"Моя мама не любит громкую музыку."
Translation:My mom does not like loud music.

"Громкую музыку" is the accusative form, since "Loud music" is the direct object, the noun and its adjective have to take the accusative form.
Adjectives decline differently than nouns.
"Громкую" is the feminine accusative form. "Громку" isn't any form.
Hi. According to spelling rules, one only adds "и, у, а" after "k", so how does that "ю" after the "y"?

I can't copy and paste texts here on Duolingo, but you can read StevenSambora's comment.
Are the double sounds pronounced or just written? I mean, I hear 'gromku' as in громку and not 'grómkuyu' or similar. Same for ая ending or the even more confusing яя. Are they 'aya' and 'yaya' respectively?

Громкую is pronounced with an "oo-yoo" sound at the end - see here. I don't think that the яя has a yaya sound - see here or here. Instead, I regard it more as a "yuh-yuh" sound - see rules for vowel reduction here, which indicates that after the stress, the я takes what that page describes in section 6.3 as a "yuh" sound, or an apostrophized schwa. (I may have made up the word "apostrophized." Sorry.) Since both я's are after the stressed vowel, they are both reduced.
I do not think the Duolingo audio is fantastic on pronouncing this particular instance of громкую.
Mainly, "любит" means "he/she loves" only when the object is a person; otherwise (as here) it means "he/she likes." https://www.duolingo.com/skill/ru/Infinitive%2C-Likes-and-Dislikes
I'm not sure about "Mum." Here's the course policy: https://www.duolingo.com/skill/ru/Basics-1 "Just to make it clear, we are using American English in this course—but don't worry, we will accept all versions of English where appropriate. Just be careful around expressions like 'bathroom' or '1st floor', because these may mean different things than what you are used to." (Dinner/supper is a big one.)

I thought "do not like..." should be не нравится..., whereras не любите is unnatrual, as a Dler pointed out in a relevant discussion.
Me too. I had to choose from given words so I had no choice but when this sentence comes up again, i am sure to make this exact mistake. Can anyone point out to me why не нравится is wrong here?
Why is "... does not love loud music" wrong? Любит can mean either like or love
I don't know how to make an accusative form from adjectives somebody please help me.

My friend, try this site - it will help you see the patterns of the endings: http://www.russianlessons.net/grammar/adjectives.php
I always also recommend this site: en.OpenRussian.org - since it is an online, searchable dictionary that has (just about every) adjective you can think of, as well as all the declensions.
For accusative case, Animate masculine nouns with adjectives, ый, ой~ Ого... ий~Его
For feminine nouns, ая into ую and яя into юю..
For plurals, ые into ых and ие into их..
Neuter ones do not change
Just a fyi, to say you do not love something in English means that you do not like it very much. You could still like it, just not a lot.

I wrote : Моя мама не любит громкую музыку . The answer was the exactly same sentence as a correction. Please correct this error of the machine.
In this same course: я не люблю громкая музыка and мне не нравится громкая музыка. Considering they relate to a same kind of situation, according to my understanding, the second should be right here. Or shall one consider that they dislike "continuously" loud music and that thus, the first one is correct?

It is fine to use моей маме не нравится громкая музыка. If you try this and it is rejected, please report it as correct.

опять какая то самодеятельность составителей курса,
love - любит
like - нравится
My mom does not like loud music - моей маме не нравится громкая музыка.
My mom does not love loud music - моя мама не любит громкую музыку.
love и like можно использовать по отношению к чему угодно, необязательно к одушевленным или неодушевленным предметам, по сути это синонимы
ngl, understanding the grammar up here after having been all the way up at "Это такси" is a pretty rad feeling

Tip for those not knowing how to conjugate "Громкая"
Accusative feminine conjugation requires "а " to be replaced with "у ", as well as "я " to be replaced with "ю ". That's why It's "Громкую " instead of "Громку " or "Громкау "
