"Flegistoj ofte portas blankajn uniformojn."

Translation: Nurses often wear white uniforms.

[Aderight27]

FALSE!!! Nurses almost never wear white. Doctors wear white. The nurses are always in blue, at least around here!!!!!!!

[Esperanta-kato]

But in russia it is true. They all and doctors and nurses wear white mostly.

[mansour.mahmoudi]

in Iran, too

[Majklo_Blic]

Which brings up an interesting question: How would Esperanto translate the term "candy striper", which is the term (in North America, at least) for a young nursing volunteer or intern, and which references their colorful uniforms?

[dhasenan]

En via lando, jes.

[HakonSoreide]

This is a language course, not the news. Sentences don't have to be semantically true or not, just to teach us correct grammar.

[Andr16065]

yes, but the discussions about it -- are allowed and -- are very interesting.

just my two cents...

[randomlinguist]

Color of nurses' uniforms depends on the unit where I work. Navy, light blue, green, purple, fun cartoon patterned (if a pediatric unit), and yes, even white. But this is Duo, and I wouldn't expect the volunteers to account for every possibility.

Flegisto, fluganta la flago ((( WTF!!! )))))
