Questions & Answers about Vi måste kontrollera vartenda utlägg angående projektet.
Why do we use vartenda here instead of varenda?
Vartenda is the form used for ett-words, and utlägg (expense) is an ett-word (ett utlägg). If the noun were an en-word, such as krona (crown/coin), you would use varenda, as in varenda krona.
Why isn't utlägg in its definite form, since we are talking about specific project expenses?
Even though we are talking about specific expenses, the determiner vartenda (just like the simpler word varje, meaning "every") always takes a noun in its indefinite singular form. You say vartenda utlägg, never vartenda utlägget.
What kind of word is angående?
It means "regarding" or "concerning" and functions as a preposition here. Grammatically, it is the present participle (the equivalent of an English "-ing" word) of the verb att angå (to concern). In Swedish, these participle forms always end in -ande or -ende.
Why does the translation say "check" instead of "control" for kontrollera?
