"Kobieta je jabłko."

Translation: A woman eats the apple.

[Luke_5.1991]

Is there a reason why "the woman eats the apple" is incorrect?

[rakomaniac]

(was accepted for me right now ;) )

[Khawnduan]

I really don't know

[Jellei]

It works.

[JohnBaas3]

Yes it's ''a woman eats the apple.

[Vladislav491193]

come on...'woman eats an apple' is reported as incorrect

[timstellmach]

It is. English requires an article to introduce "woman" here.

[Kristi142652]

I typed in what the correct answer was and it still told me it was wrong.

[JessicaCel3]

Woman is eating apple? Where do the 'the's come in?

[Inquiss]

The Polish language doesn't have any articles. But you still have to impliment them in the translation to make English sound good.

[JessicaCel3]

Thanks!

[RedViperMartell]

Are nominative and accusative the same for jabłko?

[Inquiss]

yes, it's a neuter noun ending with -o, thus the nominative and accusative are the same

[FilipSlawo]

the woman is eating a specific apple, and it dosent say in the polish translation it only describes that she eats an apple, and in my opinion as a polish person this should get changed.

To zdanie, jak wiele podstawowych zdań, jest współdzielone z kursem angielskiego dla Polaków. Kurs ten, zbudowany na 'wzorcowym' kursie angielskiego stworzonym dawno temu przez Duolingo, bardzo późno wprowadza Present Continuous, co owocuje takimi właśnie zdaniami jak to tutaj.

[_Q_Q]

The woman eats an apple ?

[King2E4]

I believe that is another translation, depending on context.

[Richard600716]

In some exercises 'incorrect' English is permitted. In other words the literal translation from Polish is allowed, without articles. Here it is not. Inconsistent.

[ZSJKZ]

There is a bug for me

[RyenRennie2]

I don't know some of the spellings and it makes it a bit harder

[usefulingo]

ябwко :3

[Felix-21-21]

Niepoprawna jest wymowa lektorki "jabłko" mówi się "japko" lub "japłko" nie przez "b"

[edupond]

Why is it spelled Kobieta here and Kobietą in most other sentences?

[Jellei]

Those are different forms, different grammatical cases.

"kobieta" is Nominative - the basic form, used mostly for the subject of the sentence.

"kobietą" is Instrumental - used mostly in sentences like "Ona jest kobietą" = "She is a woman".
