"They just work."

Translation: De bara arbetar.

[satwita]

Wonder why the bara goes before arbetar, instead of after, as the notes say adverbs go after verbs in Swedish. Is bara an exception?

[HelenCarlsson]

Declarative main clauses in Swedish exhibit an almost exceptionless verb-second order. Only a small class of sentence adverbials (including "bara", "kanske," "nästan" and "rent av") can appear between the foundation and the verb.

This is quote from Basic Swedish by Jan Anward.

Vad betyder "rent av"?

[HelenCarlsson]

Jan Anward writes "rent av" split into two words, but "rentav" seems to be more common. Anyway, it means even/actually.

I'm using mobile app and I can't hover over words to see the translations (I could until today) nor do I hear the pronunciation? Is that a bug?

Restart your mobile

I'm using the app as well - clicking on underlined words gives me both.

maybe if you change from wifi to 4g during the lesson it confuses the app and it stops loading translations? dunno
