Questions & Answers about Om vi hade revisionen idag skulle jag ifrågasätta vartenda kvitto.
Why is it vartenda kvitto instead of varenda kvitto?
Kvitto (receipt) is an ett-word (ett kvitto). The determiner 'every single' must match the noun's gender, so we use the ett-form vartenda instead of the en-form varenda.
Why is kvitto in the indefinite form here?
Just like with the simpler word varje (every), the intensifying determiners varenda and vartenda are always followed by a noun in the singular indefinite form. You say vartenda kvitto, never vartenda kvittot.
Why is the word order skulle jag rather than jag skulle?
The sentence starts with an 'if' clause (Om vi hade revisionen idag). Because this entire clause counts as the first piece of information in the sentence, the V2 rule forces the verb of the main clause (skulle) to come immediately after it, swapping places with the subject (jag).
How is the verb ifrågasätta constructed?
It is a compound verb built from i (in), fråga (question), and sätta (put or set). Literally meaning 'put in question', it functions exactly like the English phrase 'call into question'.
