"Han underviser børnene."

Translation: He teaches the children.

What's wrong with "He educates the children"? Tak!

[potatoemouse]

I was wondering that too?

What's the difference between underviser and lærer?
Is it supervise?

[deactivated user]

lære can mean both learn and teach, while undervise can only mean teach.

Let's look at the two in the meaning of to teach:

at lære [NOGEN] [NOGET]

Jeg lærer børnene hvordan man binder snørrebånd

I teach the kids how to tie their laces

Here, but the direct object and the indirect object are required.

at undervise [NOGEN] [i NOGET]

Læreren underviser eleverne i samfundsfag.

Here, you can leave out the direct object ([i NOGET]): Jeg underviser gamle mennesker.

[allanthomaz]

Det var perfekt! Tusind tak for forklaringen!

Can't it also mean 'instructs the children' here ?
