"Vi har katter och hundar."

Translation: We have cats and dogs.

[Namor_Votilav]

Is it similar to english "cats and dogs" for a rainy weather?

[Zmrzlina]

No.

[hpfan5]

Sweden has more snow than rain.. so their idioms I guess would be more about snow than rain

[ambl97]

Idioms usually don't translate between languages.

[Giovanni3_14]

Still having trouble with the pronunciation of "och". Some times I hear it with a silent -ch (sounds like "o"). And sometimes I hear the -ch pronounced. How do you know when to use each one?

[Zmrzlina]

Generally, the -ch part is silent in all but uses that are either heavily emphasized or standalone.

[Giovanni3_14]

That makes sense, thank you!

[hpfan5]

-en (the..) vs -ar (...s (plural))
katten = the cat, katter= cats
hunden = the dog, hundar = dogs

[Erwin-Dutch]

Thank you. But I don't understand why it is not kattar in stead of katter or hunder i stead of hundar.

[tyler-trickey]

Most people would know what you are talking about.

[hulkingindie]

I want a hund

[ezupo1]

I had assumed that We have cats and dogs meant we ate them and We have got cats and dogs meant we owned them, Can a native speaker give some explanation about this, thanks in advance!
