"Det är inte officiellt."

Translation: It is not official.

[victorvican]

It is 'officiellt' because it is referring to 'det', right?

[Lundgren8]

Yes, they have to agree.

[Jb11131999]

It says in the notes that the -t is for ett words... why does "det" (it) get the -t ending as well?

[Lundgren8]

Because det is the ett-word version of den, so to speak.

[dcounts]

Ah. Now it makes sense. Tack.

[OpenVMS]

Can I say "Den är inte officiell"?

[sotnosen93]

Only if you're referring to a specific en-word, like for example "Titeln är påhittad. Den är inte officiell." ("The title is made up. It is not official.") Only "det" can be used as a dummy subject.

[Allison23215]

Wouldn't allow unofficial, which I think is a valid translation.

[purplepurpur]

It is absolutely a correct translation, but not a literal one. This can be translated word for word into English and thus Duo does not allow any others.

[Beadurinc]

Minor quibble, but i accidentally spelt id instead of is and it still failed me for such a minor typo.

[antiParadoxism]

I got that aswell, broke my 3 win streak

[BlueMoose1]

In Swedish could you use this to describe a romantic relationship like we do in English?

[sotnosen93]

Native speaker here: It's not the first meaning that comes to mind, but I would say you can.

[MariaDeLau]

how is "officially"?

[Berniebud]

"Officiellt"

[g.uh]

Officiellt is the ett form?

[forrestdog2]

It's going along with "det".

[silvia208332]

why "this is not official" is wrong??
(I mean "this" instead of "that")

[sotnosen93]

That would be "Det här är inte officiellt." "Det" on its own can mean "that", but not "this".

[Debbie178207]

I did not hear the "T" pronounced at the end of officiell, but since it was a "det" word, I should know there will be a "t" at the end??? it is often difficult to hear the pronunciation completely
