"It's not my fault that you're stupid."

Translation: זה לא אשמתי שאתה מטומטם.

[Eden.Gottl]

*זאת

[kingal037]

they explained in a different post that zot is the correct way to say it, but ze is used colloquially

[EranBarLev]

I wouldn't use זה instead of זאת. I don't want to sound like someone from the market.

[TeribleT]

Ze lo ashmati she'ata metumtam¹.

¹ Fun fact, this word is in the urban dictionary!

[Menasheh]

Do you need the זה?

[BezalelP]

You can use this sentence also without the זה.

[EranBarLev]

I wrote "לא אשמתי שאתה מטומטם" but it was marked wrong, even though the זה is totally optional.

Update: "לא אשמתי שאתה טיפש" is rejected too. :( Reported!

דואו, לא אשמתי שאתה מטומטם! >:-(

[Theresa754142]

What does דואה mean? Reverso said gliding...do’e.

[Katya581881]

It’s Duo :)

[Theresa754142]

אוקיי, ‏תודה!

[EranBarLev]

I wrote דוּאוֹ = Duo. Not דוֹאה, which indeed means "glide" in present tense singular.

[Katya581881]

זאת לא האשמה שלי שאתה טיפש

[natalieleh1]

אשמה היא מילה נקבי ולכן
זו
או זאת
ולא
זה

[LSadun]

Why is "my fault" אשמתי rather than האשמה שלי?

[KMG1234567890]

Are both acceptable or is אשמתי idiomatically the only version used?

[EranBarLev]

Both are acceptable, but אשמתי is more common.

[VivekRaman7]

Not sure why this is not accepted

זה לא האשמה שלי שאתה טיפש

[Katya581881]

if I remember this lesson correctly, duo just wants you to use the structure אשמתי. I don't see any other mistakes in your sentence

[JeromeBerg4]

so what is the difference between טיפש and מטומתם

[EranBarLev]

Usually מטומטם is used when you're mad at someone, while טיפש doesn't necessarily express anger. For example I would use טיפש to describe an old phone which is not a smart phone, but I wouldn't describe it as מטומטם. In this sentence both are OK and should be accepted.

[Katya581881]

מטומטם*
i do not think there is some huge difference, they are synonymous

[JeromeBerg4]
