Questions & Answers about Vi presterar allra bäst när vi har samma rutin som ni.
Why does rutin not have a definite ending like rutinen after samma?
In Swedish, the word samma (same) acts like its own article. Because of this, it is always followed by the indefinite form of the noun. That is why we say samma rutin instead of samma rutinen.
Why do we use the subject pronoun ni instead of the object pronoun er at the end of the sentence?
When comparing things using som, you choose the pronoun based on what the rest of the implied sentence would be. This sentence really means the same routine as you have (som ni har). Because ni is the subject of that hidden verb, it stays in the subject form.
What exactly does allra mean before bäst?
The word allra is an amplifier used specifically with superlative adjectives. While bäst means best, adding allra translates to the very best or best of all. It adds extra emphasis to their performance.
Does presterar mean the same thing as the English word present?
No, they are false friends! The verb presterar means to perform, achieve, or deliver results at work, sports, or school. If you want to say that you present something, like a report or a gift, you need the verb presenterar.
