"Ili varme diris "Saluton"."
Translation:They warmly said "Hello".

In English there is a big difference between "They hotly said 'Hello'" [they were mad] and "They warmly said 'Hello'" [they were friendly]. So...maybe varme should NOT be accepted as "hot" or "hotly" in other situations? Am I wrong?
As it seems to me, "hotly" is just an Engliah thing, whereas "warmly" is international.
I feel like this should be varmete instead of varme? Is this a correct sentiment?
A little annoying that you get dinged wrong here for not putting saluton in quotations
I think that we've all lost stars on this one.
But, as we are constantly being told, translate exactly what they give us.
Even though I get why I'm technically incorrect it would be nice if it just warned me instead, especially on a listening exercise haha
Behind you 100%, Not all the lessons are as well thought out as they could have been.
Except that, in English at least, and often in Esperanto, the adverb typically goes before the word it is modifying.
"Hello" is not the word being modified here, "said" is.
Nice try though, and thank you for including the exact sentence you were asking about.
