Questions & Answers about Men is bezig met het onderzoek inzake dit pand.
Why use inzake here instead of a simpler word like over?
inzake is a formal preposition meaning regarding or concerning. It literally stems from in zake (in the matter of). It perfectly fits the bureaucratic or legal tone of an official property investigation. In casual conversation, you would indeed just say over dit pand.
Why does the sentence use the pronoun men?
men translates to the impersonal one or people. It is a formal pronoun that matches the official tone set by inzake and pand. If a learner were talking to a friend about this, they would likely just use ze (they) to refer to the investigators.
Could I use the continuous form aan het onderzoeken instead of bezig met het onderzoek?
Is there a difference between pand and gebouw?
