yeah as written bellow, "I thank you" implies you need to use the verb, as opposed to "Thank you" or "Thanks"
That's stupid. Spasibo is an absolutely valid translation and I am sure that it will be accepted eventually. Thanks is short for "I give you thanks" anyway. And nobody says "I thank you" too

And just one or two questions before, I wrote spasibo as the translation of I thank you, and it was accepted -- but now that it is in a two-sentence text, spacibo is wrong (Augst 2019).
In school they learn us only спасибо as a word "thanks". I dont know why duolingo is not accepting this. Everybody in Russia will understand you when you will use word спасибо
I have many criticisms of Duolingo, some severe, but I think this sentence is one that has a long list of possible alternate translations and my first assumption here would be that they simply haven't accepted all the valid alternate ones yet.
If you feel certain a certain answer is valid and correct, report it. I've had good luck getting my reports accepted. This way you'll help improve the course for others.
You are right i know how to speak russian but i cant read or write so when i choose the words for the sentence they sometimes put it wrong like its the same but the organization of the sentence is a bit diff. But it is still have the same meaning lile da faq
Sometimes they insist that we use their translation so we get the point that it exists, otherwise we'd just use the more frequent word and then be thrown off when the more rare variant crops up. Just learn it and know that you have to use it here. And get over it. ;)
Duo is free because its founders want to offer free language instruction to socially disadvantaged people. Sorry, 43Ze3 if Duolingo doesn't meet your standards for "first rate." And you, are you "first rate," or "second rate?" Italians have a saying, "who says it, is it." (Chi lo dice, sa di esserlo.) Rings true so often! Also our English proverb: "Keep your words soft and sweet, you never know which ones you'll eat."
I think if duolingo is going to be so picky then it needs to do a better job of explaining the difference. A ! implies you're yelling it, and that seems impolite anyways.
I feel as though it's because this sentence is meant to be "formal", so using a word such as Спасибо, which is used in everyday situations, would be considered "informal", though I'm not sure it should be so strict either.
Even я благодарю вас doesnt work! Why would they force you to drop the subject?
I think people are missing the point that this is the more formal way of saying things. Yeah it's a little odd, but in formal situations in english you wouldnt say thanks, you would say thank you.
Hence the suit and tie icon :P

Can anyone please tell me why благодарю вас is correct here but вас благодарю is not? I'm pretty sure I've seen both in exercises here. What's the difference in meaning?
I understand that the first form is much more "natural" than the second one. Вас благодарию would seem very strange.
Yes, everyone will understand you when you say спасибо and probably you dont need any other word to use instead of it in real situation. But, what if someone tell you благодарю вас and you haven't heard it already. At least you need this word to understand what people are saying to you.
My Russian teacher, who is a russian native, who's first language is Russian, says that this is unnecessary and спасибо would've been acceptable
Yes, I tried совершенно because it seems to be the best translation of "perfect". Отлично means "excellent" or "outstanding". So hard to predict what answers this program expects!
совершенное refers to verbs in the perfect tense i.e. past tense finite

they usually put the translation that they want you to use at the top of the suggestion list, and i got 'идеален' as my top suggestion, so i used it too, and of course they failed me on it. i don't know why they would make suggestions, and then fail you when you use said suggestions.
I had written вы - also wrong. Solution: вы is in the nominative form, вас in the accusative/ genitive and вам in the dative.
"I thank you": "I" is the subject (so "you" cannot be in the nominative) and "you" is the object, so it's acc. / dat.. It's a direct object (you're not giving thanks to someone; you're thanking them) => acc.
This time I am being misled,because it does not matter whether I write отлично всё,orвсё отличио both sequences were marked as,WRONG! What is going on?( walter Kloeckner) yours trulyI
Why is идеален not accepted? It is even their first suggestion when you hover your mouse over the word "perfect".
This is the first time i even heard of the term "Благодарю вас" I've been learning Russian in school for 2 years and we always used "спасибо" even for similar if not the same phrase

Спасибо и благодарю - абсолютно синонимичны. Благодарнось кому-то, чему-то. Конечно, можно вспомнить, что Спасибо произошло от "Спаси Бог", Благодарю произошло от Благо дарю, но разве это повод принимать лишь один вариант?
It marked "я благодарю тебя" as wrong, saying I needed "я благодарю вас"

