"הן חולות ולכן הן יושבות במיטה."

Translation: They are sick and therefore they sit in bed.

[Hadassah277241]

Why do they sit? If they are sick, they should lie down!

[GilRonen1]

i wrote down: "they are sick and therefore they sit in the bed"
what is wrong with adding "the" before "bed"?

[InonCohen]

There is nothing wring with it and you shoud have reported it ..

[RobertEddy]

Sit in bed? A curious locution, indeed.

[gbauhr]

"on the bed" was rejected! Reported, but to what use I don't know.

[Theresa754142]

Thank you very much for reporting it, because it was accepted for me two years later.

[Scott822635]

This was spoken too fast.

[momoperl]

They are sitting

[ShaiGol]

In Hebrew patients are also referred to as חולים or חולות so the word should be accepted

[Theresa754142]

The words ‏חולות or ‏חולים are general words referring to sick people who may or may not be in the hospital, but the word patient means a person who is under medical care such as a physician. Therefore the meaning of your word is too restrictive...the sick person is not necessarily a patient.
