"Landet har gennem mange år produceret god ost."

Translation: The country has through many years produced good cheese.

[HautboisRose]

English translation should be "over many years"

[frankenwer]

I wrote" The country has been producing good cheese for man years" Sounds smoother to me and does not change the meaning of the sentence. What's your opinion??.

[ycUvuSap]

Agreed, though "many years", not "man years".

[UweRanum1]

I find this sentence confusing. It needs commata or through many years needs to go in front. No?

[Gamisum]

It would make way more sense with some commas "The country has, through many years, produced good cheese" but I know that duolingo is not big on using commas

[Unknowd]

Why is gennem mange år placed in between gennem and produceret here?

[ycUvuSap]

Maybe it is placed an "ikke" would be.

[PinkyT4]

can someone please explain the meaning (not the actual translation) of this sentence in English? Are they saying - the country has produced good cheese for many years (that is, producing cheese continually for many years), OR it has taken many years to produce good cheese ?

[Rebecca73497]

I think it's the former, otherwise I'd expect it to say "after many years" though the wording in English is awkward to say the least

weird English grammar
