This is the origin of the word "zone" in English and other European languages

    "I don't use the seatbelt", "I don't use a seatbelt", "I don't wear a seatbelt" - none are accepted. It was worth a try though :-D

      First time we've had a wrong answer because it was illegal. :-)

          Why is there no indefinite article (μία) with ζώνη?

            you may omit it. it's for more of a natural flow in speech.

              Le pluriel de ζώνη n'est-il pas ζώνες ? The plural of ζώνη is not ζώνες ?

                Oui, le pluriel de ζώνη est ζώνες mais Duo traduit ζώνη comme "belts" dans cette phrase.

                    Ok, this is unclear. Tip says "I don't wear a belt" while answer says "I don't wear belts". Which one is correct?

                    "Εγώ δεν φορούν ζώνη" vs. "Εγώ δεν φοράω ζώνη".

                    1st person singular is φοράω, not φορούν(that is 3rd person plural of φορώ). Φοράω & φορώ are equal, two alternative forms.

                        It is singular, the plural would be οι ζώνες. It's just used here to mean 'belts' as a whole but you could say δεν φοράω ζώνες too I believe.

                          I'm using the Android app and it shows to me a card that says ζώνη could be belts, which I believe is wrong.
