Questions & Answers about Visst är jag medveten om att det regnat, men glampingen var autentisk.
Doesn't visst usually mean "sure" or "certainly"? How does it work here with men?
You are right! On its own, visst often means "sure" or "certainly". However, in the paired structure visst [X], men [Y], it creates a concession. It translates better to "admittedly", "it is true that", or a concessive "sure", acknowledging a counterpoint before introducing your main argument with men (but).
Why is the word order är jag instead of jag är after visst?
Is the auxiliary verb har missing in att det regnat?
Yes, but it is intentionally omitted. In Swedish subordinate clauses (like this one starting with att), you can drop the auxiliary verb har before a supine verb like regnat. Saying att det har regnat is also fully correct, but dropping the har is a very common and natural feature of written and spoken Swedish that you will see often at this level.
Why do we use the preposition om after medveten?
