Jeg kan finde kontobevægelsen og betalingstransaktionen, forudsat at jeg læser kontoudtoget.

Because after a modal verb like kan (can), Danish uses the infinitive form of the main verb, without at.

So:

• jeg kan finde = I can find
• not jeg kan finder

This works the same way with other modal verbs too:

• jeg vil læse = I want to read / will read
• jeg skal betale = I must pay / will pay
• jeg må gå = I may / must go

So the pattern is:

• subject + modal verb + infinitive

In your sentence:

• Jeg kan finde ... = I can find ...

Forudsat at means provided that, assuming that, or on condition that.

It introduces a condition:

• forudsat at jeg læser kontoudtoget = provided that I read the account statement

It is correct and fairly formal. In everyday speech, many Danes would more often use simpler alternatives such as:

• hvis = if
• så længe = as long as

For example:

• Jeg kan finde kontobevægelsen og betalingstransaktionen, hvis jeg læser kontoudtoget.

That sounds more everyday and less formal.

So forudsat at is perfectly good Danish, but it has a slightly more formal or written tone.

Because forudsat at introduces a subordinate clause, and in Danish subordinate clauses usually keep normal subject-verb order:

• jeg læser
• not læser jeg

Compare:

• Main clause: Jeg læser kontoudtoget.
• Question/inverted order: Læser jeg kontoudtoget?
• Subordinate clause: ... at jeg læser kontoudtoget

So in your sentence:

• forudsat at jeg læser kontoudtoget

The word at is a strong clue that a subordinate clause is starting, and that means you usually get subject + verb.

Because Danish usually puts the definite article at the end of the noun instead of using a separate word like English the.

So:

• en kontobevægelse = an account movement / transaction entry

• kontobevægelsen = the account movement / the entry

• en betalingstransaktion = a payment transaction

• betalingstransaktionen = the payment transaction

• et kontoudtog = a bank statement / account statement
• kontoudtoget = the bank statement / the account statement

The endings depend on the noun’s gender:

• common gender nouns usually take -en in the definite singular
• neuter nouns usually take -et in the definite singular

So:

• en ... → ...en
• et ... → ...et

Because in Danish, the definite article is usually a suffix, not a separate word.

English:

• the account statement

Danish:

• kontoudtoget

This is one of the biggest differences from English.

A separate definite word does exist:

• den
• det
• de

But those are mainly used when there is an adjective or some other modifier before the noun:

• kontoudtoget = the account statement
• det nye kontoudtog = the new account statement

So in your sentence, there is no adjective before the nouns, so the normal suffixed form is used.

Danish loves compound nouns, and English speakers often need help seeing the pieces.

Here is the breakdown:

• konto = account

• bevægelse = movement
  → kontobevægelse = account movement

• betaling = payment

• transaktion = transaction
  → betalingstransaktion = payment transaction

• konto = account
• udtog = extract / statement
  → kontoudtog = account statement / bank statement

Then the definite endings are added:

• kontobevægelsen
• betalingstransaktionen
• kontoudtoget

A useful learning strategy is:

1. find the last part of the compound first
2. then work backward

For example, in betalingstransaktionen, the main noun is transaktion, and betalings- describes what kind of transaction it is.

That s is a linking element often found in Danish compounds. It does not always translate to anything by itself.

So:

• betaling
  • transaktion
• becomes betalingstransaktion

This linking s is common in many compounds, but it is not completely predictable from an English speaker’s point of view. You often just have to learn the compound as a whole.

Other examples:

• arbejde
  • tid → arbejdstid = working hours
• sikkerhed
  • kontrol → sikkerhedskontrol = security check

So the s in betalingstransaktion is normal compound formation.

They are singular because the sentence refers to a specific account movement, a specific payment transaction, and the account statement.

