Questions & Answers about Varenda reseräkning måste granskas av revisionen.
Why do we use varenda here instead of vartenda or just varje?
Varenda means 'every single' and adds much more emphasis than the standard word varje (every). We use varenda because the noun it modifies, reseräkning (travel expense report), is an en-word. If it were an ett-word, we would use vartenda.
What form must the noun take after varenda?
Just like with varje, the noun following varenda must be in the singular indefinite form. That is why we say varenda reseräkning and not varenda reseräkningen or varenda reseräkningar.
Why does the verb granskas end in an 's' here?
The 's' indicates the passive voice, meaning the reports are being acted upon rather than doing the reviewing themselves. Because it follows the modal verb måste, the main verb needs to be in its infinitive form. We take the active infinitive granska (to review) and add an 's' to make the passive infinitive granskas (to be reviewed).
How does the compound noun reseräkning break down?
It is a compound built from resa (travel or trip) and räkning (bill, calculation, or count). In professional contexts, this combination specifically means a travel expense report or travel claim.
What is the function of av in this sentence?
In Swedish passive sentences, av translates to 'by' and introduces the agent, which is the person or entity actually doing the action. Here, it tells us that the reviewing is done 'by the audit' (av revisionen).
