"Tu mergi cu calul?"

Translation: Do you go with the horse?

[FilipFilip17]

Does this sentence only mean “you walk beside a horse” or can it also mean “you go on horseback”?

[DavidRomanH]

I think it's more the latter, duolingo seems to think merge is walk, rather than go.

[BenYoung84]

Or are you dating the horse :)

[R.White]

"Do you go with the horse?" was accepted, so I guess the latter, even if the grammar doesn't sound perfect in English

[LukeMadhan]

Would 'Do you walk with the horse' be correct too?

[JosephSyre]

a mergi means only to go, so if you want to say walk, you'll have to use a different verb like a umbla

[ArguingInElvish]

Hmm... I wrote, "You walk with the horse?" and it was marked correct. What do you think?

[JosephSyre]

not sure, i think you are right

[deactivated user]

This sentence is like "Mergi cu mașina?". So I'm guessing in most contexts this sentence means to ask whether you travel by horse.

[cosmo-pedant]

Linley2 - That was my gut reaction also. And, per my small dictionary, I do see that "to go" includes the concept of "a umbla", by the way, but I cannot even find "a umbla" therein.

"to ride a horse" / to go is wrong verb to use in English

[Jofi572068]

In my opinion the question is not if go or walk. I ask myself, if it means go/walk aside a horse or ride a horse.
What do you think?
