"Områderne"

Translation: The areas

[LucBE]

How would you use this? Like german umgebung?

[mipani]

When I read this word for the first time my immediate association was "Umgebung" (I am a native German). So, yes, I would use this word in the same way as "Umgebung".

[Respro]

So 'the surroundings' (omgivelser) is also a possible translation?

[Winterpants]

Kind of, but this means area, place or district, whereas omgivelser means surroundings, i.e. what's surrounding a particular place.

[DjoekeWentink]

That's what i thought

[RonNewsham]

"The areas" isn't a phrase i would use in isolation in English. Do you use it like "environs"?

[traczu70]

"The areas marked red on the map..." wouldnt that make sense?

[Markle0]

Not in isolation. You have to specify
