Questions & Answers about Servitören kommer med en kanna nybryggt kaffe om tio minuter.
Why is nybryggt spelled with a "t" at the end if it comes right after en kanna (an en-word)?
How is the word nybryggt formed?
It is a compound word combining ny (new/freshly) and bryggt (brewed). The word bryggt is the past participle of the verb brygga (to brew). Because it functions as an adjective describing the ett-word kaffe, it takes the -t ending.
The translation says "is coming", but kommer is present tense. Don't we need a future tense here?
No, it is extremely common in Swedish to use the simple present tense to talk about the future, as long as there is a time expression in the sentence that makes the future context clear. Here, the phrase om tio minuter tells us it is happening in the future, so kommer is all you need.
Why do we use the preposition om for "in" in om tio minuter?
