kids er meget amerikansk
children mere engelsk. Det er ikke ensbetydende med at det er forkert, men det bør vervejes.

Det är gramatiskt fel.
"Vi fick" står de ju.. Inte "Vi har".. Det ska snarare stå "We got three kids/children together".. Det låter mer gramatiskt rätt..

HEJ.Jer er fulstændig enig med Jarla. " We got 3
children together.

But what about :" We HAVE got three children together "?

Er det ikke bedre? De kan jo stadigvæk få flere børn. Det er bare et forslag!!

word by word = "we got three children/kids together." (I don't know if that is proper English?)

Meaning is that they got (received) three kids, no more or less.

Another try to explain here.
If you put this sentence in a whole communication, I guess that the one who say this is not staying with her/his partner anymore. (Dead/divorced/gone) If you live together you probably don't say: "Vi fick tre barn tillsammans", you probably say: "Vi har (fått) tre barn tillsammans." (We've got three kids together)

What would be correct in English is:

1- We have three....
or
2- We've got three...

both with the same meaning.

"Got" as "received" doesn't make sense, I guess...

Lilian,
I just tried to explain it and why (maybe?) people vote against. I’m just a Swede you know, and you are the English expert ...so if the meaning is the same as the origin, you got to keep it as it is!

I think the translation looks good now as it is now, and I have nothing to add to what you say about this, Pia! (It seems to me that you've already said everything of importance!)
