"Er der en måde at forhindre det?"

Translation: Is there a way to prevent it?

[BoogerEater101]

That's cool, I wonder if that is the root of the word hinder in English?

[SentientHuman]

I like forhindre for this reason, too. My dictionary says the English word hinder is of Germanic origin and traces it through middle and old English. I would guess that hinder and forhindre have a common, older root. I often feel like Danish sounds a bit like Shakespearean English.

"forhindre" = "verhindern" in German :-)

Is there a way of preventing it -- sounds more natural in English but it's not acceptable on duolingo

[solsticeFrench]

Er der en måde at forhindre det på? Har i ikke glemt : på ??

[arielkangaroo]

If you want to put the "på" there you could, but the sentence makes perfect sense without it.

Hvorfor kan man sige- "Er der en måde TIL at forbindre det?"
