Every and Anyone
To talk about "every" member of a group or state a rule that applies to "anyone," use the distributive pronouns enhver and ethvert. When used before a noun, the noun must be in its indefinite singular form. Your choice depends on the noun's gender.
"Enhver" with common nouns
Use enhver before common-gender (en) nouns.
| The law protects every citizen's right. | Loven beskytter enhver borgers rettighed. |
| Every thief fears the punishment. | Enhver tyv frygter straffen. |
"Ethvert" with neuter nouns
For neuter-gender (et) nouns, use ethvert.
| Every child needs freedom. | Ethvert barn har brug for frihed. |
| Every society has a duty. | Ethvert samfund har en pligt. |
"Enhver" as a standalone pronoun
To say "everyone" or "anyone" without specifying a noun, use enhver by itself.
| Everyone has a duty to abide by the law. | Enhver har pligt til at overholde loven. |
| Anyone who does not obey the law gets a punishment. | Enhver som ikke overholder loven, får en straf. |
