"Twelve girls and fifteen boys are playing in the park."

Translation: Tolv flickor och femton pojkar leker i parken.

[Sjodni]

here it said that play was spelar and not leker....

[Arnauti]

Where? The english word "play" covers both "leker" and "spelar" in Swedish, but there's a difference in meaning.

[Arnauti]

I just wrote something about that here: https://www.duolingo.com/comment/5931721

[Yerrick]

I just got "spelar" and "leker" offered to me in Multiple Choice. I don't think I ever saw "spelar" before...

[Arnauti]

You're right, it won't show up until Sports, which is quite a way down from here. I'll try to fix the multiple choice issue.

[Solvind]

I had this multiple choice question, too.

[Arnauti]

Hm, I removed spelar as a 'best' translation a month ago, so it really shouldn't turn up in multiple choice questions (as a correct answer) any more :(

[MattBush2]

Arguably spelar should be allowed, as the context doesn't differentiate.

[MattBush2]

Perhaps if this was reworked to indicate what they were playing (fotboll, fiol) it would be more clear.

Why is tjejer and killar not accepted?

[Felicity581524]

I have written this exactly the same. Exactly the same....and yet it keeps saying I have it wrong. Anyone else get this too?

[brunamuoza]

Why tolv and not tolva if it is a plural?
