Felmeddelandet fick henne att fundera på om hon borde skjuta upp intervjun.

Swedish often makes compound nouns by joining words together, so:

• fel = error, mistake
• meddelande = message

Together, felmeddelande means error message.

The ending -et is the definite article for a neuter noun, so:

• ett felmeddelande = an error message
• felmeddelandet = the error message

So Felmeddelandet means the error message.

This pattern means caused someone to do something or made someone do something.

Breakdown:

• fick = got / made / caused
• henne = her
• att fundera = to think / to wonder / to reflect

So:

• fick henne att fundera = made her think / caused her to wonder

This is a very common Swedish structure:

• Det fick mig att skratta. = It made me laugh.
• Nyheten fick honom att ändra sig. = The news made him change his mind.

Because henne is the object form of hon.

Compare:

• hon = she
• henne = her

In this sentence, the error message affected her, so Swedish uses the object form:

• Felmeddelandet fick henne ...

Just like in English, you say it made her think, not it made she think.

fundera på means think about, consider, or wonder about.

When followed by om, it often means wonder whether / think about whether.

So:

• fundera på = think about
• fundera på om = wonder whether / consider whether

Examples:

• Jag funderar på saken. = I’m thinking about the matter.
• Jag funderar på om jag ska gå. = I’m wondering whether I should go.

In your sentence, fundera på om hon borde... means she was thinking about whether she should do something.

Here om means whether.

It introduces an indirect yes/no question or a clause of uncertainty:

• om hon borde skjuta upp intervjun = whether she should postpone the interview

This is very common in Swedish after verbs like:

• undra = wonder
• fråga = ask
• veta in some contexts = know
• fundera på = think about / wonder

Examples:

• Jag undrar om han kommer. = I wonder whether he’s coming.
• Hon frågade om jag hade tid. = She asked whether I had time.

borde is the past form of bör, but it is very often used with present meaning to express should / ought to.

So:

• hon borde = she should / she ought to

This is different from:

• hon ska = she will / is going to / is supposed to
• hon måste = she must / has to

So borde suggests advice, hesitation, or a judgment about what would be best.

Examples:

• Jag borde sova. = I should sleep.
• Du borde ringa henne. = You should call her.

In your sentence, it sounds like she was considering whether postponing the interview would be the right thing to do.

skjuta upp is a particle verb, similar to English put off.

• skjuta = shoot / push
• upp = up

But together, skjuta upp means postpone.

In many Swedish sentences, the particle stays after the infinitive verb:

• hon borde skjuta upp intervjun

This is normal. Compare:

• Jag vill skjuta upp mötet. = I want to postpone the meeting.
• Vi sköt upp resan. = We postponed the trip.

Like English phrasal verbs, the meaning is not always obvious from the individual parts.

intervjun means the interview.

Swedish often uses the definite form when talking about a specific thing already known from the context.

• en intervju = an interview
• intervjun = the interview

In this sentence, it is not just any interview; it is a particular interview she is supposed to have, so the definite form is natural.

This clause has normal subordinate-clause word order:

• om = whether
• hon = she
• borde = should
• skjuta upp intervjun = postpone the interview

So:

• om hon borde skjuta upp intervjun

Unlike main clauses, subordinate clauses do not use inversion after an introductory word.

Compare:

• Hon borde skjuta upp intervjun. = She should postpone the interview.
• ... om hon borde skjuta upp intervjun. = ... whether she should postpone the interview.

The order stays straightforward here: subject + verb + infinitive phrase.

Not in this sentence.

få can mean different things depending on context:

• få ett brev = receive a letter
• få någon att göra något = get/make someone do something

Here the structure is clearly the second one:

• fick henne att fundera

So fick means made / caused, not received.

Yes. fundera often suggests more deliberate thought than plain think.

Depending on context, it can be:

• think about
• wonder
• consider
• reflect on

In this sentence, because it is followed by om and a possible action, wonder whether or consider whether both fit well.

So the sentence suggests she was not just having a random thought; she was actively considering a decision.

Yes. A few natural alternatives are:

• Felmeddelandet gjorde att hon började fundera på om hon borde skjuta upp intervjun.
• Felmeddelandet fick henne att tänka på om hon borde skjuta upp intervjun.
• Efter felmeddelandet funderade hon på om hon borde skjuta upp intervjun.

These are slightly different in style, but they keep the same basic idea. The original version is natural and fairly standard Swedish.
