"Το παιδί τρώει το κοτόπουλο και ένα αυγό."

Translation: The child is eating the chicken and an egg.

[Arancaytar]

But which got eaten first?

[AbhinavSun8]

I think the chicken cuz when they were going to eat the chicken, the chicken probably laid a egg and after the chicken was eaten and then was the time for the egg

[yoanann]

Is it correct if I translate this sentence as "the child eats chicken and an egg"?

[farukofaruko]

That is how I translated it and I think it should be accepted, so I reported it as such.

[Gabriela-X]

How can you report ? Can it be done from the mobile app ?

[D_..]

Is there no report button on the app? Also, which app: iOS or Android?

My answer "the child is eating the chicken and an egg" was rejected. Wouldn't το be translated literally to the?

[G.Georgopoulos]

That's already the given translation. Could it be that you mistyped something? It's better if users send us a screenshot so that we make sure they've submitted the right answer ;)

[Jon345104]

The child eats a chicken and an egg was marked wrong ??

[carnivorix]

Because το κοτόπουλο is the chicken, not a chicken.
το =/= ένα

[Andrew1971]

For not translating this sentence as the continuous, it has been marked as wrong.
Would a moderator please check this?

So does trwei works both for "is eating" and "eats", what's the distinction here. Also do countable and uncountable nouns work the same way English does?

[mizinamo]

So does trwei works both for "is eating" and "eats"

Yes. Greek does not make this distinction in its grammar.

[Colin766467]

I translated τρώει as ' eats' and got marked wrong. Why??

Another issue -- I did three Greek lessons on my Colin 766467 account and in each case was not credited witjh the XPs earned nor did I have having done the lessons count to my streak. What is going on?

[jaye16]

If you are asking if "eats" also acceptable...yes it is. So, if your sentence was rejected it was not due to "eats". But just showing us one word makes it impossible to determine why your sentence was rejected.
