Could it also be "what is the name of that English ship"?

[Deliciae]

Yes, and it's now accepted.

[FMuLu1]

But "what is the name of that English boat" is not anymore...

[Deliciae]

skip = ship
båt = boat

[willr1ker]

At full speed I can't hear the "det" at all. Is that normal or is it a problem with the text to speech?

[Joey_mac]

There is a det there but its as it would be in normal speech its not quite a full t on the end. If it was dette you would hear the extra 'te' and 'de engelske skipene' or 'en engelsk skip' would sound totally different.

[Roland_M]

Even a hint of 'det' is definitely not audible at all. I listened several times. So perhaps check if there might be some sort of bug?

On the other hand, however, "Hva heter Engelske skipet" is as far as I know, not grammatically correct? So it must be "Hva heter DET Engelske skipet" , I guess even if the sentence is pronounced without DET. And I can imagine that in normal speech, the "det" might indeed become more or less inaudible.

[DiaconuVlad]

may be used also "what is called that english ship?" ?

[Deliciae]

That's not a very natural-sounding word order.

[Ghayth90]
