[AgustnSeja]

A woman 'is eating' or 'eats' an apple?

[Arnauti]

Yes, this Swedish sentence means both.

[MarcelLope709138]

Unfortunately doulingo stated as wrong when I used "eats"

[MarcelLope709138]

Oops, I think I might have any other error in line

[OtherLutris]

"A lady ..." wasnt accepted; would that be a notably different translation? I'm used to woman and lady being synonymous in English, with somewhat different nuances.

[Arnauti]

'lady' is generally accepted in the course wherever 'woman' is; I've added it here now.

I'm bored with apples

[IhGy2GN7]

I have written the exact correct sentence and am being rated as incorrect.Any thoughts as to why?

[Jasper723428]

So is 'ett' the equivalent of 'an' then

[tom910706]

I put eating because eats wasnt an option but it still says i was wrong

Hi guys

[VojtaD96]

How is the correct pronunciation of "ä"? Not sure, if its [a:] or [e:].

[Fabi620]

I'm not sure but I think it depends on the word and the intonation.

[Beatricend7]

A woman is eating an apple

Some problem with the backend code... Not detecting correct answers

[ph.2o6tSl]

Is there a difference between 'eats' and 'is eating' in Swedish? Because here earlier it said 'eats' and then 'is eating'. Does äter have two different meanings?
Someone help!

[AlexTiefling]

Those aren't really different meanings for most purposes. English has a distinction called aspect, distinguishing 'eats' (simple) from 'is eating' (continuous). Most other languages, including Swedish, don't do this.

[AnaBird2]

I really wish I could say the full sentance without getting my tongue in a twist

[Mango9j07]

How do you pronounce 'kvinna'??

[thomaswdz]
