Questions & Answers about Jag undrar också om du vet sanningen.
Why do we use om in this sentence?
In Swedish, om is used to mean "if" or "whether" when turning a yes/no question into a subordinate clause. Just like in English when you say "I wonder if...", you use om to connect the main clause to the thing you are wondering about.
What is the word order inside the om-clause?
The phrase om du vet sanningen is a subordinate clause. In these types of clauses, the subject (du) always comes immediately after the linking word (om), followed directly by the verb (vet).
Why is också placed after the verb undrar?
Why do we use vet for "know" instead of känner?
Swedish has different words for "to know". The verb vet (from att veta) is used when you know facts or information, which applies perfectly to sanningen (the truth). You would use känner instead if you were talking about knowing or being familiar with a person or a place.
