If you have Windows, then you'll need to change your regular English keyboard layout to US international, which basically allows you to type all kinds of symbols by using simple key combinations.
Here's the link with all you need

yeah her tone got suddenly gloomy and I was like "whoa what happened lady?", and then I read

For me, I think so because I have taught vets and I know that you cannot always heal their pain. "What is family?" implied to me that the composition of families and what is recognized as a family has become more fluid. It is really interesting how differently the written word is perceived from person to person.
Wow, I didn't expect to find an old, barely unused Bulgarian word in the Swedish language course. It means the same thing - soldier. You never know what you are going to learn when you start studying a new language :)

In fact, it is the Russian word for soldier. The etymology is Italian soldato and Latin solidus. :)
Yep, and in German soldier means "Soldat" and "Soldaten" would mean soldiers
It's pretty much the same word in French (soldat). I need to be fact checked but I'm pretty sure the word comes from "salt" because soldiers were paid in salt during the Roman empire. In French it probably comes from "solde" which means salary because unlike knights or mercenaries, soldiers were paid regularly. Both hypothesis can be right, but again, I'm not sure.
The words are from the Latin solidus which was a coin made of solid metal, hence its name.

It's en soldat in the singular, soldaten is 'the soldier' and 'the soldiers' would be soldaterna.
Arnauti I genuinely hope you realise that there are currently 1,92 miljon människor that all owe you at least one beer! How will I know if I meet you? Can you wear a Duolingo hat in public?
When there is a hear-Swedish-and-type-it exercise, I periodically type in the English translation, instead of typing the Swedish. Often I type the exact translation as practiced in the lesson, and get it wrong because Duo wanted the Swedish, not the translation. Or at least most my words are in the translation. I think that would be pretty easy to detect. One simple algorithm could be to say that if over half of the person´s response words are in the suggested English translation, say to them "In Swedish please" and let them try again. That would be handy :-)

I pictured this as a soldier having a newborn baby and crying for joy.
Jag föreställde mig detta som en soldat som hade ett nyfött barn och grät av glädje.
Is this word originally from German? I know that word is in "Venn Die Soldaten" by Hermann Ludwig Blankenburg
Does anyone else hear "brater" instead of "grater"? Profound apologies if 'brater' means something hideously offensive in Swedish..but I really am hearing a B rather than a G here
