Questions & Answers about Vilken fin lokal! Tänd belysningen så att vi ser bra.
The lesson is about så att. Can I just say så instead of så att here?
In everyday spoken Swedish, it is very common to drop the att and just say så vi ser bra. However, så att is the full, standard conjunction for expressing purpose ('so that' or 'in order to'), which is why it is written out here.
How would the word order work if we added inte (not) to the så att clause?
Because så att introduces a subordinate clause, you must put sentence adverbs like inte before the verb. If you wanted to say 'so that we do not see poorly', it would be så att vi inte ser dåligt.
Doesn't vilken usually mean 'which'? Why does it mean 'what a' here?
You are right that vilken means 'which' in questions, but it is also used at the start of exclamations to mean 'what a'! It must agree with the noun, so we use vilken for an en-word like lokal, vilket for ett-words, and vilka for plurals.
Why is the verb Tänd and not Tänder?
Tänd is the imperative form of the verb att tända (to turn on / to light). You use the imperative here because you are giving a direct command or instruction to someone.
