"Το τρένο είναι εκεί."

Translation: The train is there.

[Lng52-._]

Can "εκεί" also mean "over there"?

[Kadmos_Thebes]

Yes. You can also say: Το τρένο είναι εκεί πέρα.

[Kadmos_Thebes]

Εκεί είναι το τρένο. Another possible option for "The train is there."

[Artemios3]

"Το τραίνο είναι εκεί" is not accepted here.
Can't you write it both ways?

[Dimitra956826]

This one is already an accepted translation. Are you sure that everything else in your sentence was correct? No mixed up keyboards or anything like that? ^.^

[mizinamo]

Since this sentence discussion is a Greek-to-English translation exercise, if Artemios had to write Greek, I think it was a listening exercise -- and I don't think those can have multiple spellings unfortunately.

[Dimitra956826]

Oh. If it was indeed a listening exercise, that's another story.

[Artemios3]

I don't think so. I'll try it again next time.
Anyway, thanks a lot.

[Dimitra956826]

You're welcome. If the problem remains, feel free to let us know and report the sentence. ^.^

[fede.for]

same problem here. τραίνο not accepted

[joe_t4]

Αμαξοστοιχία = passenger train........άμαξα = carriage or coach.....

[Jon345104]

In a previous question i answered train as τραίνο was marked correct is there two spellings

[Dimitra956826]

Τρένο and τραίνο are both correct spellings, but in listening exercises, only one spelling can be accepted.

[Sophia890995]

Why?

[troll1995]

Because that's how the Duolingo program works.

[robert672165]

But I can still "report" that my answer should have been accepted. Actually, I think the program WAS modified.

Το τραινο ειναι εκει....what is wrong with this

[Colin766467]

<pre> Can you decide if 'train' is 'τρένο' or 'τραινο' or both.but mark consitently </pre>

[D_..]

It's both. If you find an answer you have provided was rejected just because of that, please submit a REPORT. There are thousands of entries in the database, and it is possible that some alternative answers have been missed here and there. Also, moderators don't decide anything so submit a REPORT; reports go to the incubator where course contributors can process them. ;)

[Colin766467]

In the same learning module the word ' train' was given correctly once as τραίνο (Write the Greek for 'the train' )and above as τρένο. (The train is there). I used το τραίνο in both sentences and was given one correct mark and one incorrect. Are both right? If so, why mark me incorrect for one and correct for the other?

[D_..]

Both spellings are correct, τρένο being the newer one. If one was marked incorrect, it's an omission in the answers list, so please use the REPORT option if you come across this irregularity again. :)

[Norman921621]

Same problem: τραίνο is not accepted as correct

[D_..]

Was that a listening exercise?
