"The uncle lives in the country."

Translation: Onklen bor i landet.

[daddyyak]

This sentence is ambiguous: '...in the country' could mean either in a rural area ("paa landet") or in a specific nation ("i landet").

[hitomivin]

Jeg synes også, det skal være "på landet"

[Mags894617]

i agree

[dmpetersen]

I also agree. Especially since, at least in the US, "he lives in the country" is always going to be interpreted as a general rural area. If you want to refer to a nation you'd either name that country or use a more specific article, such as "he lives in this country" or "he lives in your country".

What's the difference between 'bor' and 'leve'?

[tddk]

"bor" = where you live. "leve"= being alive.

Thank you :)

Why it called "i landet" it schould be "på landet"

[ozwordnerd]

I agree. He lives in the country. (rural)

[yosjp]

Siger man ikke altid "ude på landet"? Lige som "ude i badeværelset"???

[imcturk1]

It should be "Onklen bor på landet"
