Questions & Answers about Revisorn granskar varenda detalj under revisionen.
Why do we use varenda here instead of varje, and why not vartenda?
Varenda means 'every single' and adds a strong emphasis that varje (every) lacks. We use varenda because detalj is an en-word (en detalj). If the noun were an ett-word, like ett kvitto (a receipt), we would use vartenda instead.
Why is detalj in the indefinite singular form when the auditor is looking at all of them?
Just like in English, Swedish determiners like varje, varenda, and vartenda must be followed by a noun in the indefinite singular form. You are grammatically saying 'every single detail', not 'every single details'.
How are the words revisorn and revisionen related?
They share the same root. En revisor is the person doing the job (the auditor), while en revision is the process or event itself (the audit). Notice how Swedish uses the suffix -or for the profession and -ion for the action.
Could I use a simpler verb like tittar på instead of granskar?
You could, but granskar is much more precise for this context. While tittar på just means 'looks at', granskar means to examine, scrutinize, or inspect carefully. It is the standard verb for what an auditor does.
