ترجمة - سويدي-انجليزي - Sprit löser inga problem . Men de gör nt mjölk...

Since 'Problem' in Swedish is the word for both indefinite singular and indefinite plural, the only way to know if it's the plural form is the adjective, in this case 'inga' which indicates that 'problem' is actually plural here. I would use 'problems' for this translation.

Hi superfaco,

Thanks for your input. Actually 'inga' is usually translated as "no", in this case "Alcohol solves no problems".
However since "no" can be changed by "not any" it was just a matter of choice.
In English the result is the same.

Thanks for the tip. I generally do check that box, I suppose I didn't just then.
Even though you're right about 'no'-'not any' being just a matter of choice, 'inget' would have been the word to be used if 'problem' had been singular... In my opinion, the sentence should be "Alcohol doesn't solve any problems" or "Alcohol solves no problems".
And even though the effect in the language is similar, it's still not the same. 'Problem' sounds to me as though you're using alcohol for a specific problem one may have (though we don't know which one it is), whereas 'problems' sounds more general: one's got issues->one drinks alcohol.
That was just my point of view in response to your response, not asking you to change it though.
