Questions & Answers about De ska testa koden om en vecka.
Why does the Swedish sentence use om instead of i for 'in a week'?
When talking about a future event that will happen after a certain amount of time, Swedish uses om. So, om en vecka means 'in a week' from now. If you used i en vecka, it would mean 'for a week' (a duration of time).
Why is the verb testa instead of the present tense testar?
Because of the helper verb ska (will or are going to). Just like in English, helper verbs are followed by the infinitive (dictionary) form of the main verb. So it is ska testa (will test).
Why is the word koden instead of just kod?
Koden is the definite form, meaning 'the code'. In Swedish, you add -en to the end of a singular en-word to make it definite. En kod is 'a code', and koden is 'the code'.
How should I pronounce De in this sentence?
Even though it is spelled De, it is almost always pronounced as dom in everyday spoken Swedish.
