Learn Dutch: Elke dag controleer ik ieder detail van dit unieke type. - Every day I check every detail of this unique type.

Both elk(e) and ieder(e) mean "each" or "every" and can be used interchangeably. Their endings change based on the noun's gender. Dag is a de-word, so it gets the -e ending to become elke. Detail is a het-word, and for singular het-words, we drop the -e and just use ieder (or elk).

Why is the word order controleer ik instead of ik controleer?

This is because of inversion. The sentence starts with the time phrase Elke dag. In Dutch, whenever you start a main clause with anything other than the subject, the verb must come in the second position, pushing the subject (ik) right after it.

Is controleren exactly the same as the English word "control"?

They look similar, but controleren is a classic false friend. In Dutch, it almost always means "to check," "to verify," or "to inspect." If you want to express "to control" in the sense of being in charge of or steering something, you would use words like beheersen or besturen.

Why does unieke get an -e ending if type is a het-word?
