Yes, when the word for "wine" was first introduced, it was just "rượu". If "wine" is ACTUALLY "rượu vang", then present it thay way from the start!! We can handle it!!
They should still accept the answer without vang, because rượu has been defined as wine previously.
Rượu is for any drinks contain alcohol, excluding beer and cocktail. Rượu vang is wine, alcoholic beverage that is made of grapes. There is also rượu vang nếp, a rice wine in Vietnam, which can be considered as wine.
I wish for the part where they introduce the word using pictures they said "rượu vang" instead of just "rượu"
Yes, but you know they are making a ton of money off the plus subscriptions.
why do you not introduce wine as rượu vang instead of just rượu i dont understand the thought process behind this
Duolingo uses just "rượu" themselves in the other examples and questions for "wine". It would be really cool if this was consistent. Either always use "rượu" for "wine" in other places, but then accept it here as an answer or use "rượu vang" in all the other questions for "wine". This way it's just really confusing and frustrating and I still don't know if Vietnamese would use just "rượu" for "wine", too, or if that is always just "alcohol" :-(
Let us say that ruou was cool as a drink, now "ruou vang" will go like Yeah some red booze ! We can handle that in our brains !
At the beginning of the lesson, wine was introduced as rượu. In this answer, only "rượu vang" is accepted. There was no explanation of the new usage in the lessons.
