Questions & Answers about Jag hoppas att organisationen kommer att växa.
The current lesson is about noun compounding. How would I use organisation as the first part of a compound word?
When organisation is the first part of a compound word, it takes a linking 's' (foge-s). For example, combining it with nummer (number) gives you organisationsnummer (organization number). As a helpful rule, Swedish words ending in -tion almost always use this linking -s- when joining with another noun.
Why does hoppas end in an -s? Is it a passive verb?
No, it is not passive. Hoppas is a deponent verb. These are verbs that always end in -s but have an active meaning. You have probably seen other common ones by now, like minnas (to remember), kännas (to feel), and andas (to breathe).
Could I say ska växa instead of kommer att växa here?
It is much more natural to use kommer att here. In Swedish, kommer att is used for predictions or events outside of your direct control. Ska often implies personal intention, a strict plan, or a promise. Since you cannot physically force the organization to grow just by hoping for it, kommer att is the correct choice.
There are two att's in this sentence. Are they doing the same job?
