish commonly uses till for the recipient:

• skicka något till någon = send something to someone

So:

• jag skickar en påminnelse till alla = I’m sending a reminder to everyone

Here, alla means everyone / all people concerned.

You should think of it as:

• to all rather than just all.

Yes. Nu is flexible, and changing its position changes the emphasis slightly.

Your sentence has:

• ... jag skickar en påminnelse till alla nu

That sounds natural and places now at the end for timing.

You could also say:

• Nu skickar jag en påminnelse till alla

That puts more emphasis on now and triggers inversion:

• Nu skickar jag ... not Nu jag skickar ...

Both are grammatical; they just sound a little different in focus.

Yes, very common.

The pattern is:

• vill = want to
• inte = not
• infinitive verb = skjuta upp

So:

• vill skjuta upp = wants to postpone
• vill inte skjuta upp = doesn’t want to postpone

This is a very standard Swedish structure with modal-like verbs:

• Jag vill gå
• Hon vill inte vänta
• Vi vill inte ändra planen
