"You have become red in the back of your neck."

Translation:Du er blevet rød i din nakke.

June 27, 2015

And nakke wasn't listed as a choice when you put the arrow over "neck".

Er det ok at skrive "Du er blevet rød i nakken."?

I have translated it directly: "du er blevet rød i bagsiden af din hals" and got incorrect :( But why?

That would be "Du er blevet rød på bagsiden af din hals."

I don't know if your version should be accepted, but "nakke" is certainly the best translation of "the back of the neck".

so does nakken mean the neck or the nape?

Nakke is on the same side of you as your back, while hals is on the same side as your face.

If you know Finnish, these are niska and kaula, respectively.

Kan ordet "rødmer" bruges i sætningen?

Is nakke always neck and hals always throat? The giraff would have a long neck, but it's throat is long anatomically.

This is confusing as a neck has a front as well as a back and your throat is inside your neck

"nake" was not even listed as an option.

I've just done the one where they give you the words and this time they wanted nakken AND IT WASN'T THERE!

Thought we were looking for the 'back' of the neck?
