"The grandfather eats the bird."

Translation: Der Großvater isst den Vogel.

[cactusfloyd]

My grandfather eats birds all the time LOL

[envacance]

Mine did. They were mostly chickens, but I would imagine that he ate turkeys, perhaps ducks, and maybe even squab.

[richardalan73]

One of my options was "Den Hund isst der Großvater" ._.

[littleblueduck]

I had der Bär! Typical Duo.

[VoiceStar]

My surname is Bär.

[littleblueduck]

I believe it's not used with an article if it's a name.

[thing111]

Why is it den not der before vlogel

[dreamspeak]

Yes, Vogel here is in the accusative.

[tardisco]

Vogel is masculine, and it's in the accusative, so it changes to den. :)

[WrongUserName]

Nice streak.

[RubenRamos13]

I think it's because of acusative. I'm not sure tho

[Shen_xiao13]

I have the same Q

[Eis_ist_Beste]

I hope the feathers don't get stuck in his dentures...

[KatyMarieSwiere]

What's the difference between frisst and isst?

[TheDreadfulGuy]

Man würde ''Fressen'' mit Tiere benutzen, zum Beispiel:
• Der Hund frisst das Fleisch.
• Die Pferde fressen Äpfel.
Auf der anderen Seite, würde man ''Essen'' benutzen wenn man über Menschen spricht, zum Beispiel:
• Der Arzt isst keinen Apfel.
• Die Eltern essen keine Orangen.
Ich hoffe diese Erklärung hilft...

Can someone please tell me how totype the letter beta? I am using the android app btw

[lieryan]

German Eszett is ß, while Greek Beta is β. Their glyphs may look superficially similar but they are not the same letter. German Eszett does not have a tail and does not have an uppercase form and it originates as the merging of the letters ſ (long s) and ʒ (tailed z), representing the sound for "voiceless alveolar fricative" (the "s" sound). Greek Beta is the lowercase form of the letter B, representing the sound for "voiced bilabial plosive" (the "b" sound) or the "voiced labiodental fricative" (the "v" sound).

[RuslanBes]

Press-Hold the "s". Beta is almost equivalent to double-s, so normally it is there (tested on Xperia Z and Samsung)

[Eis_ist_Beste]

If you don't have it you can just type double s

[Wilma913371]

Try to push the letter S for a second, it is usually under that sign.

[RubenRamos13]

Change the dictionary of your keyboard (of your cellphone) to Deutsch and then keep 's' button pressed and the symbol should appear. :)

[Emooooooooo]

God damn it. Just press ctrl, alt and the letter s at the same time.

[deavedz]

Hold the keypad for umlaut

[JohnWriter]

Is it an idiom ?

[Ablako]

Why "Opa" is not correct?

[lucyyschh]

Opa ist ein Spitzname für Großvater. Meine beste Vermutung ist, Duo will man es buchstäblich zu bekommen richtig. Opa is a nickname for Grandfather. My best guess is Duo wants you to get it literally correct and know the correct term.
