"Jeg spiser ikke frokost."

Translation: I do not eat lunch.

[KevinDetry]

frukost = breakfast (Swedish);
frokost = lunch (Danish)
-_-

[foppington]

frokost = breakfast (Norwegian Bokmål), just to make it a little more confusing!

[JaneJustice]

Frühstück in German also sounds alike) But the Danish!..

[Susan2538]

"lunsj " is "lunch" in Norwegian. "lunch" is "lunch" in Swedish.

[Niall3456]

Jag är i samma båt :)

[edo_farias]

hahaha I came to comment the same

[Malenajaja]

Haha, when I practice swedish i think the same thing :')

[ScottDwane]

I eat...backspace backspace backspace. I DON'T eat lunch.

[Araiser]

But what's wrong with "I eat no lunch"?

[fmmarianicolon]

It's not wrong from a grammar perspective. It's simply an older phrase that has gone out of style. Hearing someone say "I eat no lunch" would sound odd to an American.

[Brandonauto]

yeah i don't lunch i only eat breakfast, snack, second breakfast, tea, snack, brunch, snack, linner, snack, super, dinner, snack, pre bedtime milk, snack, bedtime milk and sugar and then i sleepwalk to the fridge then i have breakfast again and so i mean, who needs lunch anyway?!

[IanChristi12]

What kind of crazy hobbit are you? Just that? Doesn't cover lunch at all!

[Brandonauto]

sorry mate, guess that's just who i am. ima crazy ausie hobbit

[JohnDarwin12]

speaking in danish is way harder than other Scandinavian languages.

[Yvonne608224]

Norwegians and Swedes have a hard time understanding Danish. They speak pretty clearly here on Duolingo, but in real life they speak with a potato in their mouths.

[calum539927]

I once heard the description of Danish being a drunk guy with a potato in his mouth. (:

[AustinNg6]

Lol u havent tried icelandic

[QuintusMarius]

How are you supposed to pronounce these words?

[GigiGottwald]

What's wrong with "I don't have lunch"? Surely that is perfectly good English for not "eating" lunch?

[GigiGottwald]

I received two downvotes, but not a single explanation. Will someone explain, please? Thanks

[calum539927]

This just happens to be the translation that they said was right at the time. DL just isn't advanced enough to take more than one answer with a few typos.

[geometry667721]

Yes it is. Often more than one translation are accepted

[Brandonauto]

English is sloppy, its perfect English but i don't think it means the same thing in danish. but thats just a guess

[BarbInBereaKY]

If they wanted your sentence, they'd have written "Jeg har ikke frokost." My accepted answer was "I am not eating lunch."

[Koran822325]

Is the end of "frokost" pronounced with a little "ch" sound?

[calum539927]

I've also noticed that with "tak" too, and I think that they might always pronounce their "T's" with a little bit of "Ch" added in.

[geometry667721]

It could be a glitch in the text to speech software.

[Jimmy310889]

I don't eat lunch
