"Prestene forsøker å synge."

Translation: The priests are attempting to sing.

[Hrafnunga]

Folket forsøker å forlate kirken.

Prestene forsøker å stoppe dem.

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)"

[Hrafnunga]

Edited, thanks :)

[vildand91]

Bare hyggelig! :)

And his contribution to publishing and Bible access is thus acknowledged. Thanks for reminding me of his persistence. Takk. 15Jun17

Would "prøver å synge" be completely wrong?

[OsoGegenHest]

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

[natkoba]

And the difference between the two would be?

[Adrian442793]

Most of the time, "prøver" and "forsøker" are interchangeable, with the latter being a little more formal.

There are some meanings, like "try a new car", where it has to be "prøver".

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

[Alesita600160]

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

Aggravating to hear - on both speeds "krestene" only to find out that the voice is saying "P" not "K"
Frequent issue: Instructions are to enter what I hear. I enter exactly what I hear, and even end up having to cut and paste the solution after I've gotten it wrong 3+ times, because what's being said doesn't sound like the solution to me, AT ALL
