"το γράμμα λ"
Translation:The letter l

Why on earth wouldn't "το γράμμα λάμδα" be accepted? The grading here makes no sense.
Οn mine it says “type what you hear” and then “type in Greek”, so I typed in «το γράμμα λάμδα» and it said incorrect.
It asked my to write what is read in Greek and my answer το γράμμα λάμδα was marked wrong.
It looks right so I don't know what the problem was. You should have made a Report so we can see what's going on.
The app is ambiguous between wanting an answer that is 'το γραμμα λ' OR 'το γράμμα λάμδα'. Sometimes its the further, sometimes the latter with no apparent way to tell upfront other than guess!
When the listening exercise says "lamda" how am I supposed to know that the answer is supposed to be "λ" and not "λάμδα"?
The letter "lamda/lambda" spelled out in Greek is: "λάμδα". The "δ" letter, delta, is pronounced more like the English hard "th" (the/that/this). It is my guess that is what the automated voice is trying to pronounce

I hear lamda. Sometimes I must write λ, and sometimes λαμδα. If it not the ''good'', my answer is false. But how could I do ?
I just had two 'write what you hear' exercises in a row. They both said the same thing, so when on the first I typed ' το γράμμα λάμδα' and it was incorrect because it wanted 'το γράμμα λ', the next time I typed 'το γράμμα λ' and it was incorrect because it had wanted 'το γράμμα λάμδα'!
If you're typing I it is wrong because you're typing the wrong letter. You're typing the capital i, not the small l.

When the listening exercise says "lamda" how am I supposed to know that the answer is supposed to be "λ" and not "λάμδα"? This problem is still not fixed!!!!! With the listening exercise the speaker says "λάμδα" whether she intends one to answer "λ" or "λάμδα" and what she wants is very random as she swaps from one intended answer to the other. Most frustrating.

this is already explained on this page. Please always read the comments.
I have reported that 'το γράμμα λάμδα' (which is what I heard) was not accepted - let's hope it will be soon!
This is BS! Putting λ works for some but others which are the exact same question but it expects λαμδα. Needs fixed.
If you had read the other comments on this page you will have seen this:

You will soon be getting the New Greek Tree which doens'tn have this proglem.
This is ridiculous. How can you possibly hear whether it's the single letter or the letter spelled phonetically?
I followed the instruction to type what I heard, and I heard Greek. There was no instruction to translate, so my answer was marked wrong. Small point I suppose, but unnecessarily confusing when from now on I have to wonder if the instruction on the screen is the correct one.
