Questions & Answers about Produkten har utvecklats, så vi kan släppa den.
How do you form the present perfect passive in har utvecklats?
It is built using har plus the supine form of the verb with an added -s. The active supine of the Group 1 verb utveckla (to develop) is utvecklat. To make it passive, you simply attach an -s to the end, giving you utvecklats (has been developed).
Why do we use den instead of det at the end of the sentence?
The pronoun den (it) refers back to Produkten. Because produkt is an en-word, you must use den. If it were an ett-word, you would use det.
Does släppa only mean to release a product like in this sentence?
No, släppa basically means to let go or to drop. You can use it for releasing a new product or album, but also for letting go of someone's hand, dropping a subject in conversation, or releasing a physical object.
Why does the word order stay as vi kan instead of inverting to kan vi after the comma?
In this sentence, så (so) works as a coordinating conjunction that links two independent main clauses. Since it acts like words such as och (and) or men (but), the second clause keeps the standard word order with the subject (vi) coming before the verb (kan).
