"Ni har tallrikar."

Translation: You have plates.

[suzy.enigma]

Why tallrikar and not tallriker for plural? As it says in tips and notes -- "Words with stress on the final syllable always take -er"

[Arnauti]

Tallrik has the stress on the first syllable.

[sustained]

I was wondering exactly the same thing.

[Zach_Drella]

Does it matter if you use "Du" or "Ni" for "you"?

[Arnauti]

Du for one person and ni for several.

[LilianaCroft]

Bra, just like in portuguese! Now I understand the difference cuz I can relate it to Pt-Pt! Tack so mycket!

[AndreasK1709]

Is there also a formal/informal element to it like it is in several other languages?

[devalanteriel]

No, not really. Some think that distinction exists, but using it may actually offend others, so it's really recommended that you don't.

[SofiaTheWitch207]

That's actually good to know. I never understood the point of using plural anyways, it feels odd (I also have it like that in my language and find it a bit weird)

[PrincessJi1]

Yes, becuse ni is you plural and du is you singular

[suzy.enigma]

didn't know that, i thought is same . thanks

[iNTERS22]

Funny how tallrikar is similar to тарелки (pronounced "tarelki") in Russian, also meaning plates

[Oleg580424]

So апельсин for orange

[AndreasK1709]

It's an 'apple from china', hence the name

[deactivated user]

and why not "You have the plates" ?

[skalpadda]

Because "tallrikar" is indefinite. "You have the plates" would be "ni har tallrikarna".

[Ben855615]

Why that is translated as: "You have got plates." ? I answered "You have several plates" and it is not correct

[MarcinM85]

You have several plates is Du har flera tallrikar.

[.-Loche_Blohre-.]

Yes, I answered "You have plates". 'Got' seems more slang than 'have'. I would be fine with both answers though :)

[Arnauti]

Both are correct (and accepted answers).

[Elbiort777]

Can it also be "Du har tallrikar" ?

[luishadmag]

"Ni" is plural

[Robbadob]

Yes.

Du = you (singular)
Ni = you all (plural)

[Wilhelm415731]

The translation in the key (you have got plates) is confusing to me (as a native speaker). It could just as well be 'you have plates', right? (I see that the definite form is not used here in the original, so 'you have the plates' is incorrect, but the strange use of 'got' threw me)

[Arnauti]

The main English translation is You have plates. It's just that the machinery can show you any accepted answer – it tries to match your input to whatever is closest, but it doesn't always succeed that well.

[yxniiiii]

is "du" for singular and "ni" for plural ?

[Adrian53542]

Yes, and both are pronouns for the second person.

[nahuatl1939]

DUO gives me you GUYS have plates as an answer ????

[NathanHill16]

It's an accepted answer because Ni is plural. It also accepts Y'all have plates.

[Robbadob]

Ni can be translated into English a lot of ways, since there isn't really an official distinct plural you. It can be:
- you
- you guys
- you all
- y'all
- yous
- youse
- yinz
And probably a bunch more, depending on region.

[Emil451576]

Is y'all a correct equivalent to ni?

[VaclavKlic]

Anybody else can hear: nio tallrikar...?

[MikoajSuryn]

Yeah... and lost a heart to this :/

[eyke5]

I understood "nio tallrikar".

[eyke5]

I understood first: nio tallrikar.

[ReginaGrigorjeva]

I do not understand, where here are key to exercises. I mean where is all the grammar bedore lesson like in other languages? Why can't I see it or everyone else too?

[Ionut875]

Wrong because I forgot to add an l to tallrickar really
