Questions & Answers about Strategin är för komplicerad.
Doesn't för usually mean "for"?
It often does! But here you are seeing för used as a degree adverb. When you put för directly before an adjective like komplicerad, it changes its meaning to "too". So för komplicerad translates to "too complicated".
Why is the adjective komplicerad and not komplicerat?
The adjective has to match the gender of the noun it describes. Because strategin is an en-word (coming from en strategi), the adjective takes the en-word form. If it were describing an ett-word, like ett system (a system), it would become för komplicerat.
How is the word strategin formed from its base word?
The base noun is en strategi (a strategy). Because this word already ends in a vowel, you just add -n to the end to make it definite ("the strategy"), creating strategin.
