"The number of murders in the city has increased."

Translation: Antalet mord i staden har ökat.

Why does antalet and mord not have anything between them?? Wouldn't it be antalet i mord?

[alexbananas]

what does this have to do with business? :(

[-..--..-.-.-.-]

Bad for business :3

[Zmrzlina]

The word taught is the verb öka.

That would be up to Terry Pratchett.

@alexbananas it's the company that said they did not want competition...

[OpenVMS]

Why "Mord antalet i staden har ökat" doesn't work?

[SheilaMorris]

That would translate as "Murder the number in the city has grown",

[PhilipWhitaker]

What's the different between nummer and antal?

[dcl520863]

number - amount

[Chrisbilljohn]

Could you say Antalet mord har ökat in stan. ?

[PhilipWhitaker]

I'm not a native speaker, but personally I think that would change the emphasis - the number of murders has increased in the city implies to me that the number has gone down or stayed constant elsewhere. But that might just be me reading too much into it.
