"De ringer mig om hon dör under natten."

Translation: They will call me if she dies during the night.

[legatrix]

Bit morbid, isn't it?

[SandraKosk]

Especially since the pronunciation is so garbled. She sounds drunk.

[MatthewHamill]

I said "if she dies in the night" which I would definitely say so I think that should be accepted

[BretCollin1]

Ditto. It's slightly more conversational but would be chosen by the majority of English speakers.

[mshort1803]

Exactly what I came here to say.

[porpsi]

exactly how i would say it too.

[mandydax]

I'm submitting it.

[Synthpopalooza]

Would this work: "They will call me if she dies overnight." Sometimes we say this too in English.

[Amelia21518]

That's a bit sad

[Asmanate]

is everyone at duo okay ?

[MissMuse]

How can we know this is future tense?

[Zmrzlina]

Swedish will sometimes use present tense for actions in the near future, in this case during the oncoming night.

[Viviane424351]

As in English. "I'll tell you when I'm done". Literally translating from French, I'm tempted to say "I'll tell you when I'll be done". But I learnt not to ^^

[purplelotus88]

Wow, all of the sentences are quite dark! This one, 'Vad tror prästen på?' 'Jag vill inte att du dör!' geez folks lighten up

[This.is.matt]

Why does it not accept the following: "they will ring me if she dies during the night" ring and call are the same in this context right?

[woa7dSD5]

Based on other DL discussions, it seems that sometimes, especially if it is specific to UK English (DL being mostly American English-based), a usage/variation has to be reported a fair amount before it's accepted. Go ahead and report it; maybe it will be added down the road.

[mick789]

I agree. In Britain 'ring' may well be used more often than 'call'.

[raginghulkbanner]

Could this one be taken out of the rotation? Please?

[alan26964]

I add my agreement also to the acceptance of "in the night".

[Alex39472]

Don’t worry, the ant and the spider will save her!

[SpuntotheRatBoy]

Or "they're calling me..." English, too, uses the present to express a future action occasionally, especially a conditional one; in this context i would explain it by saying that the situation wherein they may call is itself current, even though the call is in the future.

[Javier_Ig]

Is it correct to say "De ringer mig om hon dör i natt"?

[Rob396024]

This hits home hard

[Gnurfel]

(( kramar ))

[ruben855680]

Ring, ring why dont you give me a call

[justukyte]

This is a tongue twister

[MAAAAAAMAA]

Uhhh that was.... ok...

[Carolina567118]

Huh... Useful? Let's hope not...

[LongbowLady]

How is "They are ringing me if she dies in the night" wrong?

[Vitalii279305]

Sound engine here not made for long sentances like this one. Sound horrible.
