"Её брат — известный актёр."

Translation: Her brother is a well-known actor.

[Andrewr756]

"Her brother is a famous actor" was not accepted.

[Tui.Why]

"well-known" and "famous" don't make a big difference

[Boupetch]

So it should be accepted!

[Bobbatrooper]

It is now accepted

[Stephen794249]

No it is not accepted

[Rk5I3]

I thought that first too, but it is accepted now (9/2020). When I looked closely at my sentence, it said His instead of Her, and the second time I missed an R and instead of brother I'd written bother. So "a famous actor" is accepted if the rest of the sentence is correct.

[VladimirCo13]

Is "well" even neccessarry here? Can't I just say "known actor"?

[Naymeo]

In my opinion, adding "well" definitely makes a difference. Saying simply "known actor" makes him sound like the subject of an investigation.

[JoseBedmar2]

Shouldn't "known actor" be accepted too?

[Beck955505]

Why is not known actor accepted??

[Stephen794249]

It should accept famous as well as well known. Most English speakers would not use well-known oh, they would favor the word famous, if for no other reason than we are lazy and would much prefer to use one word instead of two. Unless of course, you are a lawyer!

[Robrob1961]

Is there a reason the program prefers the word well-known to the word famous?

[deactivated user]

Harmless suggestion: Duo should use "famous", instead of "well-known" in this sentence ...would sound waaayyyy better! Keep it cool! :)

And his name is Jhon Cena

[ArthurKock1]

Would the word order "Брат её" ever be used in actual speech?

[BenYoung84]

No, it's like English where it's important to have the possessive pronoun and then the thing it's possessing.

[Adam344922]

Her brother's a well known actor was not accepted. Is this deliberate or an oversight?

[AdmiralU]

Well, I think the problem here is that 's . It can be either "is" or "has". And it also may mean belonging. For example: her brother's car.
