"They are expecting their fourth child."

Translation: Čekají čtvrté dítě.

[Kad759907]

Is it correct to translate the sentence without 'their'?? 'Čekají čtvrté dítě.'
Next task was to translate 'We buy our second horse' and 'Kupujeme druhy kone' was not correct, you need 'sveho'...

It is. I will check the horse sentence, maybe it needs adjusting.

I expected that there should be used the preposition "na" - "Čekají na čtvrté dítě". Why is it not there?

[VladaFu]

čekat na něco - to wait for something
čekat něco - to expect something

[Jaro488307]

a jak byste přeložili... they are expecting a fourth child...?

[VladaFu]

"They are expecting a fourth child." is accepted in the opposite direction.

Is the word "dítě" essential in the Czech? An English person would understand what is meant by "They are expecting a (or their) fourth". Thanks

[VladaFu]

If they have just been speaking about their other children, they can continue "Čekají čtvrté.". In other situations it may be too unclear.

But for this exercise it must be considered to be a different sentence. The original sentence contains child/dítě so the translation should contain it as well.
