"Låt dem inte vänta."

Translation: Do not let them wait.

[CrazyChao]

Can this also mean, "Do not make them wait,"?

[Arnauti]

Yes, that's also accepted.

[Super-Svensk]

The best translation for låta is "to let."

[jaiirapetjan]

It's just not a very common situation to even think about "letting somebody wait," because who wants to wait? So are you saying that Swedes also would more commonly say, Gör dem inte vänta?

[rwhodges]

I suspect the idiomatic English translation is "don't keep them waiting." (Which is marked correct by Duo.)

[Arnauti]

Yes, I agree that is the most idiomatic translation. And we don't say Gör dem inte vänta.

@CrazyChao
No, it cannot be used that way in Swedish (with the infinitive to mean 'make someone do something'). That would be like saying e.g. 'do someone speak' instead of 'make someone speak'.

få någon att göra något is 'make someone do something'. tvinga means 'force'.

[CrazyChao]

Can göra be used that way in Swedish? I've seen the expression make someone do something use the verb tvinga instead.

Why is Don't wrong and do not correct??????

[devalanteriel]

We definitely do accept both. If the rest of what you wrote was correct, there was a bug.
