"Hvorfor er tallet faldende?"

Translation: Why is the number falling?

[bronshojbob]

Isn't the number dropping?

[edalgas]

Could "Why is the count falling" work also.

[MartinSvolle]

No, the number is cipher and the verb "fallENDE" is saying that the cipher is decreasing

[HastaLaVista83]

Note that "faldende" is not a verb, but a participle (an adjective derived from a verb).

[webgenie]

As a matter of fact I just wrote that and got it wrong, so I can give you a very definite no to that.

[MartinSvolle]

I still think the English translation is crap. The sentence makes sense in Danish, but even as a native, I'd muck up the translation into English. It makes no sense. I reported it.

[kebukebu]

Try stapling it up.

Like in the stock market or is this justa duo lingo nonsense sentence

[MartinSvolle]

Like in the stock market. The number is decreasing.

For some reason, i could hear the song 'Final countdown' in my head.

Why is the count falling? e.g. pollen count - why is this marked incorrect?

[MartinSvolle]

It could be because that when it's about a specific group of number, you use the word "antal" so when it's the pollen count (pollental) but it's "antallet af pollen" in the air.
E.g. The number of children - antallet af børn.

[KyleJDahl]

Because it's winter and that is the temperature.

[Kathy_be_happy]

Because it saw a cute letter to fall for....

[Aryk_Aul]

Because they get cured , finally ..

[KyleJDahl]

Because my good sir, it is winter and that is the temperature.

Would 'hvorfor falder tallet' be a faster fall?
