Questions & Answers about Analysen är klar när vi utvärderat resultatet.
Wait, shouldn't there be a har before utvärderat?
Normally, the present perfect tense requires har (have), as in har utvärderat. However, Swedish often drops the auxiliary verbs har and hade in subordinate clauses. Since när (when) starts a subordinate clause here, dropping har is completely correct. This is called ha-bortfall (ha-dropping).
Is it wrong if I choose to say när vi har utvärderat?
Not at all! Including har is always grammatically correct and is actually more common in relaxed, everyday speech. Dropping it is a stylistic choice that makes the sentence sound slightly more formal or concise, which is very common in written Swedish.
How does utvärderat differ from just värderat?
The root verb att värdera usually means to value or estimate the financial worth of something (like a car or a house). By adding the prefix ut-, we get att utvärdera, which means to evaluate, assess, or analyze the outcome of something, such as resultatet (the result) in this sentence.
Why is the adjective klar instead of klart here?
