"Brandmän brukar träna."

Translation: Firefighters usually exercise.

[bakerjh]

Why does "train" not work here? I said, "Firemen usually train" and it was marked incorrect.

[GenevieveLaurin]

Yes, I was wondering about that too. What would be the appropriate word for "train" here?

[DonnaSchob]

Since "work out" is given as a definition of "träna", should it not be accepted as a correct answer?

[Arnauti]

It is. Firemen usually work out is one of the accepted answers with this expression in it. What did you put exactly?

[JavadMousa3]

M.r Arnauti why ..practice... does not work here instead of excercise

[DonnaSchob]

I think I put "Firemen usually work out" and the answer came back incorrect, but I could have made a typo or some other mistake.

[Arnauti]

Glitches in the machinery sometimes happen too, anyway you're right it's a correct answer. :)

[daadaadaaren]

why can i not say

firemen often exercise

[Zmrzlina]

"Brukar" implies an action done habitually, but not necessarily often.

[nphx2]

I'd say tend to is a viable translation of bruka in every sentence I've seen here.

[HelenCarlsson]

That would be "Brandmän tränar ofta".

[Peter147810]

to exercise = motionera, to train or practice = träna, a military drill = exercis
