"Det er ikke på grund af dig."

Translation: It is not because of you.

I feel like Duolingo is about to break up with me....

What's the difference between "grundet" and "på grund af" ?

[jackinaboxx]

Nothing in essence, both can be used, and "på grund af" is most often used. You most encounter "grundet" in official writing.

[aleapopea]

Danke!

the audio for this one sounds like a rap lyric.

[PJRandewijk]

Similar to Dutch / Afrikaans, "op grond van"

[LukasGroth]

And German "aufgrund (von)"

[Mathewgk]

... Just thinking aloud . Does the origin for this phrase come from on grounds of / on what grounds etc ?

[RyagonIV]

Yep. Meaning "on the basis/foundation of [reason]".

[MatthiasKDK]

Could you also say 'Det er ikke for dig'?

[etrlandex]

No. The sentence is correct, but implies something different.

[MatthiasKDK]

Okay, thank you!

[DtLim]

Fordi det er mig?

[dimitris74]

sounds like: "it is not on the grounds of your action"?

[edalgas]

Shouldn't "It is not on account of you" also be accepted?

Someone has been listening to Witchcraft

[Thomas0316]

Does she really have to talk this fast? Even the Danes around me don't talk like her, it's like she's on speed. Calm down, lady.

In case this helps you or others: You can listen to a slow audio using the turtle button.

What's wrong with "it's not your fault" ?

[DragonNights]

Because it is not the same sentence. "It is not your fault." would be "Det er ikke din fejl." in Danish.

[Mickal310607]

I would be fine with that answer if there weren't many instances where the sentence is translated into another sentence with equivalent meaning, but is not a literal, word by word translation.
Either the sentences need to be identical all the time, or it's the meaning that's important. Otherwise, how am I supposed to guess when I'm supposed to translate things literally or not?
