"Vores søn er blandt dem."

Translation: Our son is among them.

How does "blandt" differ from "iblandt"?

[friswing]

Does anyone know if 'iblandt' is always 'among' or can it also be 'sometimes' ??

[Hedebygade]

It can mean 'sometimes' but we rarely use it in this way.

[friswing]

Okey, thank you! In Swedish it means both among and sometimes, so then it is a tricky 'false friend'

[DRaupe]

or maybe to put it different: Is there certain situations when to use blandt and when to use iblandt`?

[Cenlei]

I think iblandt is amongst and blandt is among

[friswing]

So, both are prepositions, what do you feel is the differens?

[Isaac_Luna_]

Did you know where English gets the word "blend" from? That's right; we get it from the Old Norse "blanda", meaning "to mix".

[AethelVoink]

I can't hear the "dem" part

[deactivated user]

Me either, but it appears to be said as 'm in this example.

[kiwitini]

Yes, I'd be interested to know whether that's a mistake, or how "dem" is actually pronounced in this context.

[BrunnoHC]

(James T. Wilson) "iblandt" = "I" ("in") + "Blandt" ("among"). Does it mean something? I hope it helped you...

[tidyas]

Can you translate "blandt" as "between" in this case (you know, between means something is framed by just two other things, while among means it is surrounded by more things) ?
