Hvad angår indboet, dækker indboforsikringen det.

Hvad angår means as for, regarding, or when it comes to.

So:

• Hvad angår indboet = As for the contents / Regarding the household contents

It is a fixed expression in Danish and is quite common in formal or neutral written language.

A more literal breakdown is:

• hvad = what
• angår = concerns / pertains to

But in normal English, you would not usually translate it word for word. You would translate the whole expression as as for or regarding.

Because indboet is the definite form: the contents / the household contents.

• et indbo = contents / household effects / household contents
• indboet = the contents

Danish often adds the definite article to the end of the noun:

• en bil = a car
• bilen = the car

and for neuter nouns:

• et hus = a house
• huset = the house

Since indbo is a neuter noun (et indbo), the definite form is indboet.

Indbo means the movable things inside a home: furniture, electronics, clothes, and other household possessions.

It does not mean the building itself.

So it is closer to:

• household contents
• contents of the home
• sometimes household effects

This is why it appears in insurance language: indbo is what a contents insurance policy covers.

Indboforsikringen means the contents insurance or the household contents insurance.

It is a compound noun:

• indbo = household contents
• forsikring = insurance
• indboforsikring = contents insurance
• indboforsikringen = the contents insurance

Danish makes compound nouns very freely, often where English uses separate words.

So:

• bilforsikring = car insurance
• rejseforsikring = travel insurance
• indboforsikring = contents insurance

And then the definite ending is added to the whole compound:

• indboforsikring → indboforsikringen

This is because Danish is a V2 language in main clauses. That means the finite verb normally comes in the second position.

Here, the sentence starts with the fronted phrase:

• Hvad angår indboet = first position

So the finite verb comes next:

• dækker = second position

Then comes the subject:

• indboforsikringen

So the structure is:

• Hvad angår indboet, dækker indboforsikringen det.

If you remove the fronted phrase, the basic order would be:

• Indboforsikringen dækker det.
• The contents insurance covers it.

But once Hvad angår indboet is placed first, the verb must come before the subject:

• Hvad angår indboet, dækker indboforsikringen det.

This is very typical Danish word order.

Because det is the direct object of dækker.

The phrase Hvad angår indboet introduces the topic, but it is not the grammatical object inside the main clause. The main clause still needs its own object:

• dækker = covers
• det = it

So the structure is essentially:

• As for the contents, the contents insurance covers it.

Even though indboet has already been mentioned, the main clause still refers back to it with det.

This is very natural in Danish with this kind of topic-setting phrase.

Because indbo is a neuter noun:

• et indbo

For pronouns referring back to a singular noun:

• common gender (en-word) → usually den
• neuter (et-word) → usually det

Since indbo is neuter, the correct pronoun is det.

Compare:

• en bil → den
• et hus → det
• et indbo → det

Grammatically, indbo is singular, even though it refers to a collection of items.

This is similar to some English collective or mass-like nouns. In insurance language, indbo is treated as one category: household contents.

So Danish uses singular grammar:

• indboet
• det

even though the meaning includes many objects.

Dækker is the present tense of dække, which means to cover.

In an insurance context, dække means that an insurance policy pays for loss or damage.

So:

• Forsikringen dækker det = The insurance covers it

Other examples:

• Forsikringen dækker brand. = The insurance covers fire damage.
• Den dækker ikke tyveri. = It does not cover theft.

The comma separates the introductory phrase from the main clause:

• Hvad angår indboet, = topic-setting phrase
• dækker indboforsikringen det. = main clause

In English, you would often do the same:

• As for the contents, the contents insurance covers it.

So the comma helps mark the pause and the structure of the sentence.

Yes, it is somewhat neutral-to-formal, especially in writing.

It is perfectly natural, but it can sound more formal or structured than everyday speech.

Other ways to express a similar idea are:

• Med hensyn til indboet ... = With regard to the contents ...
• Når det gælder indboet ... = When it comes to the contents ...
• Angående indboet ... = Regarding the contents ...

So hvad angår is correct and natural, especially in informational or administrative language.

Yes, that is grammatically possible, but it is not exactly the same in emphasis.

• Indboforsikringen dækker indboet.
  = The contents insurance covers the contents.

This is simpler, but it sounds a bit repetitive and less elegant.

• Hvad angår indboet, dækker indboforsikringen det.
  = As for the contents, the contents insurance covers it.

This version highlights indboet as the topic first, perhaps because the speaker is discussing several categories, such as the building, the contents, liability, and so on.

So the original sentence is more discourse-oriented: it says, in effect, Now, regarding the contents...

Yes. It is a general expression.

Examples:

• Hvad angår prisen, er den rimelig.
  = As for the price, it is reasonable.

• Hvad angår børnene, kommer de senere.
  = As for the children, they are coming later.

• Hvad angår vejret, ser det fint ud.
  = As for the weather, it looks fine.

So in your sentence, indboet is just the thing being singled out as the topic.

Yes. It is natural, especially in explanatory or insurance-related language.

It sounds like something you might read in:

• an insurance brochure
• a policy explanation
• a FAQ
• an informational text

It is not especially casual, but it is clear and idiomatic.

The likely stress would be on the topic and the important insurance term:

Hvad angår INDboet, DÆKker indboforsikringen det.

In context, the sentence is probably contrasting indboet with something else, such as:

• the building
• damage to others
• legal protection
• accident insurance

So the fronted phrase helps organize the information: as for the contents...

A useful way to see it is:

1. Topic-setting phrase
   Hvad angår indboet = As for the contents

2. Main clause with V2 word order
   dækker indboforsikringen det = the contents insurance covers it

So the overall pattern is:

• As for X, [verb] [subject] [object].

In Danish:

• Hvad angår X, verb subject object.

That is a very helpful pattern to recognize and reuse.
