"Ich brauche eine detaillierte Antwort."

Translation: I need a detailed answer.

[solopipe]

is it pronounced "detailyete"? I can not hear an L sound.

[PeaceJoyPancakes]

To clarify and confirm, that link gives [deta\ˈji\ː\ɐ̯t] for "detaillert", i.e. no "L" sound, only a "Y" sound (in terms of how those letters are pronounced in English), which seems to be the standard pronunciation.

[BrendenDL]

This is the first time in the course that I've seen "ll" pronounced as "y" in German. Is this the common pronunciation or just for words that might have French origins?

[J.C.Fink]

Just for certain borrowed foreign words.

[MonsieurRousseau]

'Detaillierte' sounds kinda like 'les detailles' en Francais

[AndreasWitnstein]

That's because it's a French loanword.

[TadashiOgi3]

Oh my god. You are in a trouble!

[davraouf]

sounds Italian

[AndreasWitnstein]

…except that the Italian «dettagliato» [ˌdet·taʎˈʎa·to] is pronounced with a double [tt] and a double [ʎʎ], whereas the German »detailliert« [ˌde·taˈjiːɐ̯t] is pronounced a single [t] and a single [j].

What about "I need an answer in detail" is it wrong???

[Raisinnoir]

You want to learn adjectives here, so "eine detaillierte Antwort" should be expressed as "a detailed answer" as the Duolingo translation gives.

[kabokt]

Yeah, but you want to learn german adjectives, so i think if you translate the german expression "detaillierte antwort" to English as "answer in detail", then you did a good work, so your answer should be accepted
IMO

[AndreasWitnstein]

“I need an answer in detail.” would be
»Ich brauche eine Antwort im Einzelnen.«

[Infernus87]

I need an exact answer??

[PeaceJoyPancakes]

No. (Notice that "no" is an exact answer, but not a detailed one.)

[Infernus87]

okay thanks

[maji.zero]

It says dedierte and you mean detaillierte!!!

[AndreasWitnstein]

Yes, the male voice mispronounces »detaillierte« as »dedierte«, leaving out an entire syllable.

[Ruth919289]

Antwort is feminine and “eine” is used so a mixed inflection is suggested, however, the ending for detaillierte is an “e” and not an -es. Is this because an adjective ending must match the article ending? Is that the correct way to think about this sentence?

[PeaceJoyPancakes]

The accusative singular feminine ending is "e", no matter whether strong, weak, or mixed; "es" isn't among the possible feminine endings.

[Shuckin]

Adjective: Mixed feminine accusative. Mixed only takes -e or -en unless its "ein" specifically and it feels :) more like an -e
