"Elefanten leger omkring midnat."

Translation: The elephant plays around midnight.

I would never have imagined an elephant pulling off a Miles Davis!

Thelonious Monk, to be more precise. Den elefant er en kølig kat.

How odd that it sometimes shrugs off a true language error, like "et" for "en," as a typographical error, yet hear, an actual typographical error, "elefant" for "elephant," is considered a mistranslation. Nothing wrong with counting it off, since it is misspelled. Actually, I think I should not have been excused some of the earlier "typos."

Elefanten er Thelonious Monk.

I can't decide myself which one is the funniest: either the proposed sentence or the commentaries from users!!

[LucBE]

Shouldn't it be 'Elefanten spiller Omkring Midnat' ? :-)

[Indra927477]

If they play chess or soccer- it should. Here it is meant that they just have fun- play without rules.

Depends:
If he is just playing in the mud or doing something similar, it's leger (in short it's unorganized playing).

If he is playing a board game, video game or anything similar, it's spiller (in short it's organized playing).

Hope this helps.

this is some Twin Peaks stuff right there...

Should 'the elephant plays about midnight' not have been correct? :S
