"The following conference is in that hotel."

Translation: Bir sonraki konferans şu otelde.

[Sincaxi]

Why is "bir" used here? In the English sentence, it uses "the", so it's definite, right? Is this just something I'll have to remember?

[AlexinNotTurkey]

"Bir sonraki" is just a fixed phrase. :)

[Moonpanther]

It would be great if there were a lesson on Turkish idioms. Just sayin'

[IanBod]

Is 'bir sonraki' different in meaning to just 'sonraki'?

[AlexinNotTurkey]

Both are fine here :)

[Sincaxi]

Teşekkürler! :)

Another discussion said:
"bir sonraki konferans" means something like "the following one conference"

[JustinTapp2]

Şu oteldedir ?

[mim_ai]

Ertesi conferans olur mu ?

What is the difference between "o otelde" (that hotel over there) and "oradaki otelde" (the hotel that is over there)? "Buradaki ev" was translated as "this house" in a related exercise (if I remember correctly).
Thank you for all the work you put into this wonderful project!

[sayel.abba]

O otelde = In that hotel.
Oradaki otelde = In the hotel which is there.
Buradaki ev = The house which is here.
I hope this helps.

[EhabMohey92]

buradaki ev literally means " the house that is here", but in modern English, people say "this house" but it doesn't work the same way in turkish I think

[STYLE843934]

"Sonraki konferansı oradaki otele" does it make any sense? I'm really embarrassed I'm sorry if it's wrong

[kaaed2]

The supposed to be "the correct answer" doesn't translat correctly!! It misses the word "following"

[EkeKopl]

How would the meaning or sentence structure in English change if we say "Gelecek konferans su otelde" ?

[JuergenZirak]

Is "şu otelde sonraki konferans" wrong or just a shift of emphasis?

Hello, I'm new to Duolingo and I really like it. My question is off topic, but does Duolingo have a place where you do speaking exercises and native people listen and give you feedback? If it doesn't it, I think it would be a great addition to this great app. Thanks
