"אני אוהב ממתקים!"

Translation: I love candy.

[kajsdhiaugduqbj]

Why is lollies not accepted? Does DuoLingo not allow Australian English terms?

[RoseDark94]

Ani ohev mumtakim

*mamtakím

[Dmitry_Arch]

Shouldn't it be "I love candies/sweets"?

[NaftaliFri1]

Yes. You can report if it failed you on that variation.

[Mosalf]

I don't like candies anymore.

[urikelman]

Can you also say אני אוהב סוכריה?

[daswasserfrau]

Sounds unusual.
You can either say :"אני אוהב סוכריות" (I love candy(ies)-in general)
or "אני אוהב את הסוכריה" (I love the candy-talking about a specific candy).

Hope it helped :)

[Larry824711]

What's the actual difference between "ממתקים" and "סוכריות"? They both seem to translate as candies (American English).

[YardenNB]

ll סוכריה is a particular kind of candy. I think it's sugar candy (just learnt this term, but reading a bit in Wikipedia I think this is it).

[NaftaliFri1]

Not very common, but might be used to mean "I like eating/receiving a candy"

[Some_Teeth]

Masculine: /ani ohev mamtakim/

אֲנִי אוֹהֵב מַמְתַּקִּים.

Feminine: /ani ohevet mamtakim/

אֲנִי אוֹהֶבֶת מַמְתַּקִּים.

[zetaware]

Candy or candies?

[YoavDothan]

I think that ממתקים should be translated as candies and not candy

[Nick564259]

Why in Hebrew it is plural (candy's) and in English translation no, it said candy (single)? ממתקים PLURAL ( ים) so why candy?

[YardenNB]

"Candy" in English seems to be both countable and uncountable.

[Atefeh0036]

Shouldn't be "I love candies "?

[ShaunIspas]

is the second mem silent

[danny912421]

No, it isn't.
