"Ο αγρότης έχει δύο αγελάδες στη φάρμα."

Translation: The farmer has two cows on the farm.

[HellasCad]

Why not "in the farm"?

[jaye16]

The preposition, in this case, is "on".

Ευχαριστώ

[jaye16]

Παρακαλώ :)

[Mandorim]

I understand that the correct preposition is "on", but maybe "in" could be marked as a typo rather than an error.

[helmad]

at the farm? probably less idiomatic.

[jaye16]

I would only say "...on the farm". "at" sounds temporary but "on the farm" includes the cows in the whole running of the farm.

[helmad]

Thanks! Here's where my non-native English leaves me grasping.. Umm -Perhaps nice for the non-native English speakers to include it as a less-desirable alternative? (Clearly I'm a desperate, grade-grubbing student:-))

[Plakakaneis]

At seems fine

[jaye16]

Might be a BE -AE thing. In the US we'd say..."on" the farm if it referred to a steady place of residence.

"In the US...."? I thought you were from Europe. :-)

[jaye16]

Now, that's a difficult one. I was born and raised in the US (mostly NYC) but I have lived 3/4 of my life abroad (mostly in Greece).

Makes you wonder how old I am. ;)

[uoLL8]

Not really. If you were European, I'd have a chance to say thank you, but in the United States... difficult. I can't travel by plane. Write me.

[jaye16]

Your progress in English and your comments are all the thanks needed.

Wishing you well.

What is different "στη" and "στην"?
