        Any idea why "very thirsty" got rejected for "parched" but that's the translation provided here?

          Same here, 'parched' is quite an old-fashioned word too...

          I still hear it occasionally I thought it was just a colloquial thing

            "Thirsty," eh? Happy hour, anyone?

            "so thirsty" gets rejected...

              Can someone explain to me why it's not "ni soifis multe?"

              I think that "multe" can be used but "tre" is better when you're not talking about quantity.

                Another correct solution "After the work we were very thirsty." Literally sure. That is not correct English though.

                  Again, the voice recording is unclear: it could be "mi"or "ni". Other sentences are unclear between (ekzemple) laboros and laboras.
