Questions & Answers about Kvalitetskontrollen er god for så vidt som stikprøven er stor nok.
Does for så vidt som change the word order in the second half of the sentence?
Yes, because it is a subordinating conjunction, the clause stikprøven er stor nok is a subordinate clause. While you cannot see the changed word order here because there is no central adverb (like ikke or altid), if there were one, it would go before the verb: for så vidt som stikprøven ikke er stor nok.
Is for så vidt som common in everyday Danish conversations?
It is quite formal and is mostly used in professional, academic, or written contexts, which fits perfectly with a sentence about quality control. In a casual chat, you would more likely hear så længe (as long as) or simply hvis (if).
Why does Kvalitetskontrollen have an 's' in the middle and a double 'l' at the end?
It is a compound noun made of kvalitet and kontrol, joined by a binding 's' to make pronunciation flow better. As for the double 'l', when a word ends in a short, stressed vowel followed by a single consonant (kontrol), you must double that consonant before adding a vowel suffix like the definite article -en.
What is the literal translation of stikprøven?
It literally translates to "the stab test" or "the prick test" (et stik + en prøve). In Danish, this is the standard and widely used term for a random sample or a spot check.
