Learn Dutch: Wij accepteren elk nadeel, mits het voordeel groot is. - We accept every disadvantage, provided that the advantage is big.

The word mits is a subordinating conjunction. This means it introduces a subclause, which pushes the conjugated verb to the very end. That is why the verb is comes at the end of the clause, making it mits het voordeel groot is.

Is mits interchangeable with als?

They are similar but not exactly the same. While als simply means if, mits translates to provided that or on the condition that. It is a stricter condition. In this sentence, it emphasizes that we only accept the disadvantage if the advantage is big.

Why is it elk nadeel and not elke nadeel?

The word nadeel is a het-word (het nadeel). When you want to say every or each with a singular het-word, you must use elk without the extra e. If it were a de-word, like kans (chance), you would use elke, as in elke kans.

I notice both nadeel and voordeel end in -deel. How are these words built?
