i got it wrong initially because it had A. taught me previously that it’s プレート and B. based on how other kitchen ware is practically how it is in english.
and i sanity checked both google and apple translate to see if maybe there is another way to say it but nope it’s just made up
Edit: as multiple users have pointed out お皿 isn’t made up i was just too hasty to make a post and hadn’t fully researched
Am I the one at fault or is this their issue ? I’ve already learnt 汚い(きたない) which means dirty, why do they use きれいじゃないinstead of 汚い if they want to imply that it’s not clean aka dirty ? I know that they might wanna help me strengthen my memory by using きれいじゃない but shouldn’t my answer also be accepted as a correct version ?
So I did many lessons of Japanese from duolingo, but didn't learn the alphabets. And now questions asking to identify words are coming in newer lessons. What do I do now
I don’t think I ever heard someone in a normal conversation if a place it’s clean, I know kirei means clean, pretty, beautiful, and so I think it would be like “Is Toronto beautiful” and it’s not just this one but almost all places they give in sentences examples they say clean.
Is it just the word, or is it the way I structured the sentence?
My goal is to get to n5 in Japanese through Duolingo . I have a premium family with extra spots . If you are interested please let me know ! Thanks
I wanted to test my Japanese proficiency. The second pic shows how many days in a row I have used Duolingo. Not sure how A2 compares to the 'N' grading system, so if anyone knows if it's saying I'm N5, N4 etc, I would appreciate knowing. Thanks for anyone's response who knows in advance. 😊
I just learned how to type in Japanese as part of my duo lingo lesson… I understand desu ka references to a question and the rest of this sentence looks correct according to google… what did I do wrong ???
Any tips appreciated.
It won’t let me finish the lesson so any help is appreciated so I don’t lose my streak!
Is it because they di and ji sound the same? Some type of history lesson here?
I used Jisho, I see that 温かい means “warm” too but with the connotation of like “friendly, or personable”
Is this just duo doing duo and fucking me up? Or is it maybe playing 5D chess and trying to trick me because they use the Same character?
Im so confused, isn't this a perfectly acceptable interpretation of that sentence???
I used Duolingo to learn Japanese for a year after which, Duolingo replaced the Heart system with an Energy System (By far the worst change, which everybody hates). After this I stopped using Duolingo. A few days ago, I found that if you use Duolingo on PC, you still have hearts, so I guess that's a W.
For those who don't know: Duolingo switched from Hearts to Energy. Before you used to be able to do as much lessons as you wanted until you made 5 mistakes and you ran out of lives. Even if you did, you could replenish them. Now, even if you made 0 mistakes, the game forces you to wait for your energy to replenish as it decreases with every question.
Hope this helps. If I'm wrong about anything, please let me know.
I still wonder how Duolingo could make something worse than hearts .
Hi, is this phrase natural/casual Japanese?
Hey should the reading for this be “yesterday’s girlfriend’s bag was tacky” or something else?
I used duolingo to start my japanese journey. It helped me memorize katakana and Hirahana. But when I left it was because I realized it looped the same lessons over and over with little to no progress and was pretty much just AI lessons that made no sense and barely taught anything. (Definately not grammer or sentence structure.) So my main question is if it has improved since then? Right now im using migaku, I enjoy the in depth lessons, chance to keep learning even if you mess up, the daily reviews, so on and so forth. So at this point would it even be good for me to return and give duolingo a chance again? Or should I not bother?
First time getting the 〇 kanji what's going on here. I'm so confused. What's up with the pronunciation too is that just Duolingo messing up?
How come sometimes it accepts kanji but sometimes it doesn’t? I put the kanji 水 (water) and it didn’t accept but a lot of the times I do put kanji and it does accept it
