      For washing dishes it's "diska" in Swedish, I think. For example: jag diskar tallrikarna.

          Different from wash. As in, you can clean your room.

              Thank you. I also put clean and it said it was incorrect.

                In this sentence Dina sounded as Gina!

                it sounds like vina when played slowly. Otherwise it sounds fine.

                  I had stockings wrong for strumpar. Is there a Swedish word for stockings distinguished from socks?

                    The difference isn't entirely clear-cut, but I get the feeling "stockings" would translate to "knästrumpor" or "strumpbyxor"

                      Why can't we use "era"?

                      If the difference between stockings and socks isn't clear cut why mark stocking wrong, especially if the "correct" word has not been taught so we can try to learn the difference?
