Questions & Answers about Vi brukar inte godkänna undantag.
Why does inte go between brukar and godkänna?
How does brukar translate to "usually"? Isn't "usually" an adverb?
In English, "usually" is an adverb, but Swedish uses the auxiliary verb brukar to express the same idea. It means "to be in the habit of doing something". Because it is an auxiliary verb, the main verb that follows it must be in its infinitive form (godkänna).
The translation says "exceptions", but isn't undantag singular?
It is both! Undantag is an ett-word that ends in a consonant (ett undantag). In Swedish, these types of words do not get an extra ending in the indefinite plural. They look exactly the same whether you mean "an exception" or "exceptions".
Is godkänna a compound word?
Yes, it is built from the words god (good) and känna (to feel or to know). If you "feel something is good", you approve it!
