"The nice popcorn"

Translation: το καλό ποπ κορν

[TobyBartels]

Why did ‘popcorn’ become two words in Greek? Neither of these has a meaning by itself, do they?

[troll1995]

It became two words to actually represent the two "accents" popcorn has. If accents were written in English, it would be something like pópcórn, so in Greek you have to write ποπ κορν, so that both pop and corn are accented. ;)

What's the difference between "νόστιμο" and "ωραίο"? When should either be used?

[Sophia_dr123]

"νόστιμο" means "tasty"
"ωραίο" means "nice" or "beautiful"
So you use "νόστιμο" for something eatable and "ωραίο" for something or someone that you like. You can use it for a thing (ωραίο παντελόνι = nice trousers), characteristics (ωραία ματιά = nice/beautiful eyes), the weather (ωραία μέρα = beautiful day) etc..

[Sophia_dr123]

Oh! And you can also use "ωραίο" for food if you like.

How can i get the greek typing

[CanSimit]

You can download keyboards from different app stores.

[LendMeName]

CA/US keyboard, type: to kalo pop korn
Greek keyboard, type: to kal;o pop korn
(English to Greek)

[Hilary666874]

Why is ωραίο wrong? Το καλό ποπ κορν means “good popcorn” doesn’t it?

[Sophia_dr123]

Yes it does. But "ωραίο" means "nice"/"beautiful", not "good"

Horrible sound quality, unclear and muffled! Bring back the female voice!

[jaye16]

Thank you for reporting this. There is a new audio system being tested and there are some errors. The technical staff is working on corrections.

[Hilary666874]

I like the male voice! I feel like I’m in Greece when I hear him speak...

[Sue675968]

My typewriter does not have Greek letters?

I was told on another comment that if you leave a space where there shouldn't be one but the answer is otherwise all correct, DuoLingo would not penalise. Seems I was misinformed.

[jaye16]

I often tell learners that Duolingo doesn't penalize for incorrect punctuation, capitalization, accents, and even has lee way for certain spelling errors and of course typos. But I have never said nor heard that "if you leave a space where there shouldn't be one but the answer is otherwise all correct, DuoLingo would not penalize". However, it is not impossible.

If you are saying that you believe your sentence was rejected due to an extra space..I"m speculating here since you don't give much info...then you should have left a REPORT.

1. Make that Report> Check the comment above yours for learning tips as well as how to make a Report.

2. Please give us the reference to where you were informed that leaving a space would not result in your sentence being rejected, so we can check it and possibly correct it.
