"Calls cost five öre a minute."

Translation: Samtal kostar fem öre i minuten.

[Matt92HUN]

Isn't the plural of samtal samtalar?

[HelenCarlsson]

No, it is
ett samtal - flera samtal

However, there is a verb "att samtala" where present tense is "samtalar" :).

[Matt92HUN]

Thanks. Maybe the verb is the reason it doesn't have a proper plural form.

[HelenCarlsson]

No, it's the normal plural of an ett-word where last letter is a consonant :).
ett hus - flera hus
ett träd - flera träd

[Matt92HUN]

Oh, I didn't know that, thanks.

Att ringa kostar fem öre i minuten... Jag skrev det. Är svensk.

[HelenCarlsson]

att ringa = to call

Tänk på att alla tillåtna meningar måste läggas till explicit och hur många det skulle bli om man tillät fria översättningar :)!

[andre.he]

absolut. Tänkte bara ge feedback pa kursen om jag sag nagot :)

[Zmrzlina]

Men... varför övar du svenska då? :p

[km1]

Han övar kanske översättning?

[DonaldKidd]

How about "fem öre en minut"? Is that not also a possibility?

[Arnauti]

Nope, doesn't work. It's fem öre i minuten or fem öre per minut.

Calls cost five cents a minute

[Wesley215285]

Calls cost five öre a minute. The english sentence is wrong, it shows öre instead of cents.

[GordonWalsh]

Seeing as the cost is 5/100 of a SEK per minute, not 5/100 of a USD (or some other currencies), it does feel wrong to call it a cent, even if it might be accepted. SEK 1 is a "krona" (or maybe "crown"?), not a "dollar", so why would SEK 1/100 be a "cent" instead of an "öre"?
