Lucky turtles actually. Here on Duo, they are regularly on the menu at mealtimes. (I understand they are actually very tasty, which is why the giant Galapagos turtles no longer exist...)
Please explain "allting". I thought it could fit this sentence. What is the difference between "allt" and "allting"?
allt is just a shorter and nowadays much more common version of allting.
You can see the evolution pretty easily actually: all things = alla ting = all-ting = allting = allt.
Sure, that works as well - allt is just a shorter version of allting.
my brother says that literally every day, now I like everything except turtles .
My husband begs to differ. It's the only swedish word he's actually learned (specifically the singular definite form) so we're always referencing it.
Oh no, I'm sorry. I misread that.
- utan = without
- utom = except
Why i am being corrected?, i am answering the same exact thing as YOUR correction
There's no error report from you, so unless you have a screenshot I'm afraid there's no way to tell. Could be a bug, or it could be that you just missed a typo.
