Questions & Answers about Lantlivet erbjuder en lugn tillvaro. Därför flyttar fler dit.
Why is the word order flyttar fler instead of fler flyttar after Därför?
Därför (therefore) is an adverb, not a conjunction. Because it takes up the first position in the sentence, the Swedish V2 (verb-second) rule dictates that the verb flyttar must immediately follow it, pushing the subject fler to the third position.
Why do we use dit here instead of där?
Swedish distinguishes between location and destination. Because the verb flyttar (moving) involves motion towards a place, you must use the directional adverb dit (to there). You would only use där (there) for a stationary location, like in De bor där (They live there).
Can fler stand on its own without a noun to mean 'more people'?
Yes! While fler literally just means 'more' (for countable things), it is very commonly used on its own as a pronoun to imply 'more people'. Note that we use fler rather than mer because people are countable.
What is the nuance of tillvaro compared to liv?
While both can translate to 'life', tillvaro specifically refers to an existence, daily conditions, or state of being in a particular place or situation. Liv is the broader, more general word for 'life' as opposed to death, or the entirety of one's lifespan.
