Questions & Answers about Jeg registrerer hver udgift på computeren.
Why do we use hver in this sentence instead of hvert?
The word for "expense" is en udgift, which is a common gender noun. Because it is common gender, we must use hver for "each" or "every". If the noun was neuter, like et barn (a child), you would use hvert.
Why doesn't udgift have a definite ending here?
Just like in English, the words hver and hvert are followed by the singular, indefinite form of the noun. You say hver udgift (every expense), not hver udgiften.
Why is the preposition på used for "on the computer"?
In Danish, you almost always use the preposition på when talking about doing something on an electronic device, a screen, or the internet. For example, you do things på computeren (on the computer) and på telefonen (on the phone).
Does registrerer just mean "to register"?
It is a true cognate and can mean "register", but in administrative contexts like this one, it translates better as "record", "log", or "enter" (as in entering data).
