"Te voy a presentar a un amigo argentino."

Translation: I am going to introduce you to an Argentinian friend.

[Naypam]

Really bloody annoying when you type everything out and realize you read too quickly and mistook a "mi" for an "un" or a "eso" for an "el". Argggh!

"I'm going to introduce you to my Argentinian friend". Nope!

[TrentBrandie]

I did the same. Its not word for word but it definitely has to be a correct translation. How can a friend not be your friend? You would never say I am going to introduce you to someone else's friend.

[rmcgwn]

When i make a minor error like that I use a heart refill.

[IG88]

Glad I'm not alone.

[richardgordon]

How do you know whether this is "I am going to introduce you to an Argentine friend" or "I am going to introduce an Argentine friend to you"?

[lubyleslie]

I lost a heart for using Argentine instead of Argentinian. I am going to introduce to you an Argentine friend . was marked wrong.

[PamelaHolland]

Me , too, The word argentine is commonly used in the U,K

[Curt391905]

And in the U.S. The word is usually pronounced "ar-jen-TINE". Reference WordReference.com:

Ar•gen•tine (är′jən tēn′, -tīn′), n.
a native or inhabitant of Argentina.

[zmjb1]

Me too.

[amymarietruax]

dougconnah is correct. If it was the other way around, it would be "Le voy a presentar un amigo argentino a ti." it's all about the indirect objects!

[dougconnah]

I would think that because "te" is the indirect object and "a" is the silent-in-English "personal a" the correct translation would be "introduce an Argentine friend to you." But not having had to translate it yet, I don't know whether Duo accepts this as well.

[TezraB]

I wrote "I am going to present you an Argentinean friend." It marked me wrong (saying ...you to an...). But doesn't their "correct answer" make you a direct object?

And if te is a direct object, then wouldn't they need an indirect object since they are mandatory?

[DavidHagstrom]

I was marked wrong for that translation.

[TrentBrandie]

I think for this "te" is the direct object. It is the person having the action done to them. So I will introduce you.

[Enderboss]

No you did not. thats impossible cause I just did that and did not lose any hearts. musta been something else cause argentine is correct

[ohhhlive]

I have the same question :\

[kiddo-depido]

I think that you can't notice that in english

[Jostaffe]

I did the same thing. Why is the second way wrong?

[JBranch1998]

Change the mistake! It should accept Argentine by now. It does on other exercises, every other one where I have put it actually. Why not this one?

[ShirinaIsm]

I wrote i am going to present to you my argentinian friend. To present is the same as introduce.....

[susitrav]

Why isn't " I will introduce....." okay?

[Kevin164972]

I get it right but says I'm wrong

[Kevin164972]

I'm switching to Rosetta

[dimond223]

Plz don't duo wants you

[dimond223]

I don't really like Rosetta anymore
