"Die Frau mag die detaillierte Antwort."

Translation: The woman likes the detailed answer.

What on Earth is going on with the pronounciation of 'detallierte?'

[DerZorz]

A french influence : D

[Acedave123]

Or Spanish, with the 'll' sounding like 'y'

[CristianBull42]

as a native spanish speaker, I reject any responsibility or accusation towards Spanish for this word.

[fareo87]

The middle sounds of the word have been eaten

[LucasPereira2003]

It's like saying "Ditierte". Is it really pronounced that way though?

[Holmskjell]

Oh! So, pronounce the l's?

[JonKScott]

any reason why it won't take "lady" for Frau?

[ThomasVald3]

*Die Dame" is better for "the lady". I,on the other hand,wonder why " wife" is not acceptible!

[WinstonSaw1]

Because "Die Frau" is not necessarily a married person.
At best "Meine/Seine/Ihre Frau" would be "my/his/her wife". But "Die Frau" in general means "the woman".

[CalmlyBallistic]

Why isn't "The wife likes the detailed answer" accepted?

[CapnDoug]

Because the sentence doesn't say "Die Ehefrau mag die detaillierte Antwort." It says "Die Frau mag die detaillierte Antwort."

Die Ehefrau - the wife
Die Frau - the woman

Edit:
The only way Frau refers to wife is when it is used with a possesive- meine/seine Frau = my/his wife.

[CalmlyBallistic]

In that case, Duo should really stop introducing the phrase "my wife" months before introducing the word for "wife".

[lilli248985]

Die deutsche Aussprache ist wirklich übel.

[Elise515271]

Da ist auch scheinbar was technisch schief gegangen. Wir reden im Deutschen keineswegs so. Um zu merken ob ich mir das eingebildet habe, habe ich mir den Satz extra 3x angehört und gebe eine Meldung an Duolingo raus

[ew__]

Akk oder Nom ?

[Elise515271]

Wer oder was mag die detaillierte Antwort? - Die Frau = Nominativ
Wen oder was mag die Frau? - Die detaillierte Antwort = Akkusativ

[dominique702558]

Since when a woman cannot be a lady

[Xenia395214]

Elaborate answer should be accepted
