Questions & Answers about Tänk att oändliga världar faktiskt existerar!
How does Tänk att function here, and does it mean the same thing as Tänk om?
Tänk att translates to 'To think that' or 'Imagine that' and is used to express wonder, surprise, or disbelief about a real situation or fact. In contrast, Tänk om means 'What if' and is used to introduce a hypothetical situation.
Why does the adverb faktiskt come before the verb existerar?
Because this is a subordinate clause introduced by att. In Swedish subordinate clauses, sentence adverbs like faktiskt, inte, or ofta must be placed before the finite verb. If this were a main clause, it would be Oändliga världar existerar faktiskt.
Could I use finns instead of existerar in this sentence?
Yes, you could say Tänk att oändliga världar faktiskt finns! However, existerar sounds slightly more scientific, profound, or philosophical, which fits the grand concept of infinite worlds perfectly.
Why does the adjective oändliga end in -a?
Oändliga (infinite) is modifying a plural noun, världar (worlds). In Swedish, adjectives get an -a ending when describing plural nouns, regardless of whether the noun is definite or indefinite.
