Questions & Answers about Koden är inte klar ännu.
I know ännu means 'yet' here, but can I use än instead?
Yes! In everyday spoken Swedish, you will very often hear än instead of ännu. Saying Koden är inte klar än means exactly the same thing.
Why is the adjective klar used here instead of klart?
Because koden (the code) is an en-word. If you were talking about an ett-word, like arbetet (the work), you would add a -t and say Arbetet är inte klart ännu.
This lesson teaches using om for future time. How would I follow up this sentence by saying 'It will be ready in an hour'?
You would use om to state the amount of time until the future event happens: Den är klar om en timme (It will be ready in an hour).
Does klar only mean 'ready'?
No, klar is a very flexible word. In this context it means 'ready' or 'finished', but it can also mean 'clear' (such as clear water, or a clear explanation).
