"What is your ant's name?"

Translation: Vad heter din myra?

[acb]

This is a weird sentence; I can see people assuming that it's a misspelling of “aunt”.

[Arnauti]

This is sort of an internal joke, our team mentor is Myra.

[iamOwenG]

And you got me! I fell for it and wrote the Swedish for aunt! shakes fist

[heimaey]

Yeah I was going to report it as an error!

[Margaret278812]

None of the ants on my property have names. They are highly aggressive and are called jumping jacks. I would much prefer that they were " finns inte".

[BrunoCharb4]

You got me... my sweer bonus exp is gone :'( hahaha

[Chris361931]

That is exactly what happened

[dellabitzke]

I do in fact keep my pet ant very healthy.

[m3tzgore]

aaaaaaaaalmost got me! ;)

[belalablou]

I love sentences like these. I'll never forget the word myra any more. :D

[dcounts]

Some of these sentences are really amusing, but it's a good way to remember new words. It also shows some of the pitfalls in English.

[oldestguru]

I translated with "myra" with the intention of reporting it if it says I'm wrong, but it said I was correct :D

[Othmane_Chen]

I don't know what's funnier: The fact that I fell for it like an idiot or that there's a small chance that some swede actually pronounced this sentence seriously at some point.

[dercrios]

Even though "heter" might be the better Swedish, could you also write "Vad är ditt myras namn"?

[Citris9]

To add to that, why not make some suggestion for that word, because this is the first time I have seen it.

[devalanteriel]

Unfortunately, we can't really control how Duolingo chooses to introduce new words.

[devalanteriel]

din, yes. :)

[EmdadAhmed]

Nobody keeps ants as pets do they?

[Sarah21189]

Sure. Ever had an ant farm?

[Malk.A]

I though myra means an ant not a name

[devalanteriel]

Yes, and heter means to be named. English uses "what is x's name?" whereas Swedish uses vad heter x?

[just761]

Typo in aunt

[devalanteriel]

It's not a typo... "ant" is a word.
