"You are girls."

Translation: Ni är flickor.

[ThatOneKidJosh]

Distinguish between "ni" and "du", please?

[KeesKiwi]

"Ni" is used for plural "you" while "du" is used for singular.

[ThatOneKidJosh]

Thanks!

[AshleyCall4]

Thanks!!

[Hanimatm3d]

"är" is always like "am" , "are" , "is"?

[Zmrzlina]

Yep. Swedish never ever conjugates verbs depending on who's acting.

[Hanimatm3d]

That's exciting! :D Thanks :)

[Hatch-Slack]

This is really motivating.

[sami600450]

yes thank you for telling me to know

[elibrim]

Yes, är is the present form of verb to be in swedish, in all pronouns you use är!
The plural of Flicka is flickor (indeterminate form) and flickorna (determinate form), but without s at the end.

[LeonidKiri]

Why is the translation of "girls" is "flickornas", but in the sentence is "flickornas" wrong?

[elibrim]

flickor is the plural in the indeterminate form and flickornas is the plural in the determinate form. I mean: flickor (girls) and flickorna (the girls)

[allvarliga]

I don't know why the translation is like that because "flickornas" means "the girls' ". If it was only "flickorna" it would mean "the girls".

[Stephen874691]

This looks like a deliberate "gotcha" until you figure out that flickor is plural and it must be to teach us non natives the fine distinction that Ni is for plural (flickor) and du would be for a single girl, flicka.
It still seems nasty rather than positive

[MennaShrif]

You wrote "girls" so here "you" is for plural which is "du" not "ni"

[JelteAchte]

Ni is plural and du singular

[JanieMuell]

Is it really necessary to confuse the issue of what is singular and what is plural? These are not stellar teaching methods.

[devalanteriel]

Pardon my ignorance, but what do you mean?
