Vi har gjort tydliga framsteg.

It is the present perfect.

In Swedish, the present perfect is usually formed with:

• har
  • supine

So here:

• har = have/has
• gjort = the supine form of göra (to do / to make)

So Vi har gjort ... means We have made / We have done ...

Because Swedish uses different forms for the past tense and the supine.

For göra:

• infinitive: göra
• present: gör
• past: gjorde
• supine: gjort

After har, you use the supine, not the past tense.

So:

• Vi gjorde tydliga framsteg = We made clear progress
• Vi har gjort tydliga framsteg = We have made clear progress

Because tydliga is agreeing with a plural noun.

The noun phrase is:

• tydliga framsteg

Here, framsteg is plural, so the adjective takes the plural form tydliga.

Compare:

• ett tydligt framsteg = a clear step forward / a clear advance
• tydliga framsteg = clear advances / clear progress

So the -a ending is a normal adjective ending for plural nouns.

Here it is plural.

This is a noun whose indefinite singular and indefinite plural look the same:

• ett framsteg = a step forward / an advance
• framsteg = advances / progress

So how do you know it is plural here? From the adjective:

• tydliga = plural
• therefore framsteg must be plural here

If it were singular, you would expect:

• ett tydligt framsteg

Because Swedish often has no article with an indefinite plural noun phrase.

In English, you might say:

• clear progress
• some clear advances

In Swedish, you can simply say:

• tydliga framsteg

There is no need for a word like some unless you specifically want it.

Compare:

• Vi har gjort tydliga framsteg. = We have made clear progress.
• Vi har gjort några tydliga framsteg. = We have made some clear advances.

Yes, basically. Tydlig often means:

• clear
• obvious
• distinct

In this sentence, tydliga framsteg means progress that is easy to see or noticeable.

Depending on context, English might translate it as:

• clear progress
• obvious progress
• noticeable progress

So tydliga does not just mean clear in the visual sense; it can also mean evident.

Yes. Göra framsteg is a standard Swedish expression meaning:

• to make progress

It is idiomatic, just like English says make progress rather than do progress.

So even though göra often means do or make, in this expression the whole phrase should be learned together:

• göra framsteg = make progress

Sometimes, but göra framsteg is the most natural expression for make progress.

For example:

• Vi har gjort tydliga framsteg. = a standard, natural way to say We have made clear progress
• Vi har gått framåt. = We have moved forward / progressed, also possible, but a bit different in tone

Göra framsteg often sounds slightly more formal or goal-oriented, especially in reports, school, work, medicine, or development contexts.

The word order is very straightforward:

• Vi = subject
• har = auxiliary verb
• gjort = main verb form (supine)
• tydliga framsteg = object / noun phrase

So the pattern is:

• Subject + auxiliary + supine + object

That is a very common structure in Swedish main clauses.

The difference is mainly tense and perspective.

• Vi gjorde tydliga framsteg = We made clear progress
  This is simple past. It describes something in the past.

• Vi har gjort tydliga framsteg = We have made clear progress
  This is present perfect. It usually connects the past action to the present situation.

So the version with har gjort often suggests that the progress is still relevant now.

Yes.

Depending on context, framsteg can refer to:

• progress in a general sense
• an advance
• a step forward

In this sentence, English usually prefers progress:

• We have made clear progress

But grammatically, Swedish is using the plural noun framsteg, which is closer to advances or steps forward.

That is normal. Swedish often uses framsteg where English simply says progress.

Yes, but it means something slightly different.

• ett tydligt framsteg = a clear step forward / a clear advance
• tydliga framsteg = clear advances / clear progress

The singular version focuses on one specific advance. The plural version suggests multiple signs of progress or progress more generally.

So in your sentence, the plural sounds natural because it describes progress in a broader sense.
