Questions & Answers about Det där är en korrekt översättning av facktermen.
Since översättning is an en-word, why do we use Det där instead of Den där?
When you point to something to establish its identity (saying "This is a..." or "That is a..."), you always use the neuter pronoun det or det där, regardless of the noun's actual gender. This acts as a neutral pointer. Once you have established that the thing is en översättning, you would use den in your following sentences to refer back to it.
How would I apply this lesson's "satsfläta" (sentence intertwining) concept to ask: "What do you think that is a correct translation of?"
To form the satsfläta, you take the question word Vad (which logically belongs as the object of the preposition av) and extract it all the way to the front of the main clause: Vad tror du att det där är en korrekt översättning av? Notice how the subordinate clause is left "open" with the preposition av hanging at the very end.
Could I use the preposition för instead of av here?
No, av is the correct preposition to use when identifying the source material being translated (en översättning av boken, en översättning av termen). However, if you want to mention the target language it was translated into, you must use till: en översättning till svenska.
What exactly does the prefix fack- mean in facktermen?
The noun ett fack originally means a compartment or pigeonhole, but it is heavily used as a prefix to refer to a specific professional trade, specialty, or subject area. You will see it in many advanced vocabulary words at this level, such as fackspråk (technical jargon), facklitteratur (non-fiction/specialized literature), and fackförening (trade union).
