"The boy gets tired."

Translation: Pojken blir trött.

[tsyesika]

I actually think "The boy becomes tired" works much better in English (I'm a native British English speaker), it's also much closer to the literal Swedish.

[amber_jin]

is "pojken får trött." also correct?

[devalanteriel]

No, it works in English but in Swedish that would be like saying "the boy receives tired" (or "the boy sheep tired").

[amber_jin]

tack!

[JANBOEVINK]

Would DL accept: -pojken tröttnar-?

[JoakimEk]

I don't think so, it is not the same meaning in Swedish.

Bli trött=Become tired (and want to rest)

Tröttna=Become tired of something (or Get fed up)

However, "bli trött på xx" has the same meaning as "tröttna på xx"

[jruota]

It accepts "pojken tröttnar".
