"Får får lamm."

Translation: Sheep get lambs.

[Lessness_V]

That's part of a tongue twister.

"Far, får får får?"
"Nej, får får inte får, får får lamm."

"Father, do sheep get sheep?"
"No, sheep do not get sheep, sheep get lambs."

[howanjeremyleung]

Ask your grandpa for an even longer twister - Farfar, får får får?

[rwhodges]

In case it's not clear from this exercise: it's idiomatic in Swedish to say that you get (få) a baby, where in English we say that you have a baby (when it is born).

Ohhhhh. thanks

[mandydax]

Sheep beget lambs. (That'll be my mnemonic.)

[HerMyKneeGinger]

Nope. Rams beget lambs, sheep may conceive lambs.

[Vithralas]

Ah, OK, it's that, now it makes sense, I was wondering about the meaning of this sentence, hahahahahaha. Thank you so much, I didn't think about having it because it's born :D

Best sentence on duolingo so FAR

[devalanteriel]

so får*

[kfdurham]

In English we might also use the word "beget."

[DuncanHill0]

In rather old fashioned English, a man would get a child upon a woman, meaning make her pregnant.

[jerrethMobil]

Ok so are the pronounced different... Cause to me it sounds the same

[CapdeBurro]

They're pronounced the same

[SKlassen1]

If "Do sheep beget sheep" is an acceptable translation of, "Får får får?", Why isn't "Sheep beget lambs" an acceptable translation here?

[devalanteriel]

Can't believe that was missing... thanks, added it now!

[ReddySrikar]

I know it is a tongue twister. But can somebody explain the context behind using lamm in this sentence? Sheeps gets lamb doesn't make a lot of sense in English. Tack.

[devalanteriel]

Swedish uses få for offspring. People "get" babies as well.

[JimNolt]

English is my language, and while "She is having a baby" makes sense to me, I don't like the past tense "She had her baby two weeks ago." It sounds like she no longer has it.

[Vithralas]

Babies for sale, babies for sale, don't miss this offer, 2x1, pay 2, get only 1, hahaha

[CarloGamag1]

I'm confused: is it have (english) get or beget

[devalanteriel]

All of those work in English, although "have" is likely the best option and "beget" is second; "get" is less good and not even in use everywhere.
