"Politibetjenter dukket opp på kontoret."

Translation: Police officers turned up at the office.

I've been corrupted to imagine this sentence as a bunch of police officers dancing and partying rather than appearing there. Thanks internet.

Would "showed up" be ok here as a translation?

[FLchick]

06/14/2018 Yes. I wrote "Cops showed up at the office." and it is accepted

[ojosabiertos]

I used police, rather than police officers... This is very natural English in my opinion, and means the same thing.

[kfcads]

I think "The police..." would be more natural - but this would not be a translation of what's written in Norwegian.

“Police” is generic. This sentence refers to specific officers.

[Dominik_Pietryga]

Why i cannot say Policeman?

[FLchick]

Because it is plural.

[rajcalay]

Is the "turned up" correct answer

[Greg22bg]

in my case no, and I don't understand why nobody answered that in 6 months!!!

[murphycj]

Is the "opp" necessary here?

[andreiten]

Yes.

I though only god appears. All lesser beings show up
