"De kom ikke."

Translation: They did not come.

[pasdewit]

What about they didn't arrive

[mads-elh]

"They did not arrive" would be "de ankom ikke" :)

Thanks for your help

[Fleecyskis]

How do you know it is past tense. I thought it said "They are not coming"

[danishcleber]

kommer
kom...that is the difference

[Throo1]

In this case "kom" translated as "come" when i touch the word. Next lesson said that it is "came". So it is misstranslated ... they shoud give translate help as "did come" or came so i would know what they think about...

[deirdre_nyc]

They did give us a hint, though, by saying "ikke."

[Clarissa5413]

So, would "They came" be "De kom"?

[zeusttu]

I thought came was kam? Or am I wrong here?

[HastaLaVista83]

"came" is "kom". It would be "kam" in German and "kwam" in Dutch.

How about 'They came not' poetic English?
