"Drengen spiser bjørnens æble."

Translation: The boy eats the bear's apple.

[Brendan_nadnerB]

Fortunately, the bear is probably too busy drinking beer to notice.

[MoietyMe]

Bjørnen spiser drengen.

[CScubing]

That got dark very quickly.

[violent_cop]

The boy was taught a very important life lesson.

[xKingConduitx]

now, if the boy was drinking the bears BEER, it would be a much messier story

[Geraldine1610]

...or too busy eating his honey (Winnie-the-Pooh) :D

[Kitsune_Cavalry]

...and then the bear ate the boy.

[DenPige]

With a beer :p

[Jackson449220]

In his hand

[marvincorea]

You're asking for trouble, boy.

[jackinaboxx]

First the children have the bear's meat and now this boy is eating the bear's apple .. I worry for my country's future generations.

[GrandApple]

In another skill it said the bear wasn't vegetarian...

[skullcap]

the bear was obviously luring the boy with the apple

[Charlotteis]

Surely meat eaters can still eat fruit? :)

[tvindy]

Bears are omnivorous, so they can eat both apples and boys.

[tu.8zPhLD72zzoZN]

Goldilock's brother?

[BasCostBudde]

Does the genitive make the apple definite? That is a linguistical question guys, don't get filosophical with me.

I could imagine eating some apple, not to be indicated more accurately, that belongs to a bear, and translated "the boy eats an apple of the bear". Is that valid?

[rjoostra]

I agree! The translation "the bear's apple" is i.m.h.o. synonymous with "THE apple, presently owned by THE of A bear" and not with "AN apple". What do y'all think?

[geometry667721]

Not a native speaker, but I agree. The "the bear's" points to one specific apple, apparently the only apple that is owned by the bear.

[boky84]

That is mighty brave from that 'soon to be dead' boy

[Tvashi]

Such a brave boy...

[prabhleen12]

The bear is now very upset that the boy eats his apple.

[Bulle949286]

I wrote "æbler" (and it was wrong). Does the singular "æble" can be distinguished from the plural "æbler" when one hears it?

[RyagonIV]

It can. Æble sounds more like /eble/, while æbler is closer to /ebla/. Try to compare them here and here.

[Bulle949286]

Got it. Thanks!

[Melissa.S.Cohen]

THANK YOU!! I had the same issue.

[IWannaLearn3]

Well that just sounds a dangerous thing to do.

[endercool11]

why would you!?
who would risk their life to grab an apple from a bear instead of buying one!?!

[Dreng6]

That's just a little risky if you ask me

[HuskyLilaRose]

Nah, the bear is too Drunk to even Notice. Let alone care.

[AdamC64]

Its a bold move Cotton lets see how it plays out

[SzymonRuci]

Drengen er død.

[Zora_of_Time]

Let us all take a moment of silence as we lay this boy to rest.

[hussgad]

Creeper

[o-chefe]

I just had another sentence about the apple being under the bear. That dreng has courage!

[Jay709846]

But, "bjørne er ikke vegetarer!"

[geometry667721]

So?

[HenriMiller1]

He had better run

[Srpskog]

Denmark has some interesting bears if their food are being stolen and they drink beer
