"הכנסייה נמצאת במרכז העיר."

Translation: The church is in the city center.

[houthakker72]

Should probably also accept:

The church is in the centre of the city

[YuvalMishory]

"The church is in the center of town" - not accepted, March 2021 :-(

I don't think it should be accepted. There are at least two issues with your translation. First, since מרכז העיר is definite, you'd need to say "the center of the town", or even better "the town center". Second issue, עיר is better translated as "city" and not "town", which is how this course consistently translates this word.

[clement2609]

Just like the Turkish word merkez

[Ricard1986]

And the Persian word merkaz

[AnAlex77]

How would you say, "in the middle of the city"?

[danny912421]

באמצע העיר

[Ricard1986]

Why not 'ba merkaz' as it is definite (at least in English)

[danny912421]

Because it is in construct state מרכז עיר - city center, and in construct state only the second word gets ה, so even when it is definite, it will alway be be-merkaz.
