"Why do you use all three sinks for the same?"

Translation: Hvorfor bruger du alle tre vaske til det samme?

[Alialexs]

For the same what? This doesn't make sense on its own.

[epac-mcl]

No, not literally, but in this context, "til det samme" means "for the same purpose".

[gregbyron]

Then it should say that so we're able to translate it. As it is, the English sentence is unnatural.

[epac-mcl]

I totally agree, but the original question was in Danish to English (in an earlier lesson). In other words, the Danish version is correct, but the English translation is incomplete.

[komati]

Incomplete is generous, this doesn't mean anything at all in English. How are we supposed to translate it to Danish?

[Peter68738]

Another example of closeness with German. det same translates to das Gleiche, if not quite so smooth in English...

[milbern]

Bad Danglish! It would be nice if one of the languages made sense but at this stage I realise that Duolingo does not feel the same (maybe that's the same that all three sinks are used for).
