"Mine børn er fantastiske."

Translation: My children are amazing.

[Drunk_Monk]

My children are fantastic???? Why use amazing when it is obvious the root of the danish word derives from the english equivalent fantastic...

[Jesheijden]

Or the english word is derived from the danish... Or they are borh derived from a common ancestor, much more likely.

[varkentje123]

Maybe so it's clear that it is simply an expression of admiration about them, and not (or at least not necessarily) a comment on how often they fantasise. I was wondering which of the two was meant, and 'amazing' being the default answer answers that question. :)

[Isaac_Luna_]

So "Awesome" is not equivalent to "Amazing"?

[SarahBurke5]

Awesome is english slang word.

[Helle384474]

They are superchildren,I mean.

As Bill Hicks said, your children are NOT special!

[SamCached]

One question calls for excellent as fantastisk, and this one marks it wrong

[Freddy824904]

Fantastic is not accepted... ❤❤❤❤ this shit

[KatherineMaas]

Why not awesome?

[Nvllivs]

Why isn't 'My children are great' correct?

[Amerikansken]

Because that is a separate word in Danish. I can't recall the correct equivalent though, I'm sorry.

[Freddy824904]

I will not have this shit... fantastisk is fantastic not great

[tlear0412]

A very un-Danish thing to say.......................

[Helle384474]

Uden-danskhed?

[carolcameron]

Typo in correction

[Jamesjohnso0901]

[Konstantin736085]

Hele forældre siger den samme ting når de snakker om deres børn :)
