"Embe ni tunda"

Translation: A mango is a fruit

[btopps]

Any reason you can't say "Mango is fruit"?

[Gita-ji]

How about 'A mango is a fruit'? Not successful :-(

[jo2dSY]

I'd say that's not a great translation as to me in English both the "mango" and"fruit" in that answer have a group/uncountable meaning, whereas I believe the Swahili is clearly singular, hence "a mango is a fruit" would be a better translation...

I'd say mango is a fruit or a mango is a fruit is better English

[Ghalib962002]

A mango is a fruit is better English _ or at least equivalent

[Ghalib962002]

Mango is a fruit is reported wtong!

[EdwardThor2]

The approved translation "mango is fruit" is dubious English.

I'm trying to give Duo the benefit of the doubt, cuz it's free and all. But the Swahili is a hot mess with the inclusion and non-inclusion of a/the. Maybe they should just always accept articles before nouns.

In English, you can say "A mango is fruit." Means the same thing. This should be corrected in Duolingo!
