i hear this as /kod/ and not /kot/, is that correct or is the TSP-software not working properly?
You are right, it's wrong. It is this tts voice issue. On ivona.con website when you choose Maja voice (it's duolingo one) and type in "Kot" it's pronounced wrong. But when you type "Kot a nie kod" it's pronounced ok.
What does it mean in German? Does it refer to a different type of cat? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
The female voice says very clearly "kod", which is why the audio exercises are disabled.
The new, male voice says very clearly "kot", though.
I hear kod on this audio too although I guessed they meant kot. Sort it out duo or change the question. "What word you think I'm mispronouncing " :-p
It's the basic word for the species, but technically it's masculine. If you feel the need to make it clear you mean a female cat, the word is "kotka".
But we often say "nasz kot" about our female cat.
I just typed Cat and I got it wrong. If polish doesn't include articles, shouldn't this also be considered as correct?
In an exercise like this one, when it's not in a sentence - yes, it should. And I see that it's listed as an accepted answer, it should have worked.
I had this question as a listening question to select the answer and i selected Koń, but it still marked me as correct and didnt give me am error text
Ouch. I remember that we used to have this bug... if it came back, we'd need some screenshots to prove it to the developers. If you had a chance to provide a screenshot for that, that would be really helpful.
Thank you! Alik forwarded it to the developers and let's hope it will be fixed.
