"Kan det påvirke dig at pigen elsker en bjørn?"

Translation: Can it affect you that the girl loves a bear?

[Neilliebus]

This isn't a sentence that would ever be spoken in idiomatic English.

[NardoTIcarus]

I mean, girls don't usually fall in love with bears to begin with. In Denmark or the Anglosphere.

[Heithr]

I agree. I would tend to use if rathwr that that, as in, "Can it affect you if the girl loves a bear?" Or "Would it affect you if the girl loves a bear?"

[londoncallling]

I think 'does it affect you' should also be accepted. It sounds much more natural in English.

[deactivated user]

That would be "Påvirker det dig at..." in Danish.

[orfeocookie]

But translating into English, one should aim for a natural English sentence, not just a natural Danish one.

love is love guys

even if it with a bear i guess...

[DanielM.Si1]

Either "would" or "could" should be correct translations. Using "can" in this sentence does not sound right in English.

Nah. No skin off my nose. :)

[LeXryeau]

Maybe off her's with a particularly rough kiss

[Q3BILLY]

That doesn't make any sense in English, it should be "does it affect you"

[Markle0]

Since it is conditional, "would it affect you" is better

[xy16j3]

The sentence makes sense: If you are near a kid who loves their teddy bear and has just lost it, it will affect you... at least acoustically ;-)

[Wes-DK]

What does this even mean?

[astonjam]

The sentence in English doesn't work because the context doesn't match. You either say, *can it affect you if...?" or "does it affect you that...?" So a hypothetical question vs a definitive question.

Is the girl's name Lyra by any chance?
