Questions & Answers about Förutsättningen i sig är bra, i den mån vi är överens.
The lesson mentions i den mån (som). Why isn't the word som used in this sentence?
When i den mån acts as a subordinating conjunction meaning 'insofar as' or 'to the extent that', the word som is optional. You could just as easily say i den mån som vi är överens, but dropping som is very common, especially in written Swedish.
Why do we use sig in i sig? Shouldn't it match the 'en' word förutsättningen?
The phrase i sig is a fixed expression meaning 'in itself' or 'inherently'. We use the reflexive pronoun sig for any third-person subject (he, she, it, they) when referring back to that subject. You do not change it to match the grammatical gender of the noun.
Is överens a passive verb here because it ends in an s?
No, överens is actually an adjective meaning 'in agreement', which is why it follows the verb är (are). Because it naturally ends in an s, it does not change form for plural subjects like vi, unlike most regular adjectives in Swedish.
Since i den mån introduces a subordinate clause, how would the word order change if I wanted to make that part negative?
