"There are many fun things in the bag."

Translation: In de tas zitten veel leuke dingetjes.

[beloeng]

What would be the correct sentence using er?

"Er zitten veel leuke dingetjes in de tas"?

"Er zijn veel leuke dingetjes in de tas"?

[DutchRafa]

both are acceptable, I'd say

[beloeng]

Thanks! :)

[Janet427540]

I agree but they are not accepted.
There seem to be several grammatical anomalies in this section

[jantje78222]

The second sentence sounds really weird to me, I would recommend using the first one only.

[joekeyjoe]

why not "er zijn vele grappige voorwerpen in de zak"?!?

[RigelKentian]

grappig = funny

[anothernobody]

Can anyone please tell me when to use "veel" and when to use "vele"?

[DutchRafa]

what about "in het tasje" or even "in het zakje"?...

[ion1122]

tas = bag
tasje = handbag
kleine tas = small bag
klein tasje = small handbag

zak = bag
zakje = small bag

Please correct me if I'm mistaken!

[Joe60087]

why would 'many fun things are in the bag' not be accepted?

[Sita224963]

Is there a reason that when I write "in de tas" it gets corrected to "in de tasje" and when I write "in de tasje" the next time, it gets corrected to "in de tas"???

[El2theK]

In that case you wrote in het tas, which will be corrected to tasje since it's de tas.

[ion1122]

in het tasje
in de tas

[Laure605988]

Kan "In de tas zitten _er veel leuke dingetjes"_ ook?

[jantje78222]

You can't add "er".

Rats. The student who noted the horror film connection is not here, so my second is orphaned. But yes, it's striking how this would fit so well in the mouth of Pennyworth. The more so because the diminutive is even sharper when we remember the children, not in this sentence but just offstage, from whom the diminutive floats into "dingetjes" here.
