"Barnet kjører ikke."

Translation: The child doesn't drive.

[Bethany442966]

To buy : å kjøpe
To drive: å kjøre

[FanddenRidder]

Normally we need drive to buy something.
Drive to shop
"Kjøre til kjøpe"

[Tyra906563]

Thanks for that little bit of information! I was really confused

[Bruce-CallMeSoda]

I always have to guess if she is saying "barna" or "barnet". I usually guess wrong.

[Melanie479769]

Me, too. I'm so sick of this. I need an entire set of lessons with every sentence including barna or barnet. Even then, I have little hope of ever getting this

[Angie557432]

Me too. Pronunciation is so subtle...

[Kylert71]

Absolutely, i have issues with a few words in Norwegian that do this. I'm audio some of the words sounds so alike that even at slow speed it can be difficult.

[I_love_helene]

kjøper(sounds like shopping) = buying, Kjører= driving .... Just something to help others remember it :) I get confused a lot so I developed this trick =)

[marc797656]

Man after learning this language. The problem that I will have is the pronounciation and listening skills.

[ShivamSingh56958]

Yes, till now i know the meaning of many words. The only problem I face is how to pronounce and use them. If you get any help, let me know. Have a good day.

[Zismac]

What a relief

[S.Ha.]

å kjøre works for driving a car? How about other processes like using the tram or a ship?

[Emma820327]

I ALWAYS struggle to hear the difference between 'barna' and 'barnet' and context doesn't always help when 'children don't drive' is a much more likely statement, to me, than about one child specifically.

[NSchuder]

Right answer: "The bairn isn't driving." ??? I'm confussed. What is a "bairn"? "Barnet" is "the child" in my opinion. I don't know a "bairn".

[Flander85]

Bairn is the Scottish word for... Barn!

[nichtoneistina]

I can't stop hearing "hører" istead of "kjører"

[Granpa_Noogie]

From what I know, "kjø" sounds like "shhhhhh" with a heavy accent on the h.

[Alathat]

Høres "barna" og "barnet" ulike ut?

[FrederickN]

Ja, jeg hører "barnet".

[Alathat]

Men er lyden egentlig forskjellig da folk snakker sammen?

[fveldig]

da->når*

Yes, but you'll have to practice to hear the difference :) Context might be of help.

[MihemedDaw]

What is the dufferent between barin and baby

[PatriciaSimina]

When should I use barna and when barnet?

[diananlins]

Barna is the plural. Barnet is "the child".

[MargaretMa137375]

"Barna"should have been accepted because there is no context to distinguish between "the child"and "the children"

[Bruce-CallMeSoda]

True that there is no context here, but... "barnet" and "barna" should sound different. If you read lots of discussions here, you will see that most of us have a very hard time distinguishing the sound difference. It gets easier with practice, but I still have trouble after 2 years. Basically, "barnet" should sound like "barn-ehh" and "barna" should sound like "barn-ahh".

[TheoTheConqueror]

Tell that to balkan kids

[Ian45229]

Again says wrong when not able to listen rather than take not able to listen
Very frustrating
