"На столе мыло."
Translation:There is soap on the table.

I put "the soap is on the table" and DL marked it wrong because of "the." Is this because "the" emphasizes the soap too much? With "the" added would the Russian translation be different? Like reversing the word order, so that "мыло - на столе" would be correct for "the soap is on the table" ?
So, "A soap is on THE table" should mean "На столе мыло", right? But it is not accepted...
"a soap" sounds odd to me, unless it's referencing a soap opera. A bar of soap, sure.
В целом да - стол. Но вообще это наверно или тумбочка или небольшой столик: плохо себе представляю как выглядит типичный "bedside table"
I tried "on a table there is soap" and was marked wrong. Does "На столе" imply "on the table" and not "on a table"?
Yes, I believe it is speaking directly about a certain table, and therefore would be referred to as "the" table.
Could на столе мыло also be taken to mean that the table is soapy? Or does it strictly refer to a bar of soap on a table?
With the usual non-native disclaimer, I think "some soap" would require the genitive, мыла. Not sure, though.
Ive made a spelling mistake but the app is co. Ppl eltely ignoring them!!
“Na stole milo” is a good answer so accept it or tell me how to write it thanks
I think you want to confuse people because you accept the way I wrote soap on the sentence “ there is no soap on the chair “MILA but you don’t accept there is no soap here “MILO, I’m fallowing the rules but you confuse me.
To my ear the man pronounces the word мыло rather like "mywa". Is this a case of a dark L being pronounced like a w, a bit like in Polish? I have also noticed he sometimes pronounces a в more like a w, next to back vowels, although the lady doesn't.

"Soap on the table." should be right, right?
Does it need the "There is"? I thought you'll only need the "is/are" when there is a "лежит"
Like, the "There is soap on the table" should be "На столе лежит мыло"
