"Barnens hundar"

Translation: The children's dogs

[Deleinee]

How is one to distinguish in this sentence if it is child or children?

[mannekaeng]

Barnets - The child's

Barnens - The children's

[TodemuDan]

Tack så mycket!

Barnets hundar. = The child's dogs.

Barnens hundar. = The children's dogs.

Why barneNs? Isn't "barn" an ett-word?

[nailtrail]

Barn is indeed an ett word, and therefore 'the child' is barnet. Also, since it ends in a consonant, the plural is also barn and the plural definite is barnen.

Is it grammatically sound to say 'barns hundar' to refer to "children's dogs"?

[devalanteriel]

Yes, in the indefinite.

Omg maybe it is me... But I find this chapter in the course very tough... So, many new words... New ways to say sentences... The toughest chapter yet... Any one else feels this way?

[JordanFamily3]

I answered "The child's dogs." and it was counted wrong. The correct answer given was "The kids' dogs."

[SixthSea]

Barnets is the child's, barnens is the children's

No sound

It's working for me, so hopefully that's just a temporary hiccup.
