"I do not eat turtles."

Translation: Jag äter inte sköldpaddor.

But apparently, later in the course we find out that we eat ants, much to our parents' disapproval lol

[CaptainSti]

Have you ever had chocolate covered ants? They're delicious!

[InvincibleCat]

They are delicious

Sköldpaddorkött? Could you say this if you are on a survival trip?

[Zmrzlina]

You'd say "sköldpaddskött".

And considering it's just a matter of culture which animals are considered food and which ones aren't, yes.

[subtopewds28]

who would eat poor little turtles?

[moses989113]

Is this a swedish thing or is dualingo a wierdo

[canamutoni]

I thought "turtles" in Swedish was "skoldpaddorna"? Do I use that in different context?

[Harold344498]

That would translate as 'the turtles', I suppose.

[BusyBeeMcGee]

I hope not??

[Maurice99se]

Why sköldpaddor not sköldpadder?

[Zoie184548]

How is sköldpaddor pronounced??? I gave no idea!!!!!!!!

[dronir]

It's three syllables, sköld-pad-dor. The first one is kinda like English "shield" (in fact it really means "shield"; a turtle is a shield-toad in Swedish) but with a different vowel sound; like the i in bird. The two other syllables are maybe more straightforward.

[InvincibleCat]

I hope they don't

[mladen872638]

Me neither!

[ZengShao-M]
