Questions & Answers about Vores hold rykker altid ud uanset om det er nat.
What exactly does uanset om mean, and what kind of clause does it start?
uanset om translates to "regardless of whether" or "no matter if". It combines the preposition uanset (regardless of) with the conjunction om (if/whether). Together, they start a subordinate clause. This means if you added a central adverb like ikke (not), it would come before the verb: uanset om det ikke er nat (regardless of whether it is not night).
The English translation says "responds to an emergency", but what does rykker ud literally mean?
The verb at rykke means "to pull", "to move", or "to advance", and ud means "out". Together, the phrasal verb at rykke ud literally means "to move out". It is the standard Danish expression for emergency services or response teams being dispatched to a scene.
Why does the adverb altid go between rykker and ud?
In a main clause, central adverbs like altid (always) or ikke (not) are placed immediately after the first verb. Because rykker ud is a phrasal verb made of a main verb (rykker) and a particle (ud), the adverb splits them: verb + adverb + particle.
Since hold is an et-word (et hold), shouldn't "our" be vort instead of vores?
