Questions & Answers about Anna drömmer ofta om ett varmt resmål.
Why do we use om after drömmer?
In Swedish, the verb att drömma (to dream) is typically paired with the preposition om to mean "to dream about" or "to dream of" something. It is a fixed phrase, so it helps to memorize drömmer om as a single unit!
Why is ofta placed where it is, instead of at the end of the sentence?
In a main clause, sentence adverbs like ofta (often) or inte (not) normally go right after the main verb. Because Swedish follows the V2 rule, the verb drömmer comes in the second position, and ofta immediately follows it.
Why is the adjective spelled varmt instead of just varm?
Adjectives need to agree with the gender of the noun they describe. Because resmål is a neuter word (ett resmål), you must add a -t to the base adjective varm.
How does the word resmål translate to "destination"?
Resmål is a compound noun built from en resa (a trip/journey) and ett mål (a goal/target). So, a "trip goal" is the standard Swedish way of saying "destination".
