Questions & Answers about När ska ni enas om förslaget?
How does the -s on enas fit into this lesson?
It makes the verb reciprocal! The base verb is ena, which means to unite. By adding the -s, it becomes enas, meaning to unite with each other, or to agree. It works exactly like ses (to see each other) or träffas (to meet each other).
Why do we use the word om after enas?
In Swedish, when you agree on or about a specific topic, you use the phrase enas om. Prepositions rarely translate perfectly word-for-word, so it is best to memorize enas om (to agree on) as a set phrase.
Is enas in the present tense or the infinitive here?
It is in the infinitive form because it comes right after the helping verb ska (will). With most s-verbs, the infinitive and the present tense look exactly the same (both end in -s), which is why they can sometimes be a little tricky to spot!
How can I tell that förslaget means the proposal and not just a proposal?
The ending -et makes it definite (the). The base word is an ett-word: ett förslag (a proposal). By adding -et to the end, it becomes förslaget (the proposal).
