"Fåren flyttas varje år."

Translation: The sheep are moved every year.

[chaered]

The rest of the year they just stand there, woolgathering.

[AnUnicorn]

Can't they move themselves? Lazy sheep!

[fergusincoronato]

"The sheep are moved every year."?

[Arnauti]

Is that a question? Maybe you're confused by the plural ending of får. It is ett får, fåret in singular and the plural is får (indeterminate) and fåren (determinate).

[Gexish]

I think what he wanted to ask was why it's "are" and not "is" in the translation. Anyway, "sheep" is a strange case just like "fish". It can be both singular or plural.

[CainXVII]

Yeah, but here we have a translation where you can see that it is plural

[jstoeltzing]

I belive flyttas implies a form of to be. In english are can be a form of to be.

[Arnauti]

Yes, flyttas is the passive – as in 'to be moved'.
The active form is flytta = move.

[mokane3562]

How would you say, "By who?". Is it "Vem av?"?

[Arnauti]

Av vem?

[bigswedeej]

How would i say ...were moved?

[sotnosen93]

"Flyttades".

[Tootje5]

Why is it not are being moved?
