"Jeg kører i bilen til min mor."

Translation: I drive in the car to my mother.

[bakerjh]

this is definitely a weird sentence to say in English...Is this a common way of saying where you are going in danish?

[Alf-Sawman]

The Danish course is definitely stranger than all the other languages I tried @Duolingo.

In addition to the "funny English", loads of sentences are plain strange examples and pretty bad usage of the language, really...

This sentence is ambiguous: It can mean

• either that I'm driving my mom's car, *or that I'm [in] the car to my mother

It's a weird way to say both, I'd say...

[Las_HS]

no definately not, this app is just weird sometimes

[DieLegende2]

It's the same word order in German so I suppose yes

[rbertj]

In eastern Slovak dialect they say "idem do doktora" meaning in any other dialect "I'm going into the doctor"

Can at køre i bilen be translated with to go by car

[JoyceA]

So does this mean "to my mother's house/to my mother's place"?

[RidderJakob]

It can, but not necessarily.

[JoyceA]

Thanks!

Would kører bilen (without i) be wrong?

[Gylej-Gulay]

Do you suppose we could also say "Jeg kører i bilen imod min mor"? Is it an appropriate usage in Danish?

[sll-ttt]

for me it would mean you drive the car to crush your mother in a staged accident

No one would say that in English - I drive to my mother - would be the usual way to say this.
