"Ο καφέ του πρωινού είναι νόστιμο." might be a more useful sentence using stuff we should already know. (I am hoping this means: "The breakfast coffee is delicious.")
See Stergi3's comment down below. He says "νόστιμος" is for solid food.
You have answered your own question. :-). For new words, you need only hover over it and the translation will drop down. Best wishes on your Greek-leaning journey ταξίδι. We're here to help.
Παρακαλώ. We are happy to do it and very much appreciate your kind words.

Νόστιμος for solid food. For coffee you can just say, ο καφές του πρωινού είναι καλός, that is, tasty

Is this a sentence or part of . I'm English and never heard of ' of the breakfast ' . Had headphones on and heard " το πρωινο " unfortunately did not check the text , why should I , ' of the breakfast ' indeed .
It will help if you read some of the other comments on this page. You should also know that every exercise on Duolingo does not consist of a full sentence. We could use "of the breakfast" in a variety of sentences. The audio clearly says "του πρωινού" which is important because this skill is teaching the genitive.

sounded like - το πρωινο - and is - of the breakfast - considered a full sentence with a meaning ?
The pronunciation is correct. "του πρωινού" is "two pro ee new" whereas "το πρωινο" is "toe pro ee know" To listen to native speakers you can try:
I think you already know this is not a full sentence. And if you had read the other comments on this page you'd have seen it's been discussed before. It's always a good idea to read the comments.
Yes, without context it's not clear, therefore we have both as correct.
Honestly most of the English translations of these sentences are nonsensical. Of the breakfast? Den Katalava! Instead of trying to understand and learn the language I'm stuck trying to figure out the random English equivalent >.>
Sometimes there is no word for word translation with many foreign languages. I think you just try to get a sense of the meaning, go with the flow, accept and don't get hung up about it.
It's unfair to characterize something as "nonsensical" in a course that is older than its current team is. As it is often the case in life, you can either choose to dislike this specific exercise or keep a positive attitude and seize the opportunity to see an example of the genitive case, which is a fundamental part of Greek grammar. As you go further down the tree, you'll see that this course has lots to offer. This kind of sentences can be part of short dialogues.
Happy learning!
That's fair, I meant no disrespect. It can just be a little frustrating to understand what is being said but not figure out how the course itself wants me to present that information. Obviously it is just part and parcel of learning in this manner. Overall I appreciate the hard work put into these language courses.

Is this a whole or proper sentence in Greek . As a person of many years this is a new one on me .
No, of course not. If you read the other comments on the page you'll find your question has been answered. There is also some other useful information here.
But this is something that is never said. Silly!!!!!
These are just exercises designed to teach vocabulary and syntax there are thousands of words and even more thousands of sentences.
It doesn't make much of a sense. Should've expanded this sentence with more stuff
It's just meant to be an expression to add to the others that show you how to use the Genitive case in Greek. There are many phrases throughout Duo without full meanings.
Το πρωινού - the breakfast’s - as sensible a translation as - of the breakfast. Not accepted by Duo. Am I wrong?
