"The cat is spinning."

Translation: Katten drejer rundt.

[rolandjaspers]

It feels like as if the English translation should be ' the cat is purring/purrs' then the Danish version would be 'katten spinder' . In this case the cat is making this characteristic humming sound when in relaxed state instead of physically moving around one point.

I don't think purring is it possible meaning here, is it? Turning makes sense and, I even thought of the German expression "spinnen", which suggests that "The cat is crazy" is another possible answer. But purring?

[annamere]

I just looked up purring online and it said 'spinde' or 'snurre' (like schnurren!), but I have to admit 'spinnen' in the German sense immediately sprang to my mind as well, because they really are crazy sometimes!

Is rundt needed in the absence of an object? I only ask because "han drejer flasken" was a previous solution.

• Drejer = turns
• Drejer rundt = turns around and also spinning.

Hope that clears it up :) As with anything else, though, people use the language slightly differently.
