Questions & Answers about Waarom heb je elke kleine fout in het concept uitvergroot?
Why is the past participle uitvergroot instead of uitgevergroot?
The verb is uitvergroten (to magnify or exaggerate). It is a separable verb starting with uit-, but the base verb starts with the inseparable prefix ver-. Because ver- is unstressed, the past participle skips the usual -ge- addition. You just attach uit- to the past participle of vergroten, which is vergroot.
Does concept mean the same thing as the English word "concept"?
It can, but it is often a "false friend". While it can mean an abstract idea, in a writing or business context like this one, het concept means a "draft" (such as a rough draft of a document or plan).
Why do we say elke kleine fout instead of elk klein fout?
Fout is a de word (de fout). For de words, "every" translates to elke, and any adjective in between gets an -e ending (kleine). If it were a het word, you would use elk and drop the -e on the adjective (like elk klein detail).
Why does the past participle uitvergroot end in a -t?
