Questions & Answers about Hij vraagt in hoeverre de databundel onbeperkt is.
Why is the verb is placed at the very end of the sentence?
The phrase in hoeverre (to what extent) introduces an indirect question, which acts as a subordinate clause. In Dutch subordinate clauses, the conjugated verb is pushed to the end. That is why is comes after onbeperkt rather than right after the subject de databundel.
Literally, what does in hoeverre translate to?
It literally translates to "in how far". Notice that it is written as two separate words. It is the standard Dutch way to express abstract concepts like "to what extent" or "to what degree".
Could I use hoeveel instead of in hoeverre to say "how much it is unlimited"?
No, hoeveel is strictly for quantities you can physically measure or count. Because being "unlimited" is a condition rather than a countable amount, you must use in hoeverre to ask about the limits or truth of that claim.
How is the word onbeperkt (unlimited) formed?
It comes from the verb beperken (to limit). It uses the past participle beperkt (limited) combined with the negative prefix on- (un-), resulting in onbeperkt (unlimited).
