"Επίσης, θέλω ένα ποτήρι νερό."

Translation: Also, I want a glass of water.

[Dmatafonov]

Also, I want one glass of water - why is that wrong?

[troll1995]

Added, thanks!

[beth_is_weird]

Why would 'likewise, i want a cup of water' not be accepted?

[D_..]

Likewise is better translated as παρομοίως; since it describes similarity it's best to keep their translations separate. http://www.wordreference.com/engr/likewise

That's fair. But for me, the exercise previous to this one was something like "Ευχαριστώ, επίσης", which translated to "Thank you, likewise", which caused me some confusion.

[Anna996495]

And for me, likewise

[G.Georgopoulos]

D_..'s explanation is correct, it's probably the other sentence that should have been translated in a different way.

[GiEmmePi]

"a" glass of water should also be right ;)

[mizinamo]

It's best to post the whole sentence you tried, as there are many options accepted for this, most of which accept "a glass of water" as well.

[GiEmmePi]

ok, I understand

[YO9i3]

Why is 'I also want a cup of water' marked wrong?

[D_..]

Possibly because in the original sentence 'also' is away from the rest, divided by a comma? If you can follow the same structure from the original sentence in the translation then a different structure is practically not an alternative but an incorrect translation for that sentence.

Why is "ποτήρι" here cup? Isn't there another word in Greek for cup?

[Dimitra956826]

Κούπα is the direct translation to cup. I guess the original creator had in mind that sometimes, κούπα and ποτήρι are interchangeable. I see your point though. We might keep these two seperate in the new tree. ^.^

Why not "I also want "?
