I just have to say... the swedish duolingo lady pronounces things weirdly. Don't always trust her. Best regards, native swede. (I would btw love to help someone out w/ the language, just nessage me)
This is not only the swedish lady's problem, nearly all the text to speech robots on duolingo have their bugs. I usually check the suspective words on forvo.com. And thanks a lot for offering your help! :)
Yes and this is a good thing, as translating norrskeneT to northern lightS is just so confusing…
Actually, in my Midwestern US dialect, if I said, "we saw Mt. Rushmore" it would be more idiomatic than "we looked at Mt. Rushmore." However, in the present tense, the senses would be flipped. "We are looking at Mt. Rushmore" vs "we are seeing Mt. Rushmore." The second present tense example means more like visiting, and might actually imply that it's happening in the immediate future, rather than currently. I.e., presently.

How about, "We watched the northern lights"? Would it still be tittade på?
