"左あしはいたくないです。"

Translation: My left leg does not hurt.

[Tony797894]

It's trippy since あし could be foot or leg depending on the kanji...

[AnCatDubh]

Mmhm! 足 for foot, 脚 for leg.

[John863934]

Lol they said to find the word meaning leg but used the picture and kanji for foot

[Desmond7900]

Biggest gripe about Duolingo

[Drunken_Sailor]

Once I heard that some Japanese people (probably kids) write it in hiragana to not mess up the kanji.

左足は痛くないです

[PeaceAndWar208]

This should be 左脚は痛くないです
(foot)足 ≠ 脚(leg)

"My left leg doesn't hurt."

My right leg on the other hand, appears to have been bitten off at the knee by a Great White Shark. Might I have an aspirin, by any chance? Cheers.

[BryanCorbin]

I feel like "my leg" is better than "the leg" here.

[SalvarezLugo]

What about a nurse telling a doctor about a patient's leg?

[scd817]

If there is no subject or context, the subject is usually myself (I or Me or My).

[MarkSmith148943]

Exactly. The leg in reference would be rarely said or thought. That would imply some else's leg which doesn't fit the Japanese. Or a displacement mentality of regarding your own leg as an object.

[ThomMerril]

Leg should be accepted imho

[melink14]

Leg was accepted for me

[bauercali]

Since the word is pronounced the same how do you specify to someone else if you hurt your leg vs your foot?

[AulaitQM]

左足はいたくないです　is marked wrong, even though the very first thing taught in this lesson was the kanji for leg

[floomo]

"Pain don't hurt."
