"One"

Translation: They

[Quinn578175]

What is the diffrence between oni and one

[spicy_wolf]

You use oni if there is at least one man/masculine object in a group and one if it's a group of feminine/neutral objects. AFAIU

[Poiuytl]

What's AFAIU?

[Vengir]

Probably stands for "as far as I understand"

[TaeRoar]

Basically (if I've gathered this correctly), oni means a group of men and one means a group of women

[borowski752]

If you have a group of men and women you also use 'oni'

[olivia.cai]

Sorta like in Spanish, where we use 'ellos' for a group of men and/or women, and 'ellas' for women only.

[Poiuytl]

Or French. Interestingly, not in German.

[MatejPoljs]

Yep

[pathetic_mullet]

Gender is the difference, one is masculine the other is feminine ( i'm sorry if i'm incorrect I just started today )

[KubaSliwin2]

oni is used to describe/announce a group of males or a mixed group whereas one is used to describe/announce a group of girls only

[AlexCopeland1]

I honestly thought the audio said 'ona.' Anybody else have that issue differentiating between them?

[Vengir]

The audio in this case is not very good, to be honest. I get it why you could have answered wrong.

[WilliamHallman]

Yeah. I got this wrong for the exact same reason.

[mskycc3]

I thought the same. Fortunately/unfortunately, it marked me right and said I had a typo. :)

[o0LavenderRose0o]

Same tho! xD

[deactivated user]

I'm from Poland and sometimes I have a problem with understanding the audio...

[poulenco]

I thought I had to translate the english "one" to the polish "jeden". Is there a way to indicate from what language to translate from?

[Vengir]

If it has audio, you can be sure that the word is Polish.

[KristenSwi]

Haha I just did the same thing

[spicy_wolf]

you need to read every time, in the right column you have a task: "Translate into English" or "Translate into Polish".

[wGIp2]

Both oni and one sound like elder brother and elder sister in Japanese. No too hard to memorize thou.

[Ken751098]

This helps A LOT. Including Ona is also female in Japanese.

[mistervsteen]

My sounds was off and I typed 'Jeden' :P

[Adit_Bagas1]

How about "if one of them (male) there is a woman" Which can we use?

[Jellei]

I'm not sure what you mean.

"Oni" is for groups of people with at least one man.

"One" is for everything else, including of course groups of women-only, but also dogs, or cars, or computers.

[mariusz409997]

word "one" this is plural for female kind " people , animals, flowers, letters , subject. example :animals-kozy{nanny-goats), flowers-róże(roses), subject-tarcze(knight shields)

[stojance1]

TNX!

[Maplefur]

I typed Jeden instead of they oops :P

[Kamil672550]

the same

[tryingveryhard]

Hey can anyone count to five yet?? I haven't learned numbers yet and I feel incompetent for not knowing somethin as basic as numbers lmao

[Jellei]

Counting to five is of course quite basic, but numbers in Polish are generally pretty difficult.

[Kelly202419]

This one is write what you heard - I thought I heard Ona and they marked it as correct, saying nicely done. (Ona being She, I know) But the answer is They.
(Still slightly confused though.)

[Jellei]

The developers have been made aware that in the hearing exercises, no message about a typo is displayed. I hope they will act on it.

On the other hand, as "ona" is also a word, I personally think this should not even be treated as a typo, but rejected... although I can also understand that the words may sound similar to the learner and there's no context at all here.

[o0LavenderRose0o]

Please, im from paris tho but i can understand english but anway, i need an easy way to understand between "oni" and "one" :c

[Vengir]

I don't know French, but after looking up I think it would be like this:

oni – ils
one – elles

Maybe there are exceptions, but this should get you started.

[Prof.Luigi]

I typed "wone" on accident and it accepted it. Is it an alternate spelling or is Duolingo pulling my leg?

[Jellei]

It's not correct.

If it was a 'type what you hear' exercise, then those do not currently show "you have a typo" messages. And your answer could be treated as a typo.
