"The police places the man near the house."

Translation: Politiet stiller manden nær huset.

Ved huset is wrong? Why? :(

[deactivated user]

nær huset = near the house

ved huset = by the house

[LauraShile]

What's the difference between stiller, saetter and laegger or are they interchangeable?

[Livinglace]

Pretty much the same nuance as put, set & lay it

[lou_s2]

Why not "putter"?

[wosaer]

This is a really unnatural sentence in English

[Anna224987]

In English it would always be "the police place", not "places".
I think the sense of it is that "the police have evidence that the man was near the house [when the crime was committed]". In English we might say "evidence places the man near the house".
