Questions & Answers about Du måste förklara varenda avvikelse för det där utlägget.
What is the difference between using varenda here instead of just varje?
Varenda translates to "every single" and adds a lot of emphasis compared to the neutral varje (every). You use varenda here because avvikelse is an en-word. If you were emphasizing an ett-word, you would use vartenda.
Why is avvikelse in the indefinite form even though we are talking about specific discrepancies?
In Swedish, words meaning "every" or "each" — including varje, varenda, and vartenda — are always followed by the singular indefinite form of the noun. So it must be varenda avvikelse, never varenda avvikelsen.
Why does utlägget have the definite ending when it follows det där?
When you use the demonstrative pronouns den där or det där (that) to point something out, Swedish requires the noun that follows to be in its definite form. Since utlägg (expense) is an ett-word, you use det där and add the definite suffix -et to get det där utlägget.
What exactly is an utlägg in this context?
An utlägg specifically means an "outlay" or "expense" — usually money you have paid out of pocket for work purposes that you want to be reimbursed for. This makes explaining every single discrepancy (avvikelse) a very typical corporate scenario.
