"Mændene spiser ikke tallerknerne."

Translation: The men do not eat the plates.

[FinaLau]

I guess the writer of this lesson was starting to get bored by this point, the sentences are getting crazier ;P

[henrydwatson]

I think Team Danish had had a bit too much øl...

[satbirkira]

Gave some to their pets too

[Spartaboy]

Especially the ducks

[DanskPige_]

anden

[Regitze_Rille]

@henrydwatson, yes, maybe

[Lucas7040]

My brain attempted an auto-correct to "The men don't eat from the plates". I guess I should stop thinking logically from now on and just start drinking oil and eating newspaper.

[NF6FxQcs]

You can't eat the newspaper, the duck is reading it.

[GuruSweetPickle]

No, the duck is reading the chicken and a strawberry.

[samisgoodm8]

XD right!

[gcabildo]

I hope they do not eat the plates, maybe they are saving it for the women

[TNAxeMan]

The men could eat the plates in Pete's house of munch. (Family guy reference)

[DanskPige_]

Nah, we're good.

[Azure_Waters]

Thank goodness now we know! I was starting to get worried....

[_Lauren13_]

I wondered where the plates were going

[KaylaBear95]

I take it they are just preparing us for the Danish humor which is, complete random nonsense. xP

[Damianere]

Finally, something in Denmark is normal.

[.fake]

well yes, that would be a rather unpleasant event, indeed!

[bonnievsjonnie]

Makes sense really. Women dont eat plates either...

[DanskPige_]

Don't tell me what I do and don't eat. munches on plate

[RuthMaster1]

speak for yourself.

[Meytap]

Good for them :)

[sethvanpelt2003]

I got- The ducks are drinking beer????????????? WHAT???????????

[Humanokyeh]

Duolingo has my kind of humor

[zeusttu]

Tssk, so picky.

I'll just leave this here ;)

[sofiabricks]

Does tallerknerne here mean the dishes in a meal or is it classic Duolingo nonsense???

[johnarnold]

accepts: "The men do not eat the dishes" which is less humorous than not eating the plates.

[DanskPige_]

Not the plates! Here, take this bowl.

[Abu_Rakan]

tallerken = plate

en tallerken = a plate

tallerkenen = the plate

tallerkner = plates

tallerknerne = the plates

[Carl805310]

Isn't it supposed to be spelt tallerkEnerne?

[Daniel31415]

Oh... well, that's a surprise! :P

[SusanGranquist]

Isn't tallerknerne a mis-spelling? I have been searching online and every time I find it the plates (but usually the dishes) it's tallerkenerne. Example: Glas er i skabet ved siden af tallerkenerne. Vandglas er stablet så de er hurtige at sætte på, men vinglassene er jo lidt skrøbelige, så det er kun én i hver hånd.

[SantiAnnd]

Unless the plates are made of bread hehehe

[sunover]

I suppose they want to give the word "kartofler" but mistakenly give "tallerknerne" instead :DDD

[Tabyshabz]

Why would they anyway?

[TiffanyBel14]

I'd hope they don't like the plates!

[MMR_LM]

Wait, you're telling me I'm not supposed to eat the plate too?

[WewaPikachu]

Why not??? If the ducks drink wine...

[NF6FxQcs]

All things considered, I think I'd like to be reincarnated in a Danish duck...

[ArmanGeddon]

Does that mean women do eat tallerknerne?

[ilmolleggi]

good job!

[LiztheGrumpyFox]

Like, really? Don't you say!

[DanskPige_]

Best sentence yet. Better than "Kvinder spiser ikke kartofler."

[koshermal]

Can tallerken mean a plate of food, as it can in English? Or is this purely a silly sentence?

[AJHunter12]

Well I would hope not!

[MosaSaef1]

Yeah me too

[PeachyKeen75]

It's not useful for Duolingo to teach us nonsense...

[Noah238196]

Well yeah why would they

[George822727]

Not this time.......
