Questions & Answers about Jag tror att det här laget kommer att förlora.
Why do we use kommer att förlora here for the future tense?
The phrase kommer att followed by a verb in its basic infinitive form (like förlora) is used to make a prediction about the future. Since you are guessing that the team will lose based on what you believe, kommer att is the perfect choice.
Why does the sentence use tror for "think" instead of tycker or tänker?
In Swedish, tror is used when you express a belief or a guess about something you don't know for absolute certain, like a future sports result. You use tycker for subjective personal opinions (like "I think the team's colors are ugly") and tänker for the cognitive process of thinking or planning.
Why is it det här laget? Doesn't laget already mean "the team"?
Yes, it does! When pointing out "this" specific thing in Swedish, you combine den här or det här (meaning "this here") with the definite (the) form of the noun. Because lag is an ett-word, it becomes det här laget (literally "this here the-team").
Are there two different uses of the word att in this sentence?
