"Du siehst, dass die Ärztin langsam ist."

Translation: You see that the doctor is slow.

"You see the doctor is slow" was marked incorrect

[UneJamKuqEZi]

Why is langsam before ist?

[az_p]

Using dass in this sentence creates a kind of "sub-sentence" where the word order follows different rules (dass is called a subordinating conjunction). Here's a lesson on it: http://www.bbc.co.uk/schools/gcsebitesize/german/grammar/conjunctionsrev2.shtml

"Du siehst, dass die Ärztin langsam isst" (You see that the doctor is eating slowly) sounds just the same

[Anie_is_okay]

"Die Ärztin" is plural, correct?

[FisherLiz]

No - it's feminine, singular - a woman doctor. English can't say that without the extra word.

Thank you! :)

Is my answer, "you see, that the doctor is boring" not technically correct? I think I remember my German professor telling me that "langsam" means boring when applied to a person. "Ich bin langsam" - I am bored. "Er ist langsam" - he is boring.

[Lenkvist]

Could it be that you are thinking of "langweilig"?

[WubbaDubDub]

Aah perhaps you are correct.

Is it acceptable for me to translate this as lady doctor?

[az_p]

No, it's not usually translated as that. Just "doctor" is fine, as that is the typical expression in English.

Thank you

[SusanMontauk]

What does slow mean in this case?

[Falcon_H]

Hurry up and heal your pocket Heavy, Doctor!

[Christian590500]

Why Not slowly. I am a German speaker

[SirhcNosse]

I'm not going to learn this unless i move to the fatherland.
