"Det är helt omöjligt!"

Translation: It is completely impossible!

[_JesseKat]

I put "it's definitely impossible." for definitely, would I have to use another word, or is my answer just not accepted?

[Arnauti]

You should say definitivt, that means exactly the same as 'definitely'.

[_JesseKat]

Thanks ;P

[PaveruHakase]

I said it is all impossible

[Chrisbilljohn]

I use "quite" rather than totally, which in this context means exactly the same thing. It does not mean it is fairly impossible. It should therefore be accepted

[Arnauti]

Sure, added that. You know you're supposed to report alternative answers like that via the Report a problem button, right?

[mickeymouse1955]

I don't recall hearing: 'It is completely/entirely impossible.' Where would one use this. Tack.

[sotnosen93]

I would say it's more used for emphasis than designating different "levels" of impossibility, considering I'm not certain different levels of impossibility even exists. It would be for a context like for example "He can't have committed the crime! It's completely impossible!" (Swedish: "Han kan inte ha begått brottet! Det är helt omöjligt!")

[Q_C]

In other circumstances could "helt" mean "wholely"?

[Ewan.yy]

Other than using "helt" here, is it also correct to use "fullständigt" specifically for this sentence? If not, what is the difference between the two words "helt" and "fullständigt", tackar!

[ajtakhu]

More options are possible. A little ridgid

[NatalieBoa3]

"Completely impossible" is a tautology. It is very poor English because you are qualifying "impossible" which is an absolute already.

[kiteo]

It’s not poor English, it’s a common idiom. Unless we are giving a lesson in formal logic, then sure, it’s tautologous.

[Arkonide]

It may be an idiom but NatalieBoa3 is correct. Either something is not possible or it is. It is like saying: 'this solution is more correct'. Either something is correct or it is not. However, in the spirit of learning Swedish, I now know what 'helt' means. ;-)

[Kronoberger]

I believe that, "It is entirely unlikely." should be accepted.

[HelenCarlsson]

I can agree with entirely, but not with unlikely.

unlikely = otrolig, osannolik
impossible = omöjlig

If it's unlikely it means that it can happen even though the probability is low.

[Arnauti]

I agree with Helen. entirely is accepted, but not unlikely.

[mattheworb]

unlikely (it probably won't happen) is not impossible (it won't/cant happen)
