Questions & Answers about Vi justerar timpriset i den mån omfattningen växer.
Why is there no som after i den mån in this sentence?
When i den mån is used to mean "to the extent that" or "insofar as", the word som is completely optional. In professional or formal contexts like this one, it is very common to drop the som for a more concise flow.
What does the word mån actually mean here?
Mån is a noun that translates to "degree", "extent", or "measure". You rarely use it as an independent, standalone noun in modern Swedish; instead, it survives in fixed expressions like i den mån (to the extent), i viss mån (to a certain extent), and i stor mån (to a large extent).
If I start the sentence with I den mån omfattningen växer, how does the rest of the sentence change?
Because of the Swedish V2 (verb-second) rule, the entire subordinate clause counts as the first block of information. The main verb must come immediately after it, so you have to swap the subject and verb in the main clause: I den mån omfattningen växer, justerar vi timpriset.
