"På hörnet"

Translation: On the corner

[DogePamyuPamyu]

Would this be like on the corner of a street or something?

[Hashmush]

Exactly!

[NevilleJam]

So this is for something on top of a table or shelf, for instance? And 'i hornet' for the corner of the room, etc?

[Hashmush]

"I hörnet" is indeed used for the corner of a room, while "på hörnet" is usually said to mean at/on the corner of a street.

Sounds very similar to English ^.^

[ChloKokx]

Yup ^!^

English Nursery Rhyme

Little Jack Horner
sat in the corner
eating his Christmas pie.
He put in his thumb
and pulled out a plum
and said 'What a good boy am I.'

This is exactly what helped me remember horn = corner

[ErixTheRed]

The audio is definitely pronouncing the "h" as a "k". That's not how the Swedes do it, right?

[Arnauti]

I hear it as a h sound.

[person222222]

I definitely see what he's saying that makes it sound like a "k" sound (the voice software trying to parse the two words together into a seamless sentence where an artifical space makes the next sound sound like a different one) but there's not much that can probably be done about that. Plus, it still sounds like mostly and h to me (and the others here) :p

[ErixTheRed]

Thank you. I also constantly hear "b" as "d"

[Hashmush]

I agree with @Arnauti, it's definitely a h.

[MarkBorkBorkBork]

It's certainly an H to my ears.

[kyle450849]

Glad it's not just me hearing the k

[MarksAaron]

I'm hearing it as an initial g-, but as was said below, it's an unfortunate artifact of the TTS process.

[OnsenMushr]

I heard a 'k' and indeed typed a 'k', and was marked as correct with no mention of the typo.

[Xo_oY]

How about "by the corner"?

[ChloKokx]

Vid hornet.

[fraumueller]

Here it sounds like a"p"

[Lynn461787]

sounds exactly like a 'v' to me

[jinguist]

I wrote "på harnet", because that's what I heard, and was marked correct. PLEASE can Duo start giving typo warnings on listening exercises?! Thanks

[JYH6UtXB]

Yah, jinguist, I usually keep google translate open on my desktop so that I can check spelling if I have any doubt. That said, our Tireless Moderators are not the ones who have any power over this. It is Duolingo admins, I believe, who may respond to trouble calls/bug identification/new ideas.

[RichardB_Lebanon]

In the corner is wrong?

[MarkBorkBorkBork]

"In the corner" is i hörnet.

[ElenaUrsu8]

I have a bug here. When I write "at the corner", it says correct answer is "in the corner". When I write "in the corner", it says correct answer is "at the corner". Please fix.
