"Bjørnen spiser ris med kniv og gaffel."

Translation: The bear eats rice with knife and fork.

[skullcap]

first they stole the man's wheel. now, they've developed thumbs. it's all over.

[landsend]

Who eats rice with knife and fork? That is one very strange bear.

[malloryraymond]

SOME of us are not coordinated enough to eat rice with anything BUT a fork. a knife is useless though. :P

[Xneb]

I'd use the knife to aid the rice onto my fork!

[dharvel74]

Don't forget they also run with scissors.

[zeusttu]

What's next? Are we gonna see two bears make bread?

[marvincorea]

The knife is necessary to ensure that one is able recover one's last grains of rice from one's plate lest one incorrectly use one's finger instead. All proper bears are aware of this.

[webgenie]

Wouldn't chopsticks work better? (Ville ikke spisepinde værke bedre?)

[-Zorua-]

Why is the Danish course so obsessed with bears? They take the man's wheel, they write novels, and now they use silverware. (Highly impractical silverware for eating rice, by the way.)

[PatrickDaSilva]

Probably because they can make funny sentences with them and because you need to practice the "ø" sound!

[LucBE]

And because half of the time you confuse them with 'børn'…

[McDeeh]

Yep! Same problem

[HoiheDacino]

Also, memorable

[Dim-ond-dysgwr]

I think it's because it's so easy to mix your bears up with your kids. I know I do it all the time, especially when either or both are behaving badly. As a precaution, I've memorized the sentence bjørne har spist børnene just in case I ever have to make that call to the emergency services in Denmark.

[ZeLingoMeister]

Shouldn't it be, "with A knife and fork"?

[alexandralanc]

Yea it doesn't make sense without the "a" in English

[Agent_Goodwrench]

I've heard it both ways, but including "a" feels more natural to me.

[Dim-ond-dysgwr]

It should, but since that answer is accepted (now, if it wasn't earlier) it's not a problem any more :)

[Radwinter]

Yes it should be, you just wouldn't say with knife and fork in English

[Ozymandias0]

This bear is more dexterous than I am.

[morven_27]

Danish bears sound scary in a whole new way...

[Silverhoof]

This must be the same bear who handed the beer to the cat :)

[KathleenAi2]

You would normally say "with 'a' knife and fork."

[elen.f.mia]

I struggled to put an answer as the "a/the" is missing (as in "with a/the knife and fork)

[Rich524475]

A native English speaker would say a knife and a fork not with knife and fork.

[bo1xdr]

the 'correct answer is wrong ...you would not say 'with knife and fork'. it must be 'with a knife and fork' or it doesn't make sense in english

[bo1xdr]

'a knife and fork' is correct

[KinanRabah]

This bear is skilled more than me and maybe speak danish better than me!

[webgenie]

I think they speak bjørnsk.

[Ali515832]

Why don't they just use a spoon it really bothers me for some reason

[RobertEddy]

why isn't the bear using chopsticks? and what are chopsticks called in Danish?

[webgenie]

Chopsticks are called "spisepinde" (Eating sticks. Makes more sense I suppose since one doesn't chop with them I guess>)

[LinhCao11]

Educated bear

[webgenie]

Selvfølgelig! En uddannelse er gratis i Danmark:)

[dreamloomer]

I really like this bear. It is surely my beloved character in this course.

[LeilaniAlo12]

Danish bears are revolutionary. Catch up foreign bears.

[V12_x87]

You have got to be kidding me.

[V12_x87]

Danish Duo loves bears way too much

[SantiAnnd]

Damn you bear why dont you use just a spoon like normal humans do

[sll-ttt]

I don't eat rice with knife and fork. I prefer to eat it with salt and pepper because the fork is hard to chew.

[FREDDCS73]

Smart bear.

[octavi.ers]

Like DharmaInitiative's Polar bears from "Lost" series!!!!!!!!!!!

[Yuemin6]

fairy tale haha

[ChrisSteve648506]

Very interesting.
I shall experiment.

[Paul927336]

It reminds me of the Finnish story of Arto Paasilinna

[JesseHanef]

I'm not sure how you can eat rice with a knife and fork, but I mean, he's got the spirit
