Questions & Answers about Placeringen hon valde gör tatueringen väldigt synlig.
Where is the word som in this sentence?
It has been left out between Placeringen and hon. In Swedish, just like in English, you can omit the relative pronoun som (that/which) when it acts as the object of its relative clause. Because hon is the subject of the relative clause (hon valde = she chose), som is safely dropped: The placement [that] she chose.
Does this sentence break the V2 (verb-second) rule? The verb gör comes fourth!
It perfectly follows the V2 rule! The trick is that the entire noun phrase Placeringen hon valde acts as a single block in the first position (the subject). Therefore, the main verb gör correctly sits in the second structural position.
Why is the adjective synlig used here instead of synligt?
The adjective synlig describes tatueringen (the tattoo). Because en tatuering is a common gender (en-word) noun in the singular, the adjective takes its basic form. If the noun were an ett-word, it would be synligt, and if it were plural, it would be synliga.
Can I always use gör to mean 'makes' when it causes a state, like 'makes the tattoo visible'?
