"De har redan allting."

Translation: They already have everything.

I wrote "they have already everything" and it was flagged as wrong. Am i missing something ?

[JoelCameron-Piel]

That would be a direct translation but it doesn't really work in English. "They already have everything" is a much better English sentence to use.

And this would be the proper place to penalize the user in an English course...

[Anna791705]

But many of us are not native English speakers and I get punished for Eng mistakes when my target is to learn Swedish :(

[ClarkJensen21]

would it be wrong to say" De har allting redan"?

[devalanteriel]

No, that's fine. :)

I was just penalised for what I heard clearly as "Dem". Any chance this can be corrected either by accepting the correct spelling or changing the incorrect pronunciation?

[devalanteriel]

Dom is an accepted spelling and the correct pronunciation. (Dem is not - that's an entirely different word.) But there's a bug which doesn't allow us to accept both De and Dom in "type what you hear" exercises - it's been like that forever. :(

I had left a report on this exact problem, but now I see there isn't anything you guys can do about it. Thanks for the answers, though.

[devalanteriel]

I'm told that we can finally solve it in the next tree version at least, so I'm hopeful!

[TurboBrick]

Good to hear!
