- "Björnen tycker om vegetarian…
99 Comments
it's true ! Prey animals are generally plant eaters. Predators, eating other animals, don't taste as good due to the acidic system of flesh eaters. Plant eaters are naturally sweet. :-)
Having had lots of sentences about vegetarians eating or not eating things, I read this as 'the bear eats the vegetarian'
this sentence made me laugh too, probably more than the "myran tycker om spindeln" one… LMAO

LOL! I want more silly sentences like this one. Besides being hilarious, they actually embed the lesson more firmly in my brain.
Very true! The Duo developers are excellent already, but adding more humour really makes things stick.

Definitely! the sentence that will always stick with me from the Norwegian course is "Det sultet dyret spiser klærne til barnet mitt" (the hungry animal is eating my child's clothes).
'The bear likes the vegetarian' because vegetarianen äter inte kött which leaves more food for björnen! ;)
honom* but yes, I also like to think the bear liked the vegetarian to spare, not to eat.
The bear likes the vegetarian. But the cow... The cow LOVES the vegetarian!
Not so sure if the cow loves the vegetarian. Usually vegetarians consume more dairy which is a very cruel industry for cows, who's calves are taken away short after birth so that the cows milk can be used for human consumption.
This has to be the funniest sentence I've come across during learning Spanish and Swedish in the past 3 years...
They really need to make T-shirts of these. My favorite is "You drink the cat's milk"
Vegetarianen tycker om inte björnen?
Or
Vegetarianen tycker inte om björnen?

Björnen jagar vegetarianen runt ett träd; han spelar med sin mat. :-)
[The bear chases the vegetarian around a tree; he plays with his food.]
That's one reason not to be a vegetarian . . . you might end up a bear's lunch.
Im finding it difficult to remember the difference between the plural and definitive of a word. Is there a constant to it or do you just have to remember?? I might be completely missing the obvious so im sorry in advance

Have you looked in the tips for the lessons? They explain it, and it's pretty gosh darn easy to remember.
Because the vegetarian doesn't eat stuff like bear, unlike other Duolingo sentences
The one thing that stucked in my mind is How do you pronounce "R"? Keeping in mind that I'm a native russian man and almost fluent English. Is it rather like "Р" in "робот, рабочий, ракета" or rather line in "Rapture, relics, revenue"?
I think that was the implication here. Vegetarianen tycker om frukten. Björnen tycker om vegetarianen. :)

So if "tycker" is "think" and "om" is "about", but "tycker om" is like, how would one say "thinks about"?
tänker på, usually.
I would advise you to consider tycker om as a single verb that happens to consist of multiple parts. Swedish has many such phrasal verbs, and in many cases, their individual constituents do not correspond to the meaning of the full phrasal verb.
That is funny in german i would say: Der Bär hat Vegetarier zum fressen gerne. That is a german "Sprichwort".
Just that the bear likes the vegetarian. No hidden meanings. You can make your own interpretation. :)

Curious: Why? The vegetarians?
Shouldn't it be "the vegetables" in the sentence.
[Fun fact: Though it's known that the bears like honey and fish more than other types of food].
Thanks. 21/01/2021.
