"Han har ofte på seg kvinneklær."

Translation: He often wears women's clothing.

In the words of Eddie Izzard "Theyre not womens clothes, theyre my clothes. I bought them,"

[noellica]

Exactly!! Love him!!!

[Candidandelion]

Now her.

[noellica]

Yes indeed

[Peregrineza]

And hangs around in bars

He wants to be a girlie just like his dear mama

What an unfortunate comment

[Candidandelion]

They are the lyrics to The Lumberjack Song by Monty Python: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pfRdur8GLBM

It is very old and possibly no longer in good taste.

[hanspersson]

Much of the point of Monty Python is not being in good taste.

[Candidandelion]

True, but this was 45 years ago and things change, thankfully.

He's a lumberjack and he's OK... (Y)

It's 2020 gendering clothes is silly

[Mark318377]

Life in 2020 is silly

[Dark_Beast97]

But it's convenient to call it women's and men's. I love men's clothes and don't care of its name. If I want men's t-shirt I can just go to a shop with men's clothing and I know that they have what I need. Convenient. That's all.

[Candidandelion]

Totally agree!

[GiacomoLamanuzzi]

The vikings were spent alot of time washing there hair and some even wore makeup, So who knows maybe its true!!!

[Igorasan]

These Norwegians... are such Norwegians.

[grafkee]

I love it how inclusive duolingo is!

[Candidandelion]

People can wear what the hell they like. Those who are clutching their pearls and twitching: get a grip.

[Deliciae]

But... the pearls go so well with their dresses. :)

(Easy on the profanity, please, or I'll just have to delete.)

[Candidandelion]

Sorry, Deliciae, I will try to be more circumspect.

[Umukhanov]

freddie mercury?

[Candidandelion]

Really?

[GeneralPavlova]

Micheal Scott!

"That's a European cut"

[RobT.N.B.M.]

This reminds me of the vocalist from Norwegian Black Metal band Maskinskog. Gunnar Høgstmyr, they are non-binary and like to wear both suits and dresses on stage.

[chrismountenay]

Ed Wood?

[WhassupNerds]

this sound like it's talking about a drag queen. if you're a drag queen reading this: you rock!

[Popokino]

And as a woman, I often love to wear men's clothing. <3

[Candidandelion]

And nobody questions it, do they? So why do some people have such a problem with men wearing "women's" clothing? :(

I often wear "men's" clothes. In fact, right now I am wearing a top that I bought in a "men's clothing" department. Nobody has batted an eyelid.

NB: I am not a man.

[Mark318377]

Jeg er tømmerhugger og det er ok

[RobertHarr347673]

The difference between a female impersonator and a drag queen is a liberal sprinkle of Fabulous lol

[BansRyokan]

What’s the difference between this and “han går ofte i kvinne klær”? I thought “har på seg” talked about wearing something in the present moment rather than generally wearing something

[Reba803718]

Inappropriate

[Candidandelion]

Why?

[hanspersson]

It's a bit old-fashioned to call some clothes "women's clothes" and others "men's clothes".

[BlueMountainDrum]

Åh Arnold Læne, gjør ikke det igjen

[Martin721840]

"he wears often...."
is considered wrong. I dont think that order of "wears" anb "often" is of high importance in this sentence. So maybe accept both answers?

[Candidandelion]

It is of importance in the English. You'd probably be understood if you said 'he wears often women's clothing' but it sounds very strange indeed and isn't really a good answer.

Thanks to the Norwegian moderators to let some fun discussion and banter happen. In some other languages I am learning they are excessively tight on the comments threads
