"Were you using my toothbrush?"

Translation: Używałeś mojej szczoteczki do zębów?

[arcword]

I love that the answer in the mobile version is a plural "you"

[LozNoz]

I know, it just makes it worse - plural people using your tooth brush, yuck

[ascay]

ciekawe pytanko ))

[Jean-Lucfranois]

używać needs gentive ?

[Jellei]

Yes indeed.

[Kate821907]

Why is it wrong " Ty chodziłaś mojej szczoteczki do zębów" ?

[JerryMcCarthy99]

= "Were you walking my toothbrush?" (approximately)

[Jellei]

Only that this is at least grammatical, though nonsensical - if you treat it as 'taking for a walk' ;) While the 'Polish' sentence isn't...

[JerryMcCarthy99]

Good point. Can "chodzić" even be used transitively? Wiktionary suggests
"Wyprowadzić" for this...

[Jellei]

Indeed, for "walk the dog" it would be wyprowadzić/wyprowadzać na spacer.

[karaluh]

"używałeś mojej szczoteczki" should be accepted

[Jellei]

True. Added now.

[Joridiy]

I guess... Duolinguo should start making a difference between thou and ye in the context of different languages... I mean... ¡Almost every language in the planet has a distinction between plural and singular "you"!

[redvibe7]

You can't expect Duolingo to actually use thee/thou/thine as English words, because this would mis-lead people who are learning English as a foreign language. English does not use that form any more - we only use plural/formal you.

[Arnoldpitt]

Bu NOT modern English

[EwaPink]

Shouldn't it be
Używaliście moją szczoteczkę do zębów??

[Okcydent]

Używaliście should be used with genitive, not accusative.

[JoshLovesBacon]

"Używałaś" was highlighted as a typo - is this not correct?

[Jellei]

It is correct, and it's also put correctly on the list of answers, so it shouldn't give such a highlight... perhaps something else was wrong? The grading algorithm has problems with showing what exactly was wrong.

[JoshLovesBacon]

Interesting. That was copy and pasted from my answer; I did have another typo (I don't remember what, exactly), but "używałaś" was definitely highlighted. Just a bug, I guess. Thanks for clarifying.

[JerryMcCarthy99]

It's not unknown for Duo to highlight the wrong thing as a typo. If you have no actual wrongly spelled words, but you get the word order wrong, that can trigger typo reports on one of more of the correct words.

[Arnoldpitt]

I think this and several other answers should give the singular translation of 'you' rather than the plural as the preferred solution. The plural is particularly revolting n this sentence.

[Jellei]

Well, it's even more gross than singular, true. Okay, I guess I can make the plural not a suggested answer anymore.

[TomaszStac10]

"Używałeś" doesn't seem to have any sound when tapped

[Jellei]

On our side, every type of audio exists for "używałeś". Perhaps you had some one-time bug.
