Questions & Answers about Vi gennemgår hvert budget før vi overfører pengene.
Why do we use hvert instead of hver for 'each' here?
The word budget is an et-word (neuter), so you must use the neuter form hvert. You use hver with en-words (common gender).
Does gennemgår literally mean 'go through'?
Yes! It is a compound verb made from gennem (through) and går (goes). Just like in English, 'going through' something can mean reviewing it.
Why does pengene end in -ne? Isn't 'money' singular?
In English, 'money' is singular, but in Danish, penge is always a plural noun. The -ne ending is the plural definite article, which turns it into 'the money'.
What are the two parts that make up the verb overfører?
It is made of over (over) and fører (leads or carries). Together, they mean to 'carry over' or 'transfer'.
Why is the word order før vi overfører and not før overfører vi?
The word før (before) starts a subordinate clause here. In these dependent clauses, the subject (vi) stays in front of the verb (overfører), so the normal V2 (verb-second) rule does not flip them.
