"Landet ønsker sig en forening."

Translation: The country wishes for a union.

[Martinsspiegel]

Does forening mean a labor union or a political union?

[Hedebygade]

"Landet ønsker en forening" could have been used to describe west, or east germany until 1990.

[Nickelbacker]

It would not be the correct word to use to describe something political with :)

[LucBE]

Ægteskabbet er foreningen af to personer. Can it be used like that?

[GiuliaVatt]

Why "an union" is not accepted?

[bararoom]

Becuse it is not proper English. "An" is used in front of the words that start with a vowel PHONETICALLY. An hour, an apple. While "union" phonetically starts with a consonant j [ˈjuːnjən]. So it is always "a union".

Thanks, I didn't know that, and I am English!

[GiuliaVatt]

Thank you so much. So much to learn, still.

[idemoudansku]

I only mind not accepting it because I've made much bigger mistakes that were accepted. And this only shows my lack of english knowledge, not danish

[bararoom]

You are welcome. And, well, there will always be :)

[alyssassam]

thanks

It seems to me that it might have worked with 'landene ønsker sig en forening.' Otherwise, union is 'fagforening.' And 'forening' is club or organization.

[KyleJDahl]

Personal union with Schleswig-Holstein?

[TanushaDemishova]

Er hun medlem af en forening? - is she member of a club?

[runtucana]

Union not Unicorn.....

[Lucia990165]

Is the word "for" necessary? Can't it be "The country wishes a union"?

[Jane531211]

You can't do without the 'for'. You could do without the an, but you'll be marked wrong.

Å nej, inte igen...
