"Sidan tolv."

Translation: Page twelve.

[Norravargen]

Why literal translation didn't work here? The page twelve.

[MarkBorkBorkBork]

If I were talking about the twelfth side of a die, would that also be sidan tolv?

[Arnauti]

No, that would be den tolfte sidan. (Yes, it's spelled with an f, it's weird but at least it's phonetically right.)

[MarkBorkBorkBork]

Okay, thanks! :)

Every time I have to pronounce "Sidan Tolv" it says I am wrong. This doesn't happen with any other spoken exercises. I've tried moving the microphone, speaking in different tones, slower/faster... it will NEVER say it is correct. My Swedish wife says I am pronouncing it "like a Swede"...

Why would "the page twelve" not be accepted?

[LubomrVrna]

I would like to know that too :(

[1feVychb]

I have tried saying this in every way possible and it always marks it wrong. I do not have any problems with the other oral exercises. Please fix it. Thank you!

Vända till sidan 394...

[JoakimEk]

In Swedish the instruction would usually be "slå upp sidan 394".

Duolingo is at least gentler than Snape... XD

Where can I hear the difference in the sound of words SIDAN and SEDAN?
