      Home is a place, house is a building. It should definitely be replaced to house.

        I understand that the plural of "okno" is "okna" but it's not very clear in the translation bubble. Or is it just me?

          "Okna" can be either singular genitive, nominative plural, or accusative plural. In this sentence it's accusative plural.

            Why is the variant "There are windows in my house" wrong?

              Because that would be W moim domu są okna.

                I guess it's because Duolingo expects you to have literal translations whenever it makes sense.

                      Because "okna" is plural. My house has windows.
