"The cook cooks."

Translation: Kokken laver mad.

[hoyastang]

Kokken laver was also rejected.

[MahoganyBean]

Why is it Kokken laver mad? Doesn't that translate to the cook cooks food and not the cook cooks?

[Xneb]

"At lave mad" literally translates to "to make food" as there isn't a commonly used single word that means "to cook".

What! "Kokken kokkerere" rejected. http://ordnet.dk/ddo/ordbog?query=kokkerere

[GiulioMalventi]

kokkerere is the infinitive

[epac-mcl]

Ah! I missed out the "r". Should be "kokkererer", of course.

[mackelpr]

The hint "kokke" comes up for cook (the verb), but it is not accepted. Why is that?

[epac-mcl]

The verb is "Kokkerere", and if you want to use this verb, it would be: " Kokken kokkererer".

"Kokke" comes up for the verb because to make it present tense for the third person singular you add an "-s" onto the infinitive. This also happens to be the plural form of the noun "cook" in English which in Danish is "kokke".

Can I use "Kokken kokke?"
