Questions & Answers about Med hänsyn till den extrema temperaturen borde vi stanna inomhus.
How exactly does med hänsyn till work here, and could I use i förhållande till instead?
Med hänsyn till means 'considering' or 'taking into account' (literally 'with consideration to'). It introduces a factor that influences your action. You cannot use i förhållande till here, as that means 'in relation to' or 'compared to', and we aren't comparing the temperature to anything else.
Why is the word order borde vi and not vi borde?
This is the V2 (verb-second) rule in action. The entire compound prepositional phrase Med hänsyn till den extrema temperaturen counts as the first block of information. The verb borde must come immediately after it in the second position, followed by the subject vi.
Why is it den extrema temperaturen with both den and the -en ending on the noun?
Because Swedish requires 'double definiteness' when a definite noun is modified by an adjective. You need the front article den, the definite adjective ending -a in extrema, and the definite noun suffix -en in temperaturen.
Could we say stanna inne instead of stanna inomhus?
