Questions & Answers about Vilka visioner har regeringen för migrationen?
How can I predict the gender of words like vision and migration?
They both end in the international loanword suffix -ion. In Swedish, nouns ending in -ion are predictably en-words (common gender). This means you get forms like migrationen (the migration) with an -en ending.
Why does vision take an -er ending in the plural form visioner?
International loanwords ending in -ion almost always belong to the third declension. This means they form their plural by adding -er. Other common examples include stationer and diskussioner.
Why does the sentence use Vilka for 'What' instead of Vad?
When 'what' acts as an adjective modifying a noun (meaning 'what kind of' or 'which'), Swedish uses vilken, vilket, or vilka. Because visioner is plural, it requires the plural form vilka. You use vad only when 'what' acts as a standalone pronoun, as in Vad gör regeringen? (What is the government doing?).
How does the V2 (verb-second) rule work here with the question word phrase?
The V2 rule requires the conjugated verb to be in the second position. Here, the entire phrase Vilka visioner counts as the first position. Therefore, the verb har comes right after it, pushing the subject regeringen to the third position.
