"Sim, é simples."

Translation: Yes, it is simple.

[Fintan]

should it not be" é SIMPLE"??

[WandyT]

Hi Fintan! That sentence is correct

simple (English) = simples (portuguese)

[JulixQuid]

Como é o plural de "simples"?

[Danmoller]

Simples, o plural de simples é simples.

[Pazuzuz]

Why can't I say "yes, it's easy"?

[Danmoller]

Easy = fácil.
Simple = easy.

There is a lot of mixing between them, but simple things might be still hard.

[Tantela]

Why

not easy

[JoseQu]

Hi
Easy = fácil
Simple = simples

[KTKee-EnglishEng]

Never been more disappointed by a pronunciation in my life.

[Danmoller]

?? Why is that?

[KTKee-EnglishEng]

Because this is how we say it in England. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hl545RF6dXA

[Danmoller]

I'm not sure the robot can make that "aaaw" at the end.... :p

[Gotta_Ramble]

Duolingo doesnt accept "yeah" in place of yes, is there a less formal version of "sim" in portuguese?

[Paulenrique]

We simply say "sim"... so common =/

[Muddogging1]

Is there any particular reason that "simple" (ENG) is "simples" (POR)? The Portuguese words has an "s", so shouldn't it at least be plural, then?

[Paulenrique]

"Simples" is a unique work and doesn not change for singular/plural or masculine/feminine.

[barbaratorrance]

simple and easy mean the same thing

[CynamonF]

If I were to say, "The girl is simple" verses "The girl is easy" they would have different meanings in that context. When translating, it's best to try and stay as close to the original translation as possible even if you could substitute other words.

[marcusth2019]

However, in THIS case "easy" would be appropriate, because the subject is not necessarily "girl".

[oyttb]

Not at all. Simple and easy are most certainly not the same thing. For example, you could say that learning something like anatomy is simple. After all, you just have to memorize a bunch of facts. It's a very straightforward (simple) process. However, nobody would say that it is EASY, because there are a LOT of anatomical terms, many of them are confusing and easy (not simple) to learn, etc.
