"Is Amerika groter dan Duitsland?"

Translation: Is America larger than Germany?

[aroacegirl]

Yes. America is, in fact, a bit bigger than Germany.

[Carl144]

Just a tad. Maybe a couple of football fields. Bigger, smaller potato, tomato. We dont want to offend anyone...so lets call it a draw.

[silverthornfire]

Dubious term America. If comparing countries, they should say USA. Otherwise America could refer to North, Central or South America.

[el-montunero]

Yes, in this particular example they were probably referring to the continent.

[BenjaminWa908957]

I answered yes. Wasn't correct

[Egezort]

You should have answered: "Ja."

[Rucho94]

The continent indeed is bigger.
And the country, Verenigde Staten, is also bigger. :)

[jcbos]

Verenigde "Steden" ? - I don't know a country called 'United Cities' :-P

[Rucho94]

Ops, my fault! Verenigde StATen! :) dank u!

Ok, I just picked greater to translate groter and it was counted as a mistake. Maybe the word isn‘t exactly the perfect fit, yet is given as one of the possible correct translations, until you actually use it... why?

[El2theK]

Because when you click on a word you get hints and hints are exactly that. It is up to you to formulate a correct sentence. Greater does not work in this context:

Similar when you click on dan the hints are: than, then, but. Only than is correct to use

[nyida]

Ja, maar slechts ongeveer de middelste

[Yurell]

Does 'Amerika' here refer to the continent(s) or to the United States of America?

[AdamNowek]

It is a big continent, after all.

[Rapoona]

What about "bigger"?

[LJ11Rennes]

That's the word I used, and it was accepted.
