Questions & Answers about Den där koden är klar om fyra dagar.
Why do we use om instead of i for "in four days"?
In Swedish, when you want to say that something will happen in a certain amount of time in the future, you use om. If you used i (i fyra dagar), it would mean "for four days" as a duration of time.
Why is it den där koden and not just den där kod?
When you use den där (that) or den här (this), Swedish requires the noun to be in its definite form. So you must combine den där with koden (the code) to mean "that code".
Why is the present tense är used instead of a future tense like kommer att vara?
In Swedish, it is very common to use the present tense to talk about the future as long as there is a time expression in the sentence. Because we have om fyra dagar, är klar naturally translates to "will be ready".
Does klar always mean "ready"?
Klar is a very useful word that can mean "ready", "finished", or "done" depending on the context. Here, it means the code will be finished or ready to use. It can also mean "clear", like a clear sky or clear water.
