"Это не радио, мама."

Translation: This is not a radio, mom.

[jax24]

Mom is not good with this newfangled technology...

[DevinL.]

This is not a radio, Mom... this is a toaster

[hydrated_homie]

Мама тим-медик, не мотор,радио,метор

[punkdoabc]

Mom, Tim - doctor. Not radio.

[DorBacal]

Мама, Тим - медик, а не радио.

[Martin135869]

Мама, это смартфон а не книга!

[LouiseFLeBlanc]

Haha

[MaaxiMcDonat]

This is my motor. I'm sick of you and dad always confusing it with my motor.

[ya_pidorac]

Yeah, mom, this is my motor, not a radio.

[hydrated_homie]

Мама это мой мотор не радио

[LouiseFLeBlanc]

Hahaj

[nitedemon]

should н be similar to ñ in Spanish? In this case it sounds like "Ni-e".

[cherub721]

It sounds like that in this case because of the е, but it wouldn't sound like that in the word на, for example.

[DuoDaisuki]

This is because e is pronounced as ye. So it sounds like nye. But н is n.

[osleek]

that would be нье - as ending for some french terms and names such as Fournier

[bright_flash]

More like oignon. :) The sounds are very close, but not exactly the same though.

[jmgoss]

I love you guys for relating this to French. Thanks. :)

[GeutH]

It's because е sometimes sounds like "ye". Mostly in the beginning of words, if I'm not mistaken.

[Liftandsmile_]

Si, estas correcto. Yes, you are correct.

[EsvinHerna16]

Estás correcto ?! I'm Spanish and I would never say that, it's a literal translatioooooon...!!!!!

1) Sí, tienes razón,
2) Sí, estás en lo correcto.
3) Sí, te doy la razón.
3) Sí, es cierto.

Those does work ;) bye...!!!

[Liftandsmile_]

Yes but not always.

[-MMIV-]

Мама, это мой мотор. Зто не радио.

[Mask117959]

Mama, this is my motor. This not a radio

[HATAllluK]

There is a typo: 'З' instead of 'Э'

[jmgoss]

Can I ask (and maybe this is covered later), if the verb "to be" is not usually used, what is это ? Or is this just one of the rare times it is used? I am confused by that in the tips and tricks and then all of our sentences end up being "this is" and "that is" and they all use это instead of the em-dash. Can anyone help?

[jmgoss]

Nevermind. I found the answer in a different comment section but am leaving it in case anyone else has trouble, too.

это is this.

I ask a lot of stupid questions but I do learn from my mistakes in that way! :)

[2Meows]

Don't we all, my comrade?

[eananv]

It doesn't accept "not" instead of "this is no". Fix?

[nihilhypot]

This is my motor, mom. My bear wants to eat it.

[Ludoviko2013]

Is "eto ne radio, mama" really an error? Why put an accent?
EDIT: Now I understood - é is for Э. And e is for russian Е.

[GeutH]

They want you to put some é or è (I'm horrible at accents), because э sounds more like one of these accentted E's.---------Anyway, at least in windows: È=ALT+0200 É=ALT+0201 è=ALT+0232 é=ALT+0233 (You press ALT, not getting your finger off of it, and then you write the numbers. And then you get the accented letter (: ).--------And I also think it should be acceptable. It's acceptable in the Italian Duo course, and probably in many other Duo courses.

[geeria]

There is no way of knowing if you should put the "a" or not. Marking it without the "a" wrong, is not correct.

[REMI622865]

This seems to pronounce радио as "pra-dio", yet google translate pronounces it as "ra-dio", and en.wiktionary.org/wiki/радио pronounces it as "ah-ra-dio"=?=IPA[ˈradʲɪo]... so how should it be pronounced? (I don't know IPA well enough)

[HATAllluK]

"ra-dio" is correct. Hello from Russia )

[coreyf1513]

How do you say "this is not radio" vs "this is not a radio"?

[Ouni_Zxro]

It would be the same thing "Это не радио" translates "to this is not a radio". The 'a' is added by default during the translation.

Hope i was helpful and if i got anything wrong please tell me as we are all learning students. :)

[HATAllluK]

Привет! What is the difference?

[wasistrini]

Why isn't "mother" accepted as a translation for "мама"?

[wasistrini]

Nevermind, it is!

[SteinarHam]

No this is not the radio mothet

[ElfOffical]

Im here because I accidentally clicked the wrong one lool

[Erica756126]

Can someone tell me where i can learn what these letters and sounds are?

[REMI622865]

Cyrillic script

[FoxWarrior23]

I put "this is not radio, mom" and it didn't accept it because I put "not" instead of "no"? I'm a bit confused, help?

[071g1]

Should be " this is no radio mom" or "this is not a radio mom"
How many ways should i tell you so you understand that THIS IS NOT A RADIO MOMMMM

[LateBlt]

If you're talking about a specific object and stating that it is not a radio, then "This is not radio" is not correct English; you need an article. So "This is not a radio" would be correct.

[hydrated_homie]

I think the actual problem is that you didn't add the a. I put it as " this is not a radio mom" and it worked. If the "not" part is the actual problem then you might have put no by accident and thought you put not, Or its a glitch idk

[rokinpenguins]

I don't understand these types of questions. Are you supposed to say the translation into the microphone?

[Oof674263]

You have to repeat it in the mic

[Carolina258274]

it's a PS4...

[peterblack590588]

[Mask117959]

[D.L.A.]

Why does radio is written like that? Can somebody explain it to me?

[ZengShao-M]

[NiGhTmArE321]
