"Bladet på en kniv er farlig."

Translation: The blade on a knife is dangerous.

[Ondtogviltonsket]

Bladet means concomitantly the leaf and the blade or have I missed any thing ?

[Deliciae]

That's correct.

[DiniDiniDini]

And also "the magazine"?

[Deliciae]

Indeed. :)

[Taek8]

does this mean 'the blade "of" a knife is dangerous'?

[Deliciae]

Yes.

[langjd]

Why is everything in this lecture dangerous?

[Luke_5.1991]

Nature is dangerous!

[LilTweetingBird]

Could one say "et blad av gress" for "a blade of grass," perhaps?

[Deliciae]

You would say "et gresstrå" (a straw of grass).

[LilTweetingBird]

Tusen takk!
I didn't see your answer until just now because DuoLingo hasn't been giving me notifications when someone replies to me.

I've heard the 'd' pronounced in the definite form, although I know it's usually silent when indefinite. Is it more common to hear it in the definite? It's hard to tell whether the robotic voice gets the pronunciation right in most circumstances.

[MarkBennett6]

If you add a syllable to the end of a word where the consonant was silent, that consonant gets its sound back.

[StephenE181]

The "blade of a knife" sounds fat better. This is just literal translation of a Norwegian phrase that sounds very odd in English.

I‘m not sure how the timing is set on this speaking exercise but in this instance the exercise timed out before I even had a chance to utter a sound.
