Questions & Answers about Turas ni inte om att köra till förskolan?

Why does turas end in an 's'? Is this a passive verb?
No, it is not passive. Turas om (to take turns) is a deponent verb, meaning it always ends in -s but has an active meaning. Because it is a deponent verb, the present tense is turas rather than taking a standard present tense ending.
Why is the word om placed after ni inte?
Turas om is a particle verb. In questions and other main clauses, the verb and its particle are split. The verb (turas) takes the first position, followed by the subject (ni) and the sentence adverb (inte). The particle (om) lands right after those.
Why do we use att köra instead of just köra or körande?
In Swedish, when a preposition or particle like om is followed directly by an action, you use an infinitive phrase: att + the infinitive verb (köra). While English uses the gerund form here ("take turns driving"), Swedish essentially says "take turns to drive".
Is there a difference between förskolan and dagis?
Förskola (preschool) is the official, modern term used in Sweden for early childhood education. Dagis (daycare) is an older, colloquial word that people still use heavily in casual conversation, but the institutions themselves are always called förskola.
