Questions & Answers about Visst är glampingen avskild, men prislappen är hög.
Why is the word order Visst är glampingen instead of Visst glampingen är?
In this concessive structure, visst (admittedly/sure) acts as an adverb at the start of the clause. Because Swedish strictly follows the V2 rule (the verb must be the second element in a main clause), the verb är has to come immediately after visst, pushing the subject glampingen to the third position.
Can I use another word for 'surely' like säkerligen instead of visst here?
Glampingen is an English loanword. Do all English words ending in '-ing' become en-words in Swedish?
Generally, yes! English loanwords that end in '-ing' (like glamping, camping, dejtning) are almost always adopted as en-words in Swedish. Therefore, to say 'the glamping', you just add the standard definite suffix -en to get glampingen.
