"Advokaten bliver vasket af sin sekretær."

Translation: The lawyer is being washed by his secretary.

[PotatoSanta]

Is this a normal responsibility for secretaries in Denmark?

[Eric33sb]

Lawyer here. Afraid not.

[WernerRetief]

Is this another joke about lawyers?

[chaered]

It's a dirty business.

[niscate]

No, it's a running gag on Duo Danish lessons about washing your coworkers.

Believe me, after a week of corporate litigation, all you need is a sunny Saturday afternoon, a bucket of soapy water, a decent firm brush, and a garden hose. Otherwise, after a few weeks, they start to look pretty bad.

[VytasD]

wast the sekretær washed by the lawyer just a few exercises before ? :D

[PushythePirate1]

indeed!

[RobertEddy]

This is getting steamy!

[Patty13647]

What is the fixation on giving us useless sentences? Some of them give me the creeps.

[CelChaussette]

Wait, what?

[JE_Taylormade]

She must be well paid.

I've already come across a similar sentence, where the mayor washed the secretary and, according to some people, secretary meant a piece of furniture. But now, we have here the undeniable proof that it's about a man having a nice time at the office. Duolingo, your sentences are totally inappropriate! I'm really disappointed with you.

[wojo4hitz]

It could have been a female lawyer and male secretary! Or both male employees -- oooo la la!

[Patsy536249]

Well Duo s job is to keep me laughing LOL !!!

[Patsy536249]

I did

[BethKessel]

I guess this concludes whether or not the secretary was a desk a few lessons ago..

[Sue265294]

you have to laugh at some of these sentences

[Patsy536249]

Well Duo s job is to keep me laughing LOL!!!

[Sparkymark1982]

lol

[AnthonPete]

How about more sentences that make sense, it´s difficult enough to translate these sentences, why make them so absurd? Just asking

[zambozo]

You sir apparently do not have the life goal to be a lawyer and be washed by your secretary but respect those of us who need this phrase

[Guess18]

It's done on purpose so sentences strike your attention and your brain is more likely to retain them.
