"Kyllingen læser bogen."

Translation: The chicken is reading the book.

[hrabalu]

Well, they do say Scandinavia has excellent public education.

[Daniel31415]

Yes, that's why the chickens there are so smart! :P

[BigDaddyDenmark]

YESSS!

[TL---]

I hope the book isn't called "100 quick and easy chicken recipes".

[TobyBartels]

Hey, they have to understand how the enemy thinks.

[Chucklenuts7]

So the chicken could be reading Sun Tzu's Art of War?

[dv_2304]

Or 'Great Eggspectations' by Charles Chickens!

Edit: I just realised (yes, it took me 7 months) that we were talking about self-defence themed books here and not just any other random but eggscellent stories...

[V12_x87]

How to cockfight :)

[uq.]

HUMAN RECIPIES.

[tealfa]

Danish animals are evolving very fast...

[HatchedSylveon]

They will soon no longer require us

[ryannlangdale]

yes, soon they will take over the world!

[theminecrafthero]

sure pal sure but we all know its sloths

[Carlsonnw22]

I have the koala picture for everything except this. And I like how we're learning the same languages. Lol

[Jay709846]

Like the chickenottoman empire! xD

[Wilford_Brimley]

Why did the chicken read the book?

Because it had to study for the eggsams.
Eh? Eh? Ok ill see myself out.

[DerHardet]

Damn this pun came low,
but it came

[SarahEnder001]

This is beautiful. Just beautiful.

[PannasOwen]

[ThomEverso]

Yes!

[JaneilsonHD]

How does this?

[Mu13792]

Huh, so that's why it crossed the road!

[Timmy_The_Kid]

They've become sentient

[Isaac_Luna_]

They were always sentient. They've become intelligent.

[alexsteen]

i wish canadian chickens read books

[deactivated user]

why are danish animals so smart?

[WhimsicalRam]

Proper education!

[language_lover26]

Maybe its weather?

[Wizek]

"Ugle læser bogen."

[ThatOneKidJosh]

People call them wise for a reason.

[KathyKarch]

Which is hard to do, since they're nocturnal. They have to wait for a full moon and then binge read. ;)

[marself]

That chicken is not a common one, it is Darles Chickens, writer of 'The adventures of Oliver Twist'.

[SaturdayplaceTom]

Awwww

[MaryjkaB]

Genius sentence. Quite useful.

[xKingConduitx]

And they say chickens have small brains, What?!

[obelixo2014]

[sa7arMass]

I will never forget this sentence, and I respect very much the Danish chicken

[skywalker735]

:D

[BikiBB]

Chickens will rule the world (Remember Chicken Invaders game) :-D

[Janne_G_Pirinen]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicken_Invaders

[Idraote]

hearing the "N" sounds at the end of the words in this sentence is an act of faith

[Nicolezurawski]

that´s one clever chicken

[alessandrosola]

Animal farm

[TobyBartels]

The chickens never learn to read in that story. Which must make it a rather insulting book to them.

[GaiaPillow]

At least, doesn't drink beer like the duck!

[language_lover26]

Ya we don't need a drunken chicken

[TheRussianSwede]

Danish chickens...
Kycklingen läser boken.
Курица читат книгу.

[BeDbMaG]

I was like "Doesn't it mean chicken, hm, but chicken can't read, maybe I am wrong" NO I WASN'T

[bonbayel]

Actually, Kyllingen is a very popular host on a children's god nat program (sort of like Big Bird.) And he does read books to the kids.

[obelixo2014]

Finally, an explanation. :)
Thank you very much ;)

[Irusejka]

"Kylling" and "kyllingen" sound the same for me, as well as other words with the ending "-en".

[ibattousai]

they are reading about which came first chicken or an egg :P

[relativo.es]

Chicken's Soup for the Kylling soul

[Whitebeard9000]

I wish they tought us more about viking chickens

[AndrePeniche]

"Green eggs - for dummies"

[deactivated user]

that`s so fun

[xKingConduitx]

THE, chicken is reading THE, book

[aqueersocialist]

Well then.

[Raisinnoir]

AND, it also plays the piano!

[risktig]

Even the chickens read in Denmark

[MontReyher]

They say danish education is free and excellent, maybe they teach their chickens too, why not?

[james538335]

Must be big Bird

[mademoiselle-kt]

My chicken was Reading Shakespeare Yesterday.

[TyraLexine]

It was a little error when I spelled the word chiken instead of chicken.

[theminecrafthero]

XD

[Andrea324577]

They must be talking about Calimero!

[vargasjuk]

I want to be that chicken. I seldom read books, don't have enough time :(

[language_lover26]

That sucks! :'(

[deactivated user]

Hahaha thats funny

[Raisinnoir]

Is it a cook book?

[JRTheJAM]

You should go watch the Danish movie Men & Chicken (Mænd & Høns). Weird but enlightening!!

[Allison23215]

TO SERVE CHICKEN

[painforestcafe]

what were the creators of duolingo on

[Willdaverob]

A minute ago the duck was reading a book too...

[Dave865524]

I realize that a sentence can be factually untrue and grammatically correct, but bizarre sentences like this one always make me assume I've mistranslated something.

[KathyKarch]

I cannot for the life of me hear the -en at the end of kyllingen, even when listening on slow. sigh

[dannesys]

No, I agree, it's not there. I think either the speaker or the text is wrong.

[JosefXX]

Fear and Kylling by Kluckegaard

[Jay709846]

That is one smart chicken!

[Daniela197140]

There is an error, there is the option "reading" and not the correct one "reads"

[avacado1219]

i'm moving to denmark in two months and the only thing im gonna be able to say is 'the chicken is reading the book'

[SongxistoBR]

I want to this chicken!

[Alice900729]

I hope this only exists in cartoon..

[FraserGray5]

Thats better than what I can do:)

[Matt705]

My post was right and it was marked wrong!

[Blueberrypanq]

¿La gallina lee el libro? Que chingadoooos hahahha XD

[risktig]

That one is so good

[Hannah987078]

Lol hahaha

[ElliottMor18]

Wow smart bird I wonder if it realises it just took a crap on me

[Nyssa.Traken]

Is it wrong to say the chicken reads the book?

[JaneilsonHD]

No.

[prabhleen12]

Intelligent animals

[.saraaaaaa.]

It must be very interesting

[HannahJoel20]

Not only are Danish people smarter, but apparently so are their chickens.

[HeatherCoo999647]

Smart chicken !

[V12_x87]

He he he :D

[case02]

I finally figured it out! Danish sounds like a Scottish person. Everything ends in the "a" sound. No wonder nobody else in the Nordic Triangle gets them. By the way, are there any Scottish learners of Danish here?

[LucaDelvil]

And the elephant comments "you're reading the wrong books, pal! "

[Carrotsand2]

This may be probably the reason why I entered this

[Husain771640]

I was right Chickens will take over the world!!!!!!!!!! i knew it from day 1
They are so smart already.

[Anastasyah28]

Lol! I guess I have no more exuses to avoid reading books...

[ChiaStockwell]

Very talented chicken, that is.

[ollie446039]

This can't be right???

[Bultokki]

I like my chicken educated

[David57349]

Please fix the male pronunciation of kyllingen on fast speed. The -en is not at all audible

[JabariWhit6]

interesting

[poul.morgan]

A crossing the road guidebook maybe?
