Questions & Answers about Kanske kommer hans chef imorgon.
Does the word hans change if it describes an ett-word or a plural noun?
No, it doesn't! Unlike words like min or din (which change to mitt/mina or ditt/dina), the third-person possessive pronouns hans (his), hennes (her), dess (its), and deras (their) never change form. You will always use hans regardless of the gender or number of the noun.
Why does the verb kommer come before hans chef?
This is because of the Swedish V2 rule. In a normal sentence, the verb must be the second piece of information. Since this sentence starts with Kanske (Maybe), the verb kommer (is coming) has to take the second spot, pushing the subject hans chef (his boss) right after it.
Why is the English translation "is coming" when the Swedish word kommer just means "comes"?
Swedish doesn't have a separate continuous form like English does (is coming, is eating, etc.). You just use the standard present tense verb. Because of this, kommer translates to both "comes" and "is coming" depending on what sounds most natural in English.
Is it spelled imorgon as one word, or i morgon as two words?
You will see both, and both are completely correct. Writing it as one word (imorgon) is very common in everyday Swedish, but using two words (i morgon) is just as standard.