"Да, всё отлично. Благодарю тебя" -
Не принимает :(
"Да, всё отлично. Я благодарю тебя" -
Не принимает :(
И похоже, никто не поддерживает эту ветку упражнений, так что исправлений ждать не приходится :(
I am absolutely sure that "спасибо" is more common than "Благодарю вас", Actually, I've never heard it from a russian speaker, maybe in books.
I have the same question. I assume it is because duo does insist on the "I thank you"-form and not on a simple "thanks".
Yes, it's wrong. Спасибо is not a verb, so using it with a subject and object is ungrammatical.

why is благодарю вас considered to be correct and благодарю тебе is condidered wrong ?
Does anyone use Благодарю вас in formal settings, or is спасибо always okay?
If the question asks for a literal translation of "I thank you", then best to put Благодарю вас, even if it is not what you would normally say.
So, i speak with my mother. She is a nativ speaker. She says You can always say спосибо. Благодарю would be only use by noble people.
Спосибо should be accepted. The cours in here is to learn Russian not exercices of duo lingo
I wrote да, всё отклика. Благодарю вас. It was wrong, whats the difference between отлично и отлична? Masculine and feminine?
Used auto spelling. Spelt wrong word, that's why it was wrong. Although the second part i still have a query about. Though now i wonder if I just made a word up!!
"Всё" requires the neuter "отлично" as opposed to the masculine "отличный" or the feminine "отличная".
The word "отлична" is the shortened form of the feminine.
am i the only one who hears "благодажю"? im not sure if thats the robot screwing up or im just deaf.
вы имеете к добавить " да, все отлично, спасибо " и "да все отлично спасибо вам"
"Да, все отлично. Я благодарю вас!" Это правильный ответ!!! Почему никто не добавляет?

I translated the second sentence: " Благодарю тебя" and it was not accepted. I reported it as : My answer should be accepted".
I think it’s not accepted because благодарю is very formal. Therefore, вас, not тебя, should be used. If I’m mistaken, I welcome anyone’s correction.

I have noticed during the whole lesson, that Duolingo does not accept the translation "тебя" instead of "вас". Why do they offer that at the first place for the single word translations? - I find it very inconsistently.
For English speakers is more difficult to grasp the use of formal and informal subject pronouns. This concept comes natural to me as I grew up speaking Spanish. There are clear uses for all the English “You” in other languages (Russian, Spanish, Dutch, for example). Sometimes one must examine carefully the whole sentence to know the context.
Ugh! It doesn't like совершенно either which I think is a better translation than отлично.
They need to throw out this sentence. I put я before благодарю and it didn't like that.
So я благодарю вас is wrong ! I had the я that was not accepted... Can anybody tell me why ? Thank you...
да, всё отлично, спасибо. Well, seeing comments below with similar situations.

Maybe it's me, but I never heard that anyone use "I thank you"! It's " thank's" or "thank you" but "I thank you"?
Does Благодарю вас mean "you have my thanks" or what does вас mean here? Since it's also used in у вас есть for the plural you I think?
It is literally "(I) am thanking you". The phrase is quite a formal way of thanking someone but some people at least throw "Благодарю" occasionally regardless.
Is DA VSE OTLICHNO, BLGODARIU VAS really wrong ? It is still the question of how to transliterate. I'm getting very anxious about it. I hear VSIO but must type VSE. I hear YEST but must type EST. I hear PIZZA and type PITTSA ! I hear UNNU and type ANNA. It's the "E" with the two dots on it that is the most confusing. Please explain so that my future with you is easier. Many thanks. Kipps (27 June, 2020)
The transliteration treats е and ё the same.
By the way, you most certainly do not hear PIZZA with a Z as in "zoo". Generally, the transliteration establishes one-to-one correspondence between the Cyrillic and the Latin symbols (which almost works even).
А is A, О is O, У is U, И is I, Е is E, even though in English most of them have a different sound. Well, some dialects of English barely have the [o] vowel except in words like "more" or "word" (i.e., before an R)—and [a] is also not an easy sound depending on your dialect.

I included Я and was marked wrong, even though the lesson used it in an earlier exercise.

why is not accepted my version here? "Да, всё отлично. Я благодарю вас" What is wrong with the pronoun in front of благодарю?

What is wrong with the pronoun in front of благодарю??? I wrote: Да, всё отлично. Я благодарю вас
You can't say "вам благодарю", because you use dativ instead of needed accusative. Correct: "ВАС благодарю", but duolingvo fails to receive this answer..
