Questions & Answers about De granskade vartenda utlägg gällande flyget.
Why is vartenda used here instead of varenda?
Because it describes utlägg (expense), which is an ett-word (ett utlägg). The determiner must match the noun's gender. If they were examining every single detail (en detalj), it would be varenda detalj.
Why is utlägg in the indefinite form?
Words like varenda, vartenda, and varje (every) are always followed by the indefinite singular form of the noun in Swedish. Even though the expenses belong to a specific flight, the grammar rule dictates the indefinite utlägg rather than the definite utlägget.
How does the word gällande function in this sentence?
It acts as a preposition meaning 'concerning' or 'regarding'. It is actually the present participle of the verb gälla (to concern or to apply). Just like in English, Swedish often uses present participles ending in -ande or -ende to link ideas together.
Could I use kostnad instead of utlägg for 'expense' here?
You could, but they have slightly different nuances. Ett utlägg specifically refers to an out-of-pocket expense or money advanced for something (like on a business trip), which is often expected to be reimbursed later. En kostnad is a more general term for a cost.
