Questions & Answers about När lanserar ni produkten?
How would I answer this question to say 'We are launching it in two months'?
This is where you use om for future time! You would answer: Vi lanserar den om två månader. When talking about an event happening in a certain amount of time in the future, Swedish uses om instead of i.
The translation says 'are you launching', but isn't lanserar the present tense?
Yes! Swedish frequently uses the present tense to talk about scheduled future events. Because the question word När establishes that we are asking about a time, you don't need future markers like ska or kommer att here.
Why does the verb lanserar come before the subject ni?
This is the verb-second (V2) rule in action. Because the question word När takes up the first position in the sentence, the verb lanserar must come second. This pushes the subject ni into the third position.
Why does the word produkt have -en at the end?
Adding -en to the end of an en-word makes it definite. So, while en produkt is 'a product', produkten means 'the product'.