Singular definite forms:

• kontobevægelsen = the account movement
• betalingstransaktionen = the payment transaction
• kontoudtoget = the account statement

If the sentence referred to more than one, you would expect plural forms instead, for example:

• kontobevægelserne = the account movements
• betalingstransaktionerne = the payment transactions

So the singular form suggests that one particular entry and one particular transaction are being referred to.

Yes. The main clause follows standard Danish word order:

• Jeg = subject
• kan = finite verb
• finde = infinitive
• kontobevægelsen og betalingstransaktionen = object

Danish main clauses typically follow the V2 rule, meaning the finite verb comes in the second position.

Here, the first element is Jeg, so the second element is kan:

• Jeg kan finde ...

If something else were moved to the front, the verb would still stay in second position:

• Kontobevægelsen og betalingstransaktionen kan jeg finde ...
• Forudsat at jeg læser kontoudtoget, kan jeg finde ...

So yes, the word order is completely normal.

Because forudsat at jeg læser kontoudtoget is a subordinate clause, and Danish often uses a comma before such clauses.

However, there is an important detail: Danish comma rules allow two systems:

• with start comma
• without start comma

If you use start comma, you write:

• Jeg kan finde kontobevægelsen og betalingstransaktionen, forudsat at jeg læser kontoudtoget.

If you do not use start comma, you can also write:

• Jeg kan finde kontobevægelsen og betalingstransaktionen forudsat at jeg læser kontoudtoget.

So the comma here is acceptable and normal, but depending on the comma system being used, it may also be omitted.

Yes. In many contexts, hvis would be the most natural everyday replacement.

For example:

• Jeg kan finde kontobevægelsen og betalingstransaktionen, hvis jeg læser kontoudtoget.

That means roughly the same thing.

The difference is mostly tone:

• forudsat at = more formal, more like provided that
• hvis = more neutral, everyday if

So if you are speaking casually, hvis may sound more natural.

Because Danish normally writes compound nouns as one word.

So:

• kontoudtog
• not konto udtog

This is very important in Danish spelling. What English writes as several words, Danish often writes as one compound word.

Examples:

• bank account → often a compound in Danish
• payment transaction → betalingstransaktion
• account statement → kontoudtog

If you split them incorrectly, it can look unnatural or even confusing to a Danish reader.

Yes, it is a real and understandable word, especially in banking or accounting contexts. It sounds somewhat technical or administrative.

Literally, it is:

• konto = account
• bevægelse = movement

In financial language, it refers to a movement on an account, meaning an entry or transaction affecting the balance.

English speakers might think of things like:

• account entry
• account movement
• transaction on the account

So it is not everyday casual vocabulary for all situations, but it is quite normal in financial or banking contexts.

Your sentence is correct, but it is fairly formal and technical. A more everyday version might be:

• Jeg kan finde kontobevægelsen og betalingstransaktionen, hvis jeg læser kontoudtoget.

Or even, depending on context:

• Jeg kan finde dem, hvis jeg læser kontoudtoget.

What makes the original feel formal is mainly:

• forudsat at
• the long technical nouns
• the very explicit phrasing

So the original is good Danish, especially in a written or professional context, but a casual speaker might simplify it.

It is læser because the subject is jeg, and the verb is in the present tense:

• jeg læser = I read / I am reading

The infinitive is:

• at læse = to read

So:

• kan finde → infinitive after modal
• jeg læser → present tense in the subordinate clause

That is why the sentence mixes an infinitive (finde) and a present tense form (læser).

A rough pronunciation guide for læser is something like LEH-suh or LEH-ser, but the exact vowel is not like a normal English e. The æ sound is important and takes practice.

Yes. Danish allows that, and when you do, the main clause still follows the V2 rule.

So you can say:

• Forudsat at jeg læser kontoudtoget, kan jeg finde kontobevægelsen og betalingstransaktionen.

Notice what happens in the main clause:

• not jeg kan
• but kan jeg

That inversion happens because the subordinate clause has taken the first position, and the finite verb in the main clause must still come second.

This is a very useful pattern to learn in Danish.
