"Zij geloven de kinderen."

Translation: They believe the children.

Sucks for the church

I answered ¨They believe in the children¨ why is that not correct? They believe the children does not sound correct. It should be ¨They believe in the children ¨ or ¨They trust the children¨

[ReneeDubuc]

There is nothing in the Dutch sentence indicating the word "in". And besides, "They believe in the children" does not mean the same as "They believe the children." Think of the first as parents believing in their underdog children in a competition. Think of the second as parents believing their children when someone accuses them of lying.

Why not "They trust the children." ?

[xMerrie]

That would be 'Zij vertrouwen de kinderen.'.

thanks, I had the same question

[LaraQwerty]

I can't hear, how the man pronounces letter "n" at the end of the verb. Seems like he is not doing it. He says "gelove" insead of "geloveN".

[PauMorales4]

Is this sentence correct in English?

[DiegoPrista]

ik geloof de kinderen de toekomst zijn

[mgretzky]

"they believe the children" is pretty weird english. I guess, purely grammatically it is correct, but boy is this a weird sounding construct! Better replace this phrase with something that actually makes sense in English.

Why is this weird English? It sounds perfectly fine.
