Questions & Answers about När ska ni enas om förslaget?
Is 'enas' a reciprocal s-verb like the others in this lesson?
Yes! The base verb is ena (to unite). By adding the -s ending, it becomes enas, which means to unite with each other or to agree. Since the subject is ni (you plural), it shows that multiple people are agreeing with one another.
Is 'enas' in the present tense here?
No, it is actually in the infinitive form because it comes after the helping verb ska (will). To make the infinitive of an s-verb, you take the normal infinitive (ena) and add -s. For this specific verb, the infinitive and the present tense happen to look exactly the same!
Why do we use the word 'om' here?
In Swedish, enas om is a fixed phrase that means to agree on or to agree about something. You will almost always use om right after enas when mentioning the specific thing people are trying to agree on.
How do I know that 'förslaget' means 'the proposal' and not just 'a proposal'?
The basic word for a proposal is ett förslag. Because it is an ett-word (a noun that takes ett instead of en), we add -et to the end of the word to make it definite, creating förslaget (the proposal).
