"В доме живут настоящие утки."

Translation: There are real ducks living in the house.

[Theron126]

Only fake ducks live outside.

[AugustineLim]

Didn't know we have been killing and eating fake ducks all our lives. I feel betrayed. Or maybe I should become a vegan as a protest for this outrageous truth...

[DerAndereLerner]

На улице живут только ненастоящие утки.

[Jenna593944]

This raises more questions than it answers.

[Camshaft99]

Ah Duolingo, the only time I actually MEAN to type "duck(s)".

[Kaylamilena_jw]

Настоящие is plural and Настояший is singular.

[Molly359032]

Aww Daffy and Donald finally took the plunge and moved in together. They are duckmestic partners...ouch! Sorry...

What's wrong with "Real ducks live in a house"?

[Garan105]

No true duck fallacy.

[Ian.Kelk]

I put "Real ducks live in the house" and was marked incorrect, this should be a correct response.

[AndroidKanada]

I just gave the same answer and was marked correct, so it appears to have been fixed. Many thanks to Theron126 and any others who are clearing the backlog!

[YaelHass]

Mistake in the translation. I wrote: real ducks are living in the house, and it said it should be : real ducks a living....

[HansKeller4]

Strange indeed!

[huedor2077]

Brazilian here to make you guys know a maybe useful fact: here in Brazil (and another Portuguese speakers nations, I believe), we got no translation to "mallard"; instead, we call them as "pato real" (what can be translated as "real duck").

You're welcome.

[Giacomo1729]

Isn't that "real" meaning "royal" instead?

[MateusViccari]

Seems more likely. We wouldn't call a bird "real" if we barely see them here (I know I haven't ). One more reason to call them Royal.

[SailMaitevo]

Eu nem sabia que o nome desse bicho era pato-real

[SailMaitevo]

Why not to use дома in this case

[Simon_JDS]

How would you say 'real ducks are living at home'? Apparently this is a wrong translation...

[AndroidKanada]

«Настоящие утки живут дома»?

But wherever they live, they are at home - that's a tautology. ;)

[Julian710976]

Can you say real ducks live at home?

[Larry48039]

In my opinion "at" should be an acceptable translation for в in this sentence.

[jQuasebarth]

What's wrong with "Real ducks live inside the house"?

[mhjelmfe]

Why not at, how would you say that, since the ducks probably live at the house and not in it

[Shady_arc]

The sentence explicitly says they live in it.

[KH40bu]

only cheerful ducks are real ducks. Only ducks with blue feathers are real ducks. - things old grandpas think are funny

[MateusViccari]

Could we use реальные here?

[Kundoo]

I am not sure. "Реальный" is generally an antonym to "virtual" and I have doubts whether it fits here or not. It sounds strange to me. Though "реальный" is also used as "true", "actual", but that usage is a bit slangy. I can imagine an exited teenager saying that, but I'm not sure if it's good for a learning exercise.
