"Polisen visar vägen."

Translation: The police officer shows the way.

[MesutS1]

Can "Polisen" also mean the entirety of police officers?
Like you would say in English and German "The police will fight the crime" which is not only one police officer... or would you have to use poliserna?

[Arnauti]

Yes, so you can't tell here whether it's one police officer or the force as a whole that is meant.

[MesutS1]

Tackar!

[bigswedeej]

Is this solely a giving of physical direction, or would it include showing a proper way of living?

[Arnauti]

It could be either.

[bigswedeej]

Tack

[shingaki]

Nej, det är Ugandan

[DehPuh]

base form of vägen?

[Lundgren8]

Väg (-en, -ar).

[Saari000]

Can this sentence be also translated as "The police officer leads the way"? Just curious.

[degrasseme]

yup

[JakeDarmanin]

Why is the v in 'visar' pronounced as an l? Or am I hearing it wrong?

[Zmrzlina]

That is wrong, it's a proper V.

[BampaBerry]

Street is marked wrong? Does vägen have a narrow meaning?

[Zmrzlina]

Väg = Road

Street = Gata

All streets are roads, but not all roads are streets.

[TamAgueci0]

I used "indicate" instead of show, I think it should be correct....to indicate the way

[degrasseme]

There are plenty of contexts where I'd translate "indicate" as "visar", but that sounds super weird to me to say "The police indicate the way."

[Nemomeori]

Isn't "The police show the way." incorrect? I had a typo in my answer, but Duolingo says this is correct.

[BUYT_]

I think if you refer to 'the police' as a group of people that would be fine.
Something like 'People show the way'

[Nemomeori]

Tack! Ha en lingot

[CedSgm7N]

So, if you were to say "Kan du visa mig vagen" .... would they know you are talking about giving directions, as opposed to asking where the 'road is ???
