You're a worm that eats dead leaves, amid other creatures, as a gsoieoe that consumes snow, a qhqiopi that feeds on flower buds, and a reereore that thrives in sunlight.

But seeing / hearing årstid some other German word pops up in my mind..every time..can't help it :-) ( I think "kick in the butt" would be the English equivalent)

The pronunciations for häst and höst on forvo differ:
häst: https://sv.forvo.com/word/h%C3%A4st/
höst: https://sv.forvo.com/word/h%C3%B6st/
but I'm having difficulty picking up a difference between
hästen: https://sv.forvo.com/word/h%C3%A4sten/
hösten: https://sv.forvo.com/word/h%C3%B6sten/
the -ar and -arna forms for both sound differently to my ear, though.
"fall", though mostly used in the US today, actually comes from England and was once very common there as well. But either way, the course is aimed specifically at US English, with other major variations such as UK English also being accepted. Hence, "fall" is the default and "autumn" is also accepted. Please refer to the many other comments on this, as well as the FAQ: https://forum.duolingo.com/comment/20444477/FAQ-for-the-Swedish-course
