The English in this sentence is wrong, please fix.

[Patty13647]

It won't happen. Danes don't make mistakes in English, apparently. At least, not the ones working for Duolingo.

The English sentence is awkward, people say ".. On the coast", and never ".. At a coast".

[RyagonIV]

How about "He works in a restaurant, at a cost"? :D

[loladesu]

That's what my brain "corrected" it to at first...!

[Meredydd]

what is the difference between på and ved?

[deactivated user]

på kysten = on the coast

ved kysten = at/by the coast

In this case, the meaning is more or less the same.

[PiaSuzan]

Duolingo still didnt accept it when i switched up på and ved

[LauraShile]

So could you also say, "Han arbejder ved en restaurant på en kyst." Are ved and på completely interchangeable?

[iad58g]

Apparently not. In any case, Duolingo won't let you say that.

[MeuamP]

Since pa means on why is he working on a restaurant and not in a restaurant ? Why not ved a restaurant and pa en kyst (on the coast)?

[Rich524475]

Why is på en restaurant på en kyst wrong in this case. På is at or on and as noted the correct English is on the coast. I think of ved as by or at and in this instance the meaning in English is on, phyically at the coast.

What is the difference between på and ved?

[Carmen29901]

I am sorry, I meant i en bank but ved en restaurant

[Carmen29901]

Why does one work i en bank but pa en restaurant?

[Sawteeth]

Thanks Viktor; I always like your polite clever answers.

Is "en" necessary, or should "ved kyst" be acceptable?
