    There’s nothing incorrect about donner. You have it in Donnerstag as well.

      Good point, Thor’s Day, god of thunder and lightning. But I noticed if I set Translate to Detect Language and type in donder, it translates from Dutch becoming thunder, but if I type in donner it says it’s English and doesn’t translate it.

          Donner is also French for “to give”

          I’m sitting corrected, thanks. And I’m also more aware of the limits of “detect language,” since it defaulted to English: donner = donner

        I can see that. The Swedish equivalent to Thunder/Donder is “dunder.” The German word is “Donner.”
