"The student asked a question."

Translation: Ο μαθητής ρώτησε μία ερώτηση.

[dimitris152]

In Greek we use the verb "κάνω" when it comes to questions!!

[jaye16]

Very good observation. In the English to Greek option "έκανε" is included. We can't change the Greek to English since it is locked. Perhaps, later we'll be able to edit it. Thank you.

[xDimitris7]

what about έθεσε;

[jaye16]

That is a good alternative and will be added.

[alexiskavouras]

it is not grammatically correct to say "ρωτάω μια ερώτηση" because it is pleonasm. Instead we say "κάνω μια ερώτηση" or you can just say "ρωτάω"

[jaye16]

Yes, the new tree uses: "έκανε/έθεσε".

[Rich717872]

Yes, I thought in previous chapters (present tense ones) it was like you said. Glad to see my intuition was correct.

[I.Schmidt1]

the student can be a woman or a man. So i also can translate Η σπουδαστής ρώτησε μια ερώτηση.

[I.Schmidt1]

i found my mistake the female student is η σπουδάστρια
sorry

[jaye16]

Yes, your observation is correct and you will find the following vocabulary has been accepted for over 4 months:

Ο μαθητής/Η μαθήτρια/Ο φοιτητής/Η φοιτήτρια/Ο σπουδαστής/Η σπουδάστρια] [ρώτησε/έκανε] [μία/μια] [ερώτηση/απορία].

For a total of 49 possible sentences and we thank all the learners for helping improve and enrich the course. Keep up the good work.

You still have to add μία in this sentence. This should be optional.

[D_..]

It's not really optional though. The indefinite article is not always omitted. I think it would sound really weird to drop it in this case.

[DarrylSmit8]

In that case it would make sense to leave out the tonos, though

[Qryb]

"μιαν ερώτηση" was considered a typo. Shouldn't it be accepted?

[Photios-NYC]

Is this actually idiomatic Greek? In most languages where the word "ask" and the word "question" come from the same root, a different verb is used. This is the case in Spanish, German, French and Russian ("hacer una pregunta" / "Eine Frage stellen" / "poser une question" / "задать вопрос")

[D_..]

As the previous comments indicate, this is not the standard way of expressing this in Greek.
