"I am a girl."

Translation: Jag är en flicka.

[kenziefawt]

I find the pronunciation of jag ar very difficult

[HelenCarlsson]

It seems to me that The Voice says "Ja e en flicka" and that is pretty much how I pronounce it as well: skip the "g" in "jag" and skip the "r" in "är" (to make it "ä" or "e").

[Ynngva]

Ja ! Jag är en flicka (with a "a" like a deep "o"). Hej flickor ! Hej pojkar !!!

[JessieBeeD]

How m many languages are you able to speak

[Leydorn]

In Europe five are a good choice, Spanish, most spoken international language, English, the most modern and simple, on IT and sciences, German, English being a German language, French and Italian, the 2 and 3 Latin languages.

[TheMalpaisLegate]

This is a good choice in many places

[B.D.R.]

"Jag är flicka" should be accepted. It is correct and it means exactly the same. It is even more idiomatic.

[Miles11529]

That would say, "I am girl" That is not correct

[deactivated user]

Agreed. I have seen it used in daily life here yet it is still rejected. Nice to see your post was 4 years ago so clearly not updated lol

[Biosfear]

I dont understand what i am supposed to do if i get it incorrect. I cant diamiss the error mesaage and i cant try again? It should let you dismiss the error and try again

[W00l31wool]

do the whole thing again! the lessons are very short, and it just reinforces everything

[nicholasmarkamos]

It usually will ask the same failed question again once more at the end of the test. If not, take heed of what it says is correct, and next time you do the maintainence test (weight icon) it will likely be included.

[diana.smh]

you can try again at the end of the lesson!

[michael419266]

I love this language, its easy to lean.

[Ireland30511]

Truee

[Milo116818]

wow you don't capitalize ONE letter... duo gets all angry

[Leydorn]

Jag är ett tjej isn't correct?

[Arnauti]

tjej is also an en word, so Jag är en tjej works.

[Leydorn]

Thanks and sorry for my mistake, as it's explained on the first page of Swedish language :-)

[B.D.R.]

"En" can be left out. "Jag är tjej" is correct too.

[Todd508195]

Jag är en flicka

[RalPeate]

why sometimes you use er and sometimes ar?

[devalanteriel]

• er = your (plural, as in y'all's)
• är = is/are
• ar = a hundred square metres

[DanTheRealDan]

Does Swedish have words for things like "non-binary" or "genderfluid"?

...asking for a friend lol

[LadySeabrooke]

"hen" is a general pronoun, i dont know about a term for enby or genderfluid

[devalanteriel]

And non-binary would be ickebinär. Swedish doesn't really have a good term for gender-fluid, but I've seen people use the English term instead.

[nuttela338769]

Jag

[Garbage772416]

Did you know that there is an another word for flicka. It is tjej. Exampel: Jag är en tjej

[JonBenjaminGSS]

[devalanteriel]

Thank you for letting us know.

[KimStrahlb]

hard to pronouce :p

[Jackie855931]

I can't figure out how to type the extra vowels.

[alan26964]

Why has my identity circle changed to dotted line?

[Aniela737180]

I have "tips" button in spanish and german course, but in swedish don't. Do anyone know why?

[devalanteriel]

The tips are unfortunately only available in the app for courses created by the Duolingo headquarters. The Swedish course is created by volunteers, so our lesson notes don't show up. You can access them here, though: https://duome.eu/tips/en/sv

[Aniela737180]

Thank you so much!

[Bertrand213302]

I don't know how to show the accents on my android phone.

[Leydorn]

Just press a for à, e for é, è or ê, i for î, u for ù :-)

[Jackie855931]

It still says "pay attention to accents ".
