I think that's really more colloquial, and wouldn't translate. :)
Besides, Duo suggests "perfect/great/excellent" for «отлично» which are stronger/more positive words than "good".
"Всё в порядке" pretty much means directly translated to "Everything is in order". As someone else points out, it has the same meaning as "Everything is ok".
Wouldn't that be the translation of everything is normal? It's a bit hard for me with the synonyms. I would translate the "Всё отлично" as "everything is excellent", is that good as an alternate translation? And i would try "всё совершенно" for everything is perfect. I know, this is only playing with synonyms and translating.
Yes that would be the literal translation. Всё отлично can be translated as 'everything is excellent'. And всё совершенно, while technically correct, would not be used by native speakers as far as I know.
Why is "It's all excellent" incorrect, while the stated answer is "All's excellent"?
I thought Всё translated it "Its all" всё отлично i said "its all excellent" and i was incorrect.
Всё = Everything... Got it!
Is duolingo wrong or are you not supposed to pronounce the В at the beginning of Всё?
Yeah, it's just really soft to the point of being pronounced fsyo instead of vsyo.

Отлично means excellent or great, and it is an adverb. While идеальный means perfect, and it is an adjective.

I'd say no, because идеально still means perfect/perfectly or spotlessly. So the right words here are either excellent or great. But in the colloquial speech you could use идеально as well.

It's going to be so hard for me to remember that 'all/everything' is 'vse' and not 'sve', which is how you say it in Croatian/Serbian, which I learned in high school.... =(
When you are feeling depressed but have to maintain the facade that all is swell.

Атлично. You can pronounce both "o"s as "a"s - АтличнА, but it is a dialectism and can be considered rather bold in some cases :) The trick is to pronounce the first "o" as "a", put the stress on "и" and the last "o" shouldn't be stressed at all, then the word will sound quite right: атлИчно
I don't know about other people, but I think that 'Type what you hear' is completely useless… I don't understand a word mostly. What she says here could be anything... and moreover, she says only one word...
отли́чно (otlíčno) [ɐtˈlʲit͡ɕnə] "very good, very well; differently": отли́чный (otlíčnyj) + -о (-o)
отли́чный (otlíčnyj) [ɐtˈlʲit͡ɕnɨj] "different; excellent": отли́чие (otlíčije) + -ный (-nyj)
отли́чие (otlíčije) [ɐtˈlʲit͡ɕɪje] "difference; distinction": Wikitionary gives no etymology here, but it sounds very similar to Swedish olik ("different") and English unlike. I don't know if this Russian word is related to the Germanic ones, but at least here we have an excellent mnemonic.
It's just really soft. In a natural flow of a conversation, you sometimes don't hear it. It's just one of those things. As a Russian speaker, I didn't realize how confusing it was for people until I saw this disscussion page.
I translated "Everything is OK" for "Все отлична". Is that really incorrect? No one usually says "Everything is perfect" in English.
In the previous lessons, we have sentences "suggesting" broken families. But now, everything is perfect. :) lol

Добро - is a noun, it might be used in this sentence, but the meaning would be different ;) If you meant Ukrainian добре, in Russian it sounds as хорошо (good).
"Everything perfect!" without the verb should also be accepted as a valid answer, isn't it? You could say it actually.
No, it doesn't work in English. You need the auxiliary verb "is" in this case.
I wrote everything is good and it means almost the same. It should br correct.

No, it shouldn't. There is definitely a difference between "good" and "excellent", right?
