"Jeg tegner en ung kvinne."

Translation: I am drawing a young woman.

[CorgiAtom]

yeah... I just didn't mistranslate "tegner" with "trenger" :D

[Louise_the_Lotus]

That is easily the hardest word similarity for me, followed by "skjorte" and "skjørt".

[Slang67]

LOL I mix those words up all the time! It's rather embarrassing when I'm wrong on these sentences! I did it here, too, dang it.

[DerAndereLerner]

It is a cognate of German "zeichnen". :)

[deactivated user]

Jeg heter Jack Dawson.

[Tankarchist]

Tegn meg som en av dine franske jenter

[EkaKevin92]

Nei, ❤❤❤

[BeornScead]

Som en av de fransk jentene dine?

Why is painting not accepted?

[Deliciae]

Because you draw drawings, but paint paintings. It's not quite the same thing.

[JeroenPel]

You could actually paint drawings and draw paintings, if you'd think about it;) but still wrong here.

[ReddySrikar]

and in case the sentence wanted to convey paint, would that be "Jeg maler en ung kvinne."?

[LeoKim18]

Hvorfor en kvinne og ikke ei kvinne?

[Deliciae]

Either works (outside of the listening exercise, of course).

All feminine nouns may be declined as if they were masculine.

I thought that "å tegne" can be translated as both "to draw" and "to paint"? Actually I am pretty sure it can mean both.

According to which source? I've only ever heard/seen 'å tegne' translated as 'to draw', while 'å male' is used for 'to paint', but I'm not a native speaker.
