"Kvinden kan godt lide efteråret."

Translation: The woman likes the autumn.

[anthony.st4]

Hi, can efteråret also be translated into autumn?

[Xneb]

Yes, it means the season from mid-septermber to mid-December rather than the act of falling

[zeusttu]

Yes, that's the exact same thing except in British English.

[rodryliff]

Autumn is used in all English-speaking countries mate, whereas 'fall' is chiefly American.

[dpatkat]

Yes, here in USA, we usually say fall, but children are taught both in school.

[hrclbm]

Forår is spring, efterår is fall, is år summer?

[lambda314]

Even though 'For-' and 'Efter-' directly translate to 'before' and 'after,' I like to think of them as 'early-year' and 'later-year' as an additional step before translating that into spring and autumn/fall; I find it's useful to remember their meanings

[Xneb]

"År" is "year", "summer" is "sommer"

[Rhapsodyja]

År is year

[Rhapsodyja]

Can't delete :( Sorry

[kbkristensen]

what about the kan godt lide...that is a lot for just the word likes! are there any similar ones used in danish? For example, how would you say she likes it...

[DavidWinlo]

It does seem a bit cumbersome to an English speaker - I believe it literally means 'I can suffer it well', which makes it seem even stranger. Men jeg kan godt lide på det. Jeg tænker at du kan også sige 'synes om' i stedet for 'godt lide på' :)

[as2907]

Do you mean instead of 'kan godt lide på' or actually just 'godt lide på'?

[DavidWinlo]

Instead of 'kan godt lide på', so 'jeg synes om duolingo' instead of 'jeg kan godt lide på duolingo'.

[as2907]

Thanks.

[Louisa219]

"Godt lide på" is not correct Danish. "På" should not be there.

[andrey420]

So the woman likes the very specific autumn?

[DavidWinlo]

'The' is needed in Danish and in American English (though I think it may be optional in American English, at least sometimes), but not in British English, so you can lose it in the translation if you say 'Autumn' and not 'Fall'.

[WildSage]

Autumn doesn't need the "the" in US english.

[dpatkat]

Even to my American ear, "in fall" sounds strange. More common is "in the Fall".

[dpatkat]

Not a specific fall, it is a liking for the season.

[Lars946533]

"does like" isn't the same as "likes"?

[Wes721795]

Why is it lady and not the woman?

[DavidSoren5]

Kvinden has always been the women why is it lady in this case

[Karinadt]

Why "the lady" and not "the woman"??

[Stephen263976]

There should be the option for Autumn

[Helle384474]

Forår,efterår.Interesting.Can we think that forår means 'the begining of year' and efterår means 'This year's almost being endend'?(I don't know if I did any grammar mistakes here.I'm not a native;))

[DacianR.]

Really, you do not know that "fall" and "autumn" are synonyms?

[Jay709846]

I would stop wasting time and just say elsker.

[BernardKna]

Je suis quelque peu désappointé car précédemment j'avais traduit par "autumn" et avais été corrigé! Êtes-vous "British" ou "USA"?
