    2 solutions were given. one has pandas as plural. The other has pandas as singular. is this correct? Is pandas singular or plural?

      I just checked. There's only one answer with plural pandas. I don't see the singular one plus the singular panda is not correct in this case.

        Where does the "quy" suddenly come from? Is it a classifier for animals?

          Maybe "quy" also implies a plural since another correct Duolingo answer is "... những con gấu trúc" which uses the standard "con" classifier for animals but with plural "những"?

              translate: She loves the pandas. my answer: Cô ấy yêu những gấu trúc. reply: You used the wrong word. Cô ấy yêu "thương" gấu trúc. translation above in this discussion: Cô ấy yêu những con gấu trúc.

              Even the translation given in this discussion matches mine better than the different translation used to correct mine.

              "the" requires "con"? And it is incorrect if "Pandas are nice."
