"Barn bor i allmänhet hos sina föräldrar."

Translation: Children generally live with their parents.

[SparkIT]

Can we use "med" instead of "hos"?

[DenUngeGubben]

No because "hos" supposed to mean at more than with

[antibozo]

Shouldn't "Children live in general with their parents," be accepted?

[viv1kk]

What is the difference between "allmän", "allmänhet" and "i allmänhet" ?
In which case do i use them.

[deactivated user]

I understand that 'hos' is equivalent to 'chez' in French. So, could we translate this sentence as:
"children generally live home with their parents"?

[tjatwood42]

It requires a preposition, "live at home."

[deactivated user]

Thanks for the correction, tjatwood.

[devalanteriel]

Is that idiomatic English? Because if yes, I'll add it. It's exactly what it means, I just haven't heard that specific phrasing before. :)

[Timurso53]

Why is "normally" not an option instead of "generally"?

[TheScout105]

They mean pretty much the same thing, but I'd say generally means more of "On average" and normally is based on societal norms. They mean the same thing but are not completely interchangeable, nor should they be here

[629.ucql9QLTttbE]

"a child generally lives in the house of their parents" ?

[Timurso53]

Barn is children, otherwise it would be ett barn.

[oheurydice]

could someone explain how "hos" works? i think i get it but i'm not too sure.

[devalanteriel]

It means to be at someone's place.

[tjatwood42]

Could it be more generally translated as "among?"

[devalanteriel]

No, not typically.

[datzysve]

Isn't "by" better than "with" as a translation for "hos"?

[devalanteriel]

Occasionally, yes, but the "the children live by their parents" isn't an idiomatic English phrase, and likely wouldn't be presumed to mean the same as "with".

[datzysve]

Thanks :)

[JYH6UtXB]

To me, in Americanish, living 'by' ones parents means you live next door to them.

[Lele628076]

Why is usually instead of generally wrong?

[degrasseme]

Usually = vanligtvis

Generally = i allmänhet

Is there overlap? Sure. But they aren't exactly the same.

[person222222]

Could we say "children live in their parent's house, generally". I know "their parent's house" would be better translated as "i sina föräldrars hus" so maybe "Children in at their parent's place, generally" so work?

[Prof3ssorSt3v3]

Could you not use, "children generally live in the house of their parents"?

[ChoYume]

Took me long enough to realize this, but i translate this one in english by using "usually" instead of "generally" and DL says i'm correct. So I came to wonder if "vanligtvis" could also work here in swedish? Or is it that "i allmänhet" represents sth that is commonly agreed upon whereas "vanligtvis" would only be sth that is repeated in time many many times? Thank you in advance for helping me clarify this. ^^

[benjaminpa177764]

Sina = their own not their

[devalanteriel]

We normally use "own" in translation only for emphasis.

[James140490]

Mostly = generally in this context

[ALIFAJ07]

There are many ways of expressing this same idea. Not just one way, one could star with Generally...or In general and the idea is the same

[Joragval]

Thanks duo

[Rachel756773]

Why is the preposition "med" not used?

[DavisKimball]

What would be the way to turn this sentence into a question? I get mixed up a bit with most questions having the verb right after the subject. Sentences that do the same make me thino what little change needs to make it a question.
