"I like men."

Translation: Ich mag Männer.

I'm fairly certain that there is an inconsistency with this answer. A previous problem says that both Ich mag Männer and Ich mag Menschen are correct, but this answer says that only one if correct. I believe the other answer was in lesson 1.

[Tancaliel]

Yeah, it's odd. On the earlier question you get a heart deducted if you DON'T mark Menschen as (another) correct translation of "men", while on this one you lose a heart if you do...

[LiveWithMiracle]

i thought the same though

[LiveWithMiracle]

why is "Ich mag Menschen" not correct?

[christian]

"Ich mag Menschen" = "I like people"

[peteradamov]

In english language 'a Man' can be one of two meanings - 'a human person' and 'a male person', in german language there are two different expressions - 'ein Mensch' and 'ein Mann'

[cocolion]

Can't one say “I mag Menschen" to mean “I like men“ as in "I like humans“? Or is that too sexist for English language?

[magdrides]

yes, in the definition they give for Menchen, both people and men are listed and where re mistakes to be posted?
