Questions & Answers about Zudem überzeugt der günstige Preis jeden Kunden.
Why does the verb überzeugt come immediately after Zudem?
Zudem is an adverbial connector, not a coordinating conjunction like und. When you start a sentence with an adverb like zudem, außerdem, or darüber hinaus, it takes up the first position. The verb must stay in position two, which pushes the subject (der günstige Preis) into position three.
Why is it Kunden and not Kunde, considering the sentence means every customer in the singular?
The noun Kunde belongs to a group of masculine nouns called weak nouns or n-declension nouns. These nouns take an -n or -en ending in every case except the nominative. Since the customer is the direct object here, it is in the accusative case, so it becomes Kunden.
Why does the adjective in der günstige Preis end in -e instead of -er for a masculine noun?
Because the definite article der already shows that the noun is masculine and in the nominative case. When the article does the heavy lifting, the adjective just takes the weak ending -e. If there were no article at all, you would use the strong ending and say günstiger Preis.
Is the verb überzeugen separable?
No, überzeugen is an inseparable verb. While the prefix über- can be separable in some verbs, here it stays firmly attached to the root. That is why the sentence uses überzeugt rather than pushing über to the very end.
