"A tiger is eating my husband."

Translation: En tiger spiser min mand.

[gregbyron]

I feel like this is the sort of sentence that should have an exclamation mark.

[SuzannaWaldorff]

Dyr æder , mennesker spiser

[LukasGroth]

So Danish makes a similar distinction as German... (for people: essen, for animals: fressen)

[Harpissima]

If the tiger is actually in the process of eating the husband, "er ved at spise" would illustrate the situation more precisely ...

[raconteur]

A past tense could save so much horror!

[MartinRiva444086]

Why not "mit mand"?

[DragonNights]

That's because "mand" is a common gender word and it takes the article "en".

[poul.morgan]

Could that be the same as being eaten by a cougar?

[DragonNights]

A cougar is called "en puma" in Danish.
