Learn Swedish: Eriks vän kommer förmodligen inte till mötet. - Erik's friend is presumably not coming to the meeting.

In a standard Swedish main clause, sentence adverbs like förmodligen usually come directly after the verb and right before the negation inte. If you were to start the sentence with a time phrase instead of the subject, they would still stay in this same relative order: verb, förmodligen, inte.

How certain is förmodligen compared to other sentence adverbs?

It translates to probably or presumably, which shows a fairly strong belief that something is true. It is stronger than kanske (maybe), but slightly less absolute than words like säkert (certainly) or definitivt (definitely).

Why use the present tense kommer when the English translation says is coming?

Swedish does not have an exact equivalent to the English present continuous tense (is doing, is coming). Additionally, Swedish very often uses the simple present tense to talk about future events, especially with verbs of motion or scheduled events like a meeting.

Why is there no apostrophe in Eriks vän?

Unlike English, Swedish never uses an apostrophe to show possession. You just attach the -s directly to the end of the noun or name, which is why it is simply written as Eriks.
