"Noszę skarpety i majtki."

Translation: I wear socks and underpants.

[JanneVanbe]

Now I can flirt in Polish

[TFG]

Thanks for letting us know?

[mathemagic1]

It's business time!

[awillee]

Or do I...

[MrOolong]

Does this translation into English also mean "I'm wearing socks and underpants" or does this translation just mean that you habitually wear them?

[immery]

Just habitually.
Or you carry them (also habitually)

Today "Mam na sobie skarpetki" ( I have socks on me) , "Założyłam/em / Włożyłam/em skarpetki", I would say "Ubrałam skarpetki" but it is regional (I have put on socks. ).
Jestem ubrana w .... (would work with dress, coat, suit, blouse and skirt, jeans and T-shit, bathsuit, etc., describes most important thing you wear)

[MrOolong]

Dziękuję!

[Dora.18.09]

Wow! Definitely not overdressed then :D

[KristineKruszer]

If this is all i need to wear in Poland, i will not stay single for long :p

[ChronosXD]

Can we say underwear instead of underpants?

[Jellei]

Technically "underwear" is a wider term and it translates to "bielizna", but yeah, you can.

[Marysia37]

why was "Noszę skarpetki i majtki." not accepted

[susannah07]

Majkti is plural?

[Mad446127]

You'd never say 'underpant' in English, so it's the same thing here.

[_-David-_]

I'm going to start. Who's with me?

[KeithTheKeiser]

Me XD

[StartersOrders]

Duolingo needs to actually understand that pants in the UK = underpants...

[Jellei]

Of course we know that, "pants" are accepted.

[StartersOrders]

Nope. I tried it and got rejected.

[LoveDaDoggo]

Me too. ]: (

[Jellei]

A report that is most likely yours says "I am wearing", which isn't a correct translation.

[alik1989]

Is it possible that you've written "am wearing" instead of "wear"?

[StartersOrders]

No. I literally changed "pants" to "underpants" on the 2nd try and Duolingo was happy with it.

[Jellei]

Then we'd need a screenshot to see what happened, because this is the full list of accepted answers:

I [wear/carry] [the/] socks and [the/] [pants/knickers/underpants/panties/briefs/boxers/underwear/undies].

[dont_tread_on_me]

Why does she pronounce y as e? Is this some kinda dialect she speaks?

[idanlipin]

It's nit pronounced the same. There is a slight difference, where the y is somewhere between e and i

[Rafal-Majewski]

It's an audio error.

[Mykolaievych]

Top?!

[BaciLacsi]

Too much information .. (o:

[Do_roboty]

Raportuję błąd w wymowie polskiej:
Jest: "Noszę skarpetę i majtki."
Powinno być: "Noszę skarpety i majtki."
Tłumaczenie "I wear socks and underpants." jest przyjęte, chodzi więc o liczbę mnogą "skarpety".
Proszę moda o korektę.

[Jellei]

Ech, faktycznie. Bardzo chciałbym móc poprawić audio, ale w tej chwili jedyne, co mogę zrobić, to zablokować ćwiczenia ze słuchu. Może to potrwać trochę czasu, zanim zostanie to zablokowane po stronie użytkowników.

[Do_roboty]

To proszę sprawdzić, czy dźwięk nie jest podpięty do innych ćwiczeń, jak to miało miejsce z "Jem zupę". Za jakiś czas baza się wyczyści (korciło mnie by zakończyć "wyczyści się" - po Waszych uwagach o zaimkach nieakcentowanych już sam nie wiem, które formy są poprawne). Nie będzie uwag.

[Jellei]

Jest podpięty i dalej będzie, z tym nie mogę już nic zrobić. Jedyne nad czym 'mam władzę', to ćwiczenia ze słuchu.

[LoveDaDoggo]

I AM SO ANNOYED! I go by the english spelling of stuff and I put 'I wear socks and pants'. In the English launguage, pants are NOT trousers or jeans. The are 'underwear'. Please fix this.

[Jellei]

Firstly, please don't treat your variety of English as the only variety of English. "pants" mean a different thing in the US and in the UK. So "In the English language" "pants" definitely DO mean "trousers". And "underwear" as well. Just in different parts of the world.

Secondly, while our main translation of "majtki" is "underpants", we also accept "pants" as well as "underwear".

Your answer was rejected most likely because you wrote "I am wearing" instead of "I wear". See here if the rejection still surprises you: https://forum.duolingo.com/comment/27628688

[argojumpinafire]

Why not Skarpetki?

[Jellei]

Both are correct. The current course teaches "skarpety", but the new one (in preparation) prefers "skarpetki", it's possible that our work on the new course made "skarpetki" visible somewhere here.

[caezar10]

Majtki, we tranaslate to underwear. Underpants are the long underpants that grandpa use or maybe used widely in Europe

[Jellei]

Google Graphics sure seems to show "majtki". Also "Captain Underpants" disagrees and he was created in the US ;)

[J-u-l-k-a-M]

In England we usually say either underwear or just pants or knickers for females. Can it accept just pants please

[Jellei]

Both "pants" and "knickers" are accepted.

[Nadialach123]

Boże... Nie wiedziałam że tu są takie tematy... Ale się myliłam

[Jellei]

Takie jak ubrania? No tak, są :) Przydatna rzecz.

[Penelope289515]

A small vent. I wrote skarpete, mixing up the adjective and noun endings for biernik but it accepted it as correct. Comments are helpful and entertaining but this kind of stuff shouldn't be accepted as a right answer...

[Jellei]

I agree. But:

1. If it was a listening exercise, the fix is on the way, soon you should at least get a message saying that you made a typo.

2. If it was another exercise, I expect that there already was such message.

I wouldn't treat it as a typo, but we have no power over which 'typos' are accepted and which are not :|

[MarthaFonda]

Is this something a guy might say? My understanding has been that “majtki” really translates to “panties” - as women’s panties. No?

[Jellei]

No, any underpants. So it works perfectly fine for a guy as well.

[Cubergma]

Why not "I am wearing socks and underwear."

[Jellei]
