"Vi hører med ørene på vores hoved."

Translation: We hear with the ears on our head.

[bronshojbob]

Not sure if this matters, but shouldn't there be agreement among the nouns? As in, "We hear with the ears on our heads."

[_Derek_]

Not when all of us voices have to share the same head.

[rkvance5]

You win.

[orfeocookie]

Number agreement is overrated. You wouldn't say "I hear with the ear on my head".

[dagummace]

Yes, but my head has more than one ear, as do multiple heads.

[orfeocookie]

That your head has more than one ear is exactly my point. EACH PERSON in the collective "we" has one head, but multiple ears. It's a perfectly sensible English sentence.

[rhhpk]

Just the one head?

[shanne11]

As opposed to those on our feet:)

Now it's hard for me to tell the difference between the sounds of ørene and øerne (with the TTS anyway)...

[Simon197659]

I wrote ørerne; DL said I’m wrong. But Den Danske Ordbog says that both ørene and ørerne are acceptable!

[Charlie551210]

"Ørerne" is the old "correct" spelling. "Ørene" has been accepted in the dictionary because it has been used frequently in daily use.
