"Το παιδί περπατά πάντα στο πεζοδρόμιο."

[Juan_Humaran]

"The child walks always on the sidewalk" should be accepted since it's the literal translation (regarding the most common order)

[JimAthanas1]

'footpath' should also be accepted

[D_..]

Πεζοδρόμιο is always paved while footpaths can be paths of just dirt in the countryside so probably not an ideal translation.

Oh D...huum, I don’t think you are English.

[D_..]

I thought you already knew that! :)

I see now that footpaths may be paved and be by a road, but considering a footpath has a wider range of meanings, including a non-paved path, I still don't think it is an ideal translation. Anything that's not a πεζοδρόμιο is a μονοπάτι (για τους πεζούς). And then you have πεζόδρομος. Arguably, there is some overlap, but I am in favour of separating terms as much as possible because what translation works one way may not work in reverse. ;)

Well, I think Jim is right here. A North American 'sidewalk' is, for most practical purposes, the equivalent of a European-English 'pavement'. So to mark 'sidewalk' as correct but 'pavement' as incorrect seems a bit perverse and unnecessary.

my answer is : The child always walks on the pavewalk
where is the mistake?

[jeanprendiville]

As an English speaker I have never heard the word “ pavewalk”. Yes “pavement”, yes “sidewalk”, yes in England “path” but pavewalk never.

If Duolingo has a different answer It can give me its answer. I believe however that, it can't reject my answer

[MiltiadisA1]

The word pavewalk it isn't mine.The word has been given in another exercise with the translation " πεζοδρομιο"

[Plakakaneis]

Pavewalk is imaginary. Sidewalk is American
