"Boken och katten"

Translation: The book and the cat

[Brijsven]

A lovely combination. ^.^

[FLchick]

Brij sven, Bell, Book and Candle is a better one.

[javakaffe]

We need something like "Katten läser boken".

[beagoodone]

och katten tycker om boken :)

[HuskyLilaRose]

Just like how Danish ducks read newspapers

[.julia._.weber.]

Yes!

[Sarah21189]

Or "katten äter boken"...

[Jennderful]

That would be amazing

[firebrand0135]

Quite possibly the most random sentence yet

[exqeriment]

Wait until you get The bear likes the vegitarian

[edkeed]

Spoilers!

[ClassiDuo]

Actually, that's not too random--on the whole, herbivores are probably tastier than carnivores.

You ain't seen nothing yet! ^.^
I could imagine saying this at a cozy cafe hurhur

[sasitore01]

You haven't probably seen the Dutch: "De sinaasappel spreekt" ("The orange is speakint")

[RLRTB]

The introvert's favourite

[Chrissy565080]

I am a librarian. This is the Swedish phrase that defines me. :)

[stephenbal4]

In English you can say "the book and cat", and it's understood that the "the" refers to both nouns. Can you do the same in Swedish with "boken och katt"?

[JoakimWenn]

No.

[superkitty789]

The book and the cat!

[ambl97]

It couldnt work out that 'car' was a typo? R is directly next to T on the keyboard -_-

[stephenbal4]

I think they have logic in there that counts any real word as a typo if it's not the correct word.

[Hajfenan]

Is it just me or does the B in Boken sound like a V?

[Robbadob]

Boken should be pronounced /ˈbuːkɛn/ (BOO-ken), with a b sound. I don't know what the TTS sounds like right now because I can't listen to it, but if it sounds wrong you can report it. [2019/05/08]

[devalanteriel]

Just confirming that the TTS is spot on in this case.

[Hajfenan]

Curious, when I play it over my loud speakers it is the expected B sound. Yet oddly when I plug in my headset it sounds exactly like a V. (Same browser and computer). I assume of course it must be the same sound file coming across so it must be something on my end. These two devices have different decoders I suspect so the difference must be there. It may be that the head set driver misses the first few milliseconds when the explosive part of the B is formed. This is actually a problem which is near and dear to me since my last name starts with a V and one must ALWAYS explain over the phone that it is V as in Victory or they will hear it as a B.

[CroChampion]

When are you ever going to say "The book and the cat." in real life?!

[Nantti]

Sounds like a name for a new swedish movie.
(An action thriller of course)

[Mari815773]

I'd sure be interested in the story behind this sentence :)

[sasitore01]

If you find that random, maybe you haven't yet seen, in the Dutch course: "Ik ben geen Banaan"
