    Good to hear, they must have added it since 5 months ago.

    How to tell if 'reklam' is singular or plural here?

      It says the correct translation is "It is just commercials on TV" which is fair enough, but it sounds quite odd in English, doesn't it? Pretty sure it's grammatically incorrect, too.

        Why is "there are" accepted instead of "it is"? Wouldn't it be "det finns"?

          "det finns" is more like a permanent state

            This is a weird sentence. It implies singular.
