Making Predictions
When you want to weigh options or make a prediction based on the current facts, use the fixed phrase alt andet lige. This translates to "all else being equal" or "all things considered."
Word Order
Alt andet lige is usually placed at the beginning of a sentence. Because Danish is a V2 (verb-second) language, starting a sentence with this phrase means the verb must immediately follow it, swapping places with the subject.
| All else being equal, the bookmaker gives the best odds. | Alt andet lige giver bookmakeren det bedste odds. |
| All else being equal, the squad is stronger on the home pitch. | Alt andet lige er truppen stærkere på hjemmebanen. |
Notice how the verbs (giver, er) come directly after the phrase, followed immediately by the subjects (bookmakeren, truppen).
| All things considered, it is probable that the defense wins the match. | Alt andet lige er det sandsynligt at forsvaret vinder kampen. |
| All things considered, a draw is a good result on the away pitch. | Alt andet lige er uafgjort et godt resultat på udebanen. |
| All else being equal, a victory on the home pitch is very probable. | Alt andet lige er en sejr på hjemmebanen meget sandsynlig. |
