Questions & Answers about Utflykten var värd varje minut.
Why is it värd here and not värt?
You might be used to the common phrase det är värt det (it is worth it), where värt is in the ett-form to match det. In this sentence, the adjective must match the en-word utflykten, so it takes the en-form värd.
Why is minut in the indefinite form?
The word varje (every) is always followed by a noun in the singular indefinite form. It works exactly like English in this case: we say "every minute", not "every the minute".
Could I say varenda minut instead of varje minut?
Yes, absolutely! Varenda means "every single", so varenda minut would just add a bit more emphasis, showing that not a single minute was wasted.
What are the parts that make up the word utflykten?
The root word utflykt (excursion/outing) is built from ut (out) and flykt (flight or escape). You can think of it as a literal "escape" from your everyday routine.
