"I am dreaming about a green lion."

Translation: Εγώ ονειρεύομαι ένα πράσινο λιοντάρι.

[Bohuslav1]

So the word "about" is encompassed within ονειρεύομαι? Can you say ονειρεύομαι για ένα πράσινο λιοντάρι?

[Phil682961]

...just like the ones I used to know

[Plakakaneis]

About is used a lot in English. Is it normal for it to be silent in Greek?

And if we use a word for about, such as those listed in the hints (για, απο, etc) is it wrong, clumsy or okay?

[troll1995]

In Greek you don't dream about a lion (you just dream a lion), and that's why in this particular case (with this verb) the about must be silent. Ιn other cases such as "talk about" για is necessary "μιλάω για".

[Atena_Ileana]

The hints should show that (dreaming about = ονειρεύομαι).

Yes, sorry. I've added it. Many thanks.

[jeanprendiville]

Marked wrong, I checked the spelling very carefully but the only difference was the "εγώ". I took a screen shot but I don't know how to add it.

[jaye16]

Thank you. Yes, you're right we had the "Εγώ" translation as the preferred. I've changed it to an alternative. I'm sorry I haven't gotten to this level in reviews so you may find more errors. I appreciate your feedback; it is a great help. Don't even ask me about my adventures with screen shots. :-)))

Thnaks, I enjoy playing a small part in refining a great programme.

[Dzenne1]

I have exactly the same problem. Everything is the same in my answer as the one above, but I left Εγώ out.

[Dzenne1]

Okay, there must be some kind of bug in my browser or the program, because now I answered with Εγώ and the program still says my answer is wrong - although doesn't underline me any word as incorrect. I even copied the given correct answer and gave it, and it's still wrong.

[jaye16]

As you can see from the other posts "Εγώ" is not the issue. Our Incubator shows the sentence with or without "εγώ" as correct. The problem seems to be a glitch/bug in the Duobot. You should report this directly to Duo.

If you could include a screenshot it would go a long way to resolving this.

[Clem.Fandango]

Just so you know, the glitch you mention is still happening. I've contacted support via the link you mentioned and have sent a screenshot as requested.

[Alison336345]

I have translated exactly as above "Εγω ονειρευομαι ενα πρασινο λιονταρι" and am being repeatedly given WRONG ANSWER???

[Dimitra956826]

That might be because there is a complete lack of accents in your answer, so there is more than one word containing a typo. Try to add the necessary accents next time!
