Любит can be(should be) translated as loves yet it doesnt accept the answer with loves. Likes is нравится
That's true, but любить is used a lot more commonly to say "like" or "love". It can be used either way in speech. Любить is also better placed in this sentence. If you wanted to say "like", it would be used differently, as "Кому нравится...".
It should at least accept both in this case then. Accepting "like" makes sense. Not accepting "love" is just irritating.
Loves is LITERALLY the translation for любит. If you wanted to say likes its нравится. I am a native Russian and know this stuff...
Hmmm, should "Who loves sleeping and eating?" be accepted, how would you say that if not?
I am getting so tired of getting marked wrong for this type of question! i am a native speaker and damn it любит is love нравится is like.
Exactly!! Ifeel the same.like, I am a native russian speaker, I deserve this apps acceptance of my answers. (°×°)
Маленький вопрос, how would you translate обожаю into English? It's a word I like to use in conversation for "really like", but I never got a clear idea of how it actually comes across to a native speaker.
I would translate it as "I am passionate about", although "I love" will do if we talk about loving things in general. The reason some native Russian speakers insist that "I like" is "мне нравится" and "I love" is "я люблю" is that that's what we are taught in school. And it's true if we are talking about liking/loving a certain person, or an animal, or a thing. But when talking about liking things in general ("I like people", "I like bunnies", "I like to eat and sleep") in Russian the difference between "я люблю" and "мне нравится" becomes insignificant or even nonexistent, really, and native Russian speakers, I guess, assume that English works the same way. But it doesn't. In English "I love bunnies" is a stronger expression emotionally then "I like bunnies".
According to Duolingo it is only love when it is an animal or a person otherwise it is like in English where we use the word love to mean like.
It only makes me think of the kind of questions one might hear while imprisoned.
I would say it makes sense unless their intent was to say "who likes to eat and then sleep?"
As an English speaker we would use loves when we mean "likes a lot" in reality though there is a very subtle difference that's hard to put a finger on. Loves I think makes more sense in a statement affirmative than in a question. For example"I love to sleep and eat"
This is one where I wonder what situation this question would be used in. Maybe like a joking question because everyone likes to sleep and eat?
Бот произносит фразу из отдельных слов! Интонационно в его озвучке невозможно понять что это вопрос!!!
Please check the audio of this sentence, I hear a "В" at the beginning of the sentence before кто.
