"Sie gehen spazieren."

Translation: They are going for a walk.

[RobertHJMa]

'They go walking' should be accepted surely?

[Famolvfox]

still not accepted ;(

[rmewes]

Whats the difference between spazieren and laufen?

[big_jiggins]

I may very well be wrong, but i think laufen implies only the action of walking, while spazieren implies that the person is making it a planned activity/trip of it, if that makes any sense.

[mizinamo]

I'd say that spazieren gehen is "going for a walk" where the main point is the walking (in the fresh air, or to enjoy the scenery), rather than getting to a particular place.

Asked around on reddit, looks like you're right.

[KarinGrant]

Couldn't this mean "They go walking". It wasn't accepted.

[madjerT]

Should "They go strolling" be accepted?

[Artist-Engineer]

What about "they are going to take a stroll"?

[crispybacon4]

It could not be "she is" because that would require "geht" instead of "gehen". It could, however, be "you are" going, using the formal "you".

What is wrong with "they are going walking". It means EXACTLY the same in English. "I am going for a run" or 'I am going running" nothing different about both statements. So can someone please tell me why am I marked wrong?

The exercise I was given immediately before this one was "Sie spazieren", which was translated as "They are going for a walk".

Then I see this one, "Sie gehen spazieren", which is also translated as "They are going for a walk" -- what's the difference?

[Michael854889]

What is the difference between "Sie gehen spazieren" and "Sie Spazieren."

Is it the same in english? They are going walking, vs They are walking? Are the two sentences interchangable?

How about with other verbs like "Wir gehen schwimmen" vs "Wir schwimmen"?

Thank you in advance. <3

There's a similar word in Russian, "гулять", which basically means the same
