"De har flera fåglar."

Translation: They have several birds.

[miniiyer]

Why is answer they have many birds wrong

I don't know if you've read other posts about the difference between "many" and "some", there is plenty. Many and several may seem the same, but actually have completely different Swedish words, "many" is "manga" and several is "flera".“Several” is used to mean more than “some” but less than “many.” The dictionary says it means more than a few but not a great number.

This is indeed the reason we separate them. :)

[JackBond]

From what I've read, in English, technically "several" is between "some", and "many". Though I tend to think of them synonymously.

Is the "De" always pronounced as "Dom", or am I just hearing things?

[SeptimusBones]

Yea, the voice does that. What I was taught in school (Finland) was that "de" is the official/formal form and "dom" is a colloquial/informal form. Mixing the written and the spoken is what threw me off early on in this course but I got used to it.

[Lars200]

Septimus is right. Moreover, in Finland "de" is pronounced as "di".

[Karin395619]

I hear dom, too. or the French "de"

[qixyl]

How to pronounce the "De har" together? As 'domor' or 'domar'? If to listen it separately I hear 'dom' and 'hor'. How to distinguish 'har' from 'är' in such sentences?

[Karin395619]

how is de pronounced. it sounds , like the French de on the computer

[devalanteriel]

dom is by far the most common pronunciation.

[Molly840614]

They should mark it right if write several instead of many because does anyone actually use them correctly. Maybe they could say its right but add in it means many.(like a typo)

[devalanteriel]

Not quite sure I follow. Only "several" is accepted here, since that's the correct translation. The course does not accept "many" for flera unless there's an error in the list of translations.
