"Jeg har på meg rene klær."

Translation: I'm wearing clean clothes.

[Quephyn]

It says one of the correct solutions is, "I have on me clean clothes." Like a pirate I guess? Aaarrrrr!

[bobthesane]

Could this not also mean " I am wearing my clean clothes?"

[FrederickN]

No, that would be "Jeg har på meg mine rene klær"

[torrfisk]

Or "jeg har på meg de rene klærne mine"

[GiacomoLamanuzzi]

So the norwegian version of" i am wearing" is "i have on me" is this the only way to say it?

[Xeins1]

i believe so

[Colo_Sushi]

Is rene a plural form?

[torrfisk]

Yes
Ren (masc, fem)
Rent (n)
Rene(pl and definite)

[Colo_Sushi]

Thank you so much!

[Crae-Crae]

Apparently it's incorrect to type "klær" -> "klaer" ugh.. What if I have no way of typing the special Norwegian letters on the device I'm using?

[DanielJSorensen]

If you are using a Mac, you can insert a symbol from a menu, I dont remember where that is exactly. From Windows you can press alt+0198 on the number pad for "Æ" and alt+0230 on the number pad for "æ". If on an Android phone, press and hold on the "a" key and the options will pop up, along with the options for "å" and "Å"

[loladesu]

On a Mac, it's Option + ' (apostrophe symbol).

[Tracey150273]

On an iPad- you hold down the “a” key and slide you finger to the æ option.

[JackMcslay]

If you set your computer's keyboard layout to an international layout, it's probably on right alt + A

[loladesu]

Okay, so I'm not disputing that I botched the Norwegian > English translation (I definitely did), but it's telling me the correct answer is "I've on my clean clothes". That's some pretty unnatural English right there. Even my British friends wouldn't contract "I have" to "I've" in this situation, and the Brits are the only native speakers I know of who use that contraction liberally...

If you switched it to "I've my clean clothes on" it sounds less odd, though grammar purists would slap your wrist for ending a sentence with a preposition.

[Deliciae]

The contractions are automatically added as alternatives when we add an eligible word combination. We can't override them.

[FredCapp]

Not a Brit, and I've used that contraction often.

[SnowDragon07]

Ja moren min, jeg har på meg rene klær!

[swede15]

Why I can not say, "I put on clean clothes"

[Deliciae]

That would be the translation for "Jeg tar på meg rene klær".

[swede15]

tusen tak.

[Haas888]

Okay, one technical question.
If we keep mashing those words together in Norwegian, can I also use reneklær in that sentence?
