"Min farbror åt med fienden."

Translation: My uncle ate with the enemy.

[Knoxienne]

Such a traitorous uncle! :)

[rachael.cr3]

Better than what I was imagining...I missed "med" and thought Uncle ate the enemy!

[dreforall]

I made the exact same mistake and went "what?!"

[ReddySrikar]

Wow! I did the same thing. With Duolingo I've come to expect funny sentences like these more oftenthan not.

[Yevlotta]

i was searching for this comment xD

[FairFolk]

Would be less traitorous though.

[ViolentRed]

Hope it was really tasty!

[Tan00]

I keep wondering who this mysterious enemy is...

[Zmrzlina]

Well, from a Swedish history perspective, the Danes are the safest bet.

[LetaEfterSverige]

Is there a more specific background to this sentence? (Like, is it from a tale or referring specific historical events?)

[devalanteriel]

No, nothing like that. It's just a random sentence.

[Earthwiz]

Or the Russians in more recent (1800s) times,

[km1]

Min farbror är spion. Berätta inte!

[Thorfinn1960]

Characteristically off-the-wall DuoLingo sentence. Love it!

[HerMyKneeGinger]

Perhaps he ate ants and his parents didn't like it.

[SteliosD9]

Is this sentence a Swedish saying ??

[devalanteriel]

No. :)
