    Love the addition to this sentence! (just a heads up, "forlate" is a transitive verb in Norwegian, so it needs an object next to it: "Folket forsøker å forlate kirken (=the church)"

          Would "prøver å synge" be completely wrong?

            I believe that would be "try singing" rather than "attempt to sing".

            I have no idea why this sentence is so funny to me.

              Why again it accepts ONLY the form they are doing instead of they do? There is no difference in Norwegian
