Questions & Answers about Vi samordnar samåkningen så att alla får skjuts.
The words samordnar and samåkningen both start with sam-. Is this a common prefix?
Yes, the prefix sam- is very common and means together or jointly (similar to co- in English). It gives us samordnar (coordinate, literally co-order) and samåkningen (carpooling, literally the together-riding).
How does the word skjuts work, and how is it pronounced?
Skjuts translates to a lift or a ride. It is almost always paired with the verbs får (to get) or ger (to give), as in får skjuts (get a ride) or ger skjuts (give a ride). The skj spelling is pronounced with the Swedish sj-sound.
Does så att introduce a main clause or a subordinate clause here?
It introduces a subordinate clause showing purpose (so that). This means the BIFF rule applies. Although we do not have a sentence adverb like inte in this sentence, if we did, it would have to go before the verb: så att alla inte får vänta (so that everyone does not have to wait).
Since this lesson is teaching hur dags, how would I use it to ask what time we are coordinating the carpool?
You would place hur dags at the beginning of the sentence and apply the V2 (verb-second) rule by swapping the subject and verb: Hur dags samordnar vi samåkningen? (At what time do we coordinate the carpooling?).
