Questions & Answers about Hvem vandt valget?
Is vandt a regular verb?
No, it is the irregular past tense of at vinde (to win). The conjugation pattern is vinder in the present, vandt in the past tense, and har vundet for the present perfect (has won).
Does the word valget only mean "the election"?
No, the base noun et valg translates to both "an election" and "a choice" in English. You have to rely on the context of the conversation to know which meaning is intended. It gets the -et ending here because it is a neuter noun (a t-word) in its definite form.
Why doesn't this question use inverted word order (verb before subject)?
Normally, Danish questions flip the subject and verb. However, when a question word like hvem (who) is the subject of the sentence doing the action, the word order remains straight (subject-verb), exactly as it does in English.
