Really? "Recognised" is not accepted? Please put some effort into these because it's almost unbearably annoying at these higher levels.

If you find similar stuff again you should report it. Duo has been conceived in American English, but British English should be accepted as well.

You bet. Actually 'recognized' is 18th century British English :-)

'recognised' now accepted. But there are still lots of correct alternatives they reject ...

Is this an irregular verb? I thought it would be "riconosciuto" because it's paired with avere, not with essere.

In present perfect the verb agrees with the direct object if it is placed before the verb. So "They have recognized the girl" would be "Hanno riconosciuto la ragazza", but "Mi hanno riconosciuta" if the speaker is female. It is the same rule as in French.

Very unatural sounding sentence. We'd say "did they recognise me" not "have"

What if you are undercover and you wonder if you have been recognized ☺
8th July 2014 - still marking 'recognised' wrong - despite what one comment says below...
Couldn't it be "Have they recognized me?" Last time I checked it could just as easily be "Loro (polite you) hanno" as loro (they) hanno. Not as common but still...

Since RECONOSCIUTA ends with an A, is it a female asking the question ? What if it's a male asking the question, do you then use the word RECONOSCIUTO ?
i wrote "mi ha non riconosciuta" and it wasn't accepted hehe...

You misheard, but if it were to be correct, it would have been: .... mi non ha riconosciuta

"Mi hanno riconosciuta" could be (assuming I'm right) either "have they ... ?" OR "they have ..." So how do we tell which is intended? Is this a tone of voice thing?
