"Lærere er menn og kvinner."

Translation: Teachers are men and women.

[Tom642395]

My current teacher appears to be an owl...

[Lialiliput]

Then, 'teacher' would be 'lære' ?

[Richard842034]

(to learn = å lære) (teacher = lærer) (teachers = lærere)
(the teacher = læreren) (the teachers = lærerene)

[Jeannellen]

Can this be translated: Men and women are teachers. ?

[fveldig]

Yes, but you should preferably keep the word order.

[Jeannellen]

Takk!

[swamplandspider]

Except the ones that aren't.

[Xpucmo92]

Why we do not use THE teachers with definite form ?
Is this correct in this case ?

[Richard842034]

"teachers are . . . ." = all teachers (a general reference)

"the teachers are . . . ." = particular teachers (a specific reference)

Ex. Teachers (in general) are generally underpaid, but the teachers I know (specific ones) are still very dedicated to their jobs.

[Xpucmo92]

Thank you so much ! :)

[Richard842034]

"Gratitude" is nice, but "the gratitude" you've just shown me was especially meaningful. You're very welcome.

[Richard842034]

This gives new teacher orientation a whole new meaning.

[StellarHowl]

That's deep.

[ShivamSingh56958]

She pronounces 'og' as 'oo' but when I hear slowly she says 'og'. Any idea what's correct pronunciation?

[jhmelman]

Is there a distinction, as in English, between "teacher" (for school, courses) and "professor" (at Universities)?
