Questions & Answers about I fråga om pris är det här bäst.
How exactly do we use the phrase i fråga om?
It is a fixed expression meaning "in terms of," "regarding," or "when it comes to." It is very versatile and often used at the beginning of a sentence to establish the topic, just like in i fråga om kvalitet (regarding quality) or i fråga om tid (in terms of time).
Why does the verb är come before the subject det här?
This happens because of the Swedish V2 (verb-second) rule. The entire introductory phrase I fråga om pris acts as the first block of information. The verb är must take the second position, which forces the subject det här into the third spot.
Why is the noun pris in the indefinite form instead of the definite priset?
When used in general or abstract expressions like i fråga om, Swedish typically keeps the noun in its bare, indefinite form without an article. This matches the English translation perfectly, as we say "as regards price" rather than "as regards the price."
Why use the neuter det här instead of the common den här?
The neuter form det här (meaning "this" or "this one") is used here either because the speaker is pointing to a general, unspecified concept, or because they are referring back to a specific ett-word (like ett alternativ, meaning an alternative). If they were talking about a specific en-word, like a car (en bil), they would use den här.
