I'd use the word "allegation" instead of "statement", but I can be wrong.

You are Native Lene... so I trust you! Is this more like an accusation? When looking in my dictionary (statement, assertion, allegation) are all synonyms.

Hej Pia. Well, it seemed to me that allegation would be better here. Let's ask WKN, he's on line
now and he will know better than me.

Please, wkn, can you help here.

Pia. Have noticed that wkn has voted for your translation, so you have my vote too. So sorry, dear one.

Nah, don't be sorry Lene! As said: I'm not native, and sometimes our words meaning isn't the same as yours, even if one think they are similar. As always, Thanks for your input.

Re. my vote - both statement and allegation would be technically correct - I recommend statement as it seems less formal, and the "tone" of the Danish phrase is quite light, almost joking.
