"Kobieta nie odpowiedziała."

Translation: The woman has not answered.

[AdamMlodoz]

So odpowiedziala, can't be respond?

[immery]

I think it should be "responded" but duolingo often on both courses (Pl-/Eng Eng-/Pl )rejects my "respond" and I report them.

[coffeyj]

"The woman didn't respond" in the negative. It would be "the woman respondED" in the positive though.

[DavidLindon]

It can't be the "woman has not answered"?

[Jellei]

Well, not really without an article.

[stramner]

The pronunciation of the "odpowiedziala", specifically the part "...dzia..." sounds like "dza" to me. Is that supposed to sound like that?

[Jellei]

I hear it palatalized, as it should: 'dzia'.

[Joel191081]

Maybe this is obvious, but remember that the trigraph dzi is a positional variant of dź, itself a digraph, and represents a single consonant sound.

[DenisovVA]

Why 'answered' is not correct?

[Jellei]

'answered' is the main answer that I see.

[DavidLeibe2]

i put 'the woman did not answer' and it was not accepted. Is that not past perfect?- How is it distinguished from 'the woman has not answered'?

[alik1989]

It's an accepted answer.

Past perfect would have been 'the woman had not answered', which is also accepted.
