    "é infantil" was rejected. Why?

      Criancice is pejorative . Infantil is a thing made for children. Like a book for children 'um livro infantil'

        As I know, “childish“ isn't necessaryily pejorative either

          I used "É infantil" and DL said it was correct.

            I had no idea it was "criancice" because I wasn't taught that word yet. Same thing with pronouns in direct/indirect object position. And the word "to love." All in this section. What happened?

                Why wouldn't it be an option, considering it's already there as a definition?

                    What's wrong with saying pueril? Is that word not really used in Portuguese?

                      It's rare in PTBR.

                      Criancice, although used earlier in the lesson, does not appear as an option here.
