"Det finns ingen natur här."

Translation: There is no natural scenery here.

[Ramsfan1]

It would be more #natural# to translate as...there is nothing natural here.

[HelenHaine]

Or change the word 'nature' perhaps? It's the use of the word 'nature' here, it's really strange. English speakers would normally say something else.

[Sninguistics]

T-that's a strange sentence... does it refer to metropolises and such?

[Zmrzlina]

Yes, probably to a concrete-laden cityscape.

[Namor_Votilav]

Maybe they're talking about Mars or Jupiter

[AxonnEchysttas]

Mars or Jupiter are more natural than a concrete jungle. Although one does say that since we're natural, everything we do also is. A spider's web is natural. A plane is natural.

It would be much more sensible to translate to there is no nature here! how "natur" is translated to natural scenery, I can't get..

[SKlassen1]

I translated it as Natural beauty which was marked wrong although to me it seems pretty synonymous with natural scenery. I suppose maybe beauty is too value specific, although its hard to imagine talking about natural scenery without meaning to be aesthetically positive .

[wxfrog]

Why det finns and not det är? Natur is singular, isn't it?

[devalanteriel]

Right, but är/finns has nothing to do with number. You use finns mostly for something that's of a somewhat permanent nature, so nature fits that bill well. That said, there's a lot of overlap between är and finns, and natives will not always agree exactly on the difference.
