"Mwezi wa tano"

Translation: May

[EdwardThor2]

Why doesn't Duolingo accept "the fifth month"?

[Gazelle1596]

Either because it is not commonly used in English, while it is in Kiswahili
OR because it is still in beta - report it next time.

[MaayanBenZ]

Fifth moon = May? Is it the same for the whole 12 months?

[dieprinzessin]

Some things are surprisingly easy while others are surprisingly complicated (like saying a date and a time) :-)

[Gazelle1596]

Yes, you may say "mwezi wa tano" (the fifth month) OR "(mwezi wa) Mei" for May :)
