"The pool is beyond the house."

Translation: Bassenget er bortenfor huset.

[SebbaOpeth]

What is the difference between Bortenfor and forbi?

[fallencommander]

Essentially, bortenfor refers to the position and location of things, while forbi refers to the movement of things in relation to one another.

[anamorphism]

Bassenget står bortenfor huset.

or maybe: Bassenget ligger bortenfor huset.

would either of those be acceptable if the pool was an above-ground pool?

i realized after that got marked wrong that i should correct the type of pool i was visualizing in my head, heh.

[LangleyJames]

Is it "er" rather than "ligger" or "står" because a pool would be considered to be permanently there?

[p8c]

in another exercise in this set, ligger is the correct answer for nearly exactly the same question: "Lekeplassen ligger bortenfor kaféen." for 'The playground lies past the cafe.', so i wonder if this is a bug?

[LanceBrumfiel]

Why do I keep hearing a 't' sound at the beginning og huset? Almost every time she says it, it sounds like "tuset".

[Barborama]

Bazén je za domem.

[Lucy.Sou]

i keep getting confused with huset and hjem...is there any difference? bc it does not accept hjem...

[alek_d]

"et hus" = "a house", "et hjem" = "a home". They're almost the same as the English words if you ignore wovels and diphtongs.

[Lucy.Sou]

I got that...Thank you!

[pneh4]

Hjem =home
huset=the house

[FabioSanti9]

Is 'Bassenget er forbi huset' right?

[fallencommander]

No. Forbi essentially suggests movement, while bortenfor points to a location. In this case, bortenfor would be used

[aghastinagharta]

Why not "står"?

[tjolahoppsansaa]

Strange that "basseng" is an et-word, while "seng" is an en-word.
