Questions & Answers about Vi ser bladet och stjälken överallt.
Does överallt change its form if we are talking about motion instead of a static location?
Unlike many spatial adverbs in Swedish that have a pair for location and destination (like här versus hit), överallt stays exactly the same whether it means everywhere in a fixed location or moving to everywhere.
Can we start the sentence with överallt to emphasize it?
Yes, but if you move överallt to the front, you must follow the V2 rule where the verb must be in the second position. The sentence would become Överallt ser vi bladet och stjälken, swapping the subject vi and the verb ser.
What is the difference between stjälken and other words for a plant stem?
stjälk is specifically used for the soft stalk or stem of a smaller plant, like a flower or a weed. If you were talking about a thicker, woody tree trunk, you would use the word stam.
