"Hun har gaflen i skabet."

Translation: She has the fork in the cabinet.

[JoshuaDelCarmen]

"skabet" sounds like "skablet"

[ArtBurnap]

Final d, and sometimes final t, or d between vowels, sound very much like L, at least to us non-native speakers. More technically, the final d and t are unreleased and lateralized. The tip of the tongue touches pretty much the same spot for t, d, and L, and if the sides of the tongue are relaxed a bit, it will sound like an L.

She has got the fork in the cupboard. Is not good English.

[RyagonIV]

Why not? Don't like "have got"? It's perfectly fine.

[Pleijaden94]

I think she must be -- Under the Sea.

[AlexFrauss]

What kind of cabinet are they talking about?

[RyagonIV]

Skab is a collective term for any larger-sized pieces of furniture that often have multiple compartments and doors and/or drawers that open to the front side. Fitting English translations are "wardrobe", "cupboard", "cabinet", and maybe "closet", depending on how generous you are with the definition.

Here it's most likely a cupboard.

[FionaOnDuoL]

So, the only fork in the house is kept in the cabinet? What kind of festival would be so special that "The Fork" is used?

[Mare175129]

It must be the special, long, three-pronged meat fork, but why isn't it kept in the drawer?

[bararoom]

Also her Moet et Chandon.

MURDER!

[YvonneJanssen]

it was the girl with the fork in the cabinet!

[manyana-man]

So it's: en gaffel / gaflen. And not gaffelen? I've not seen a singular indefinite remove a letter to form the singular definite. I've only seen this in exceptions when it becomes plural, i.e. en kartoffel / kartofler.
