It is accepted now.

Neck and throat are the same? How would I distinguish between a crick in my neck and a sore throat?

[epac-mcl]

Ondt i halsen = sore throat. Ondt i nakken = sore neck, pain in the neck.

Thanks!

In another lesson, ondt i nakken was pain in the back of the neck, whereas halsen was the neck or the throat.

The Danish translation is an approximation of the English. In English, the back of the neck is called "the nape", the front is called "the throat" and the whole thing is called "the neck". In Danish one soes not say "ondt bagerst i nakken" but simply "ondt i nakken". I don't know why Duo gives the English translation as: "pain in the back of the neck". We don't say that in the UK.

I can't say 'is hurting'?
