"いろいろほしいです。"

Translation: I want all sorts of things.

[TerryWallwork]

Would the sentence:

I want various things.

Be an acceptable translation?

[V2Blast]

Yes, that would be fine.

[Sindorius]

I feel like it would, but I'm no expert.

[darthoctopus]

色々欲しいです

[sotnosen93]

色々/いろいろ is usually written in kana and not kanji however.

[Sunishia]

a more realistic translation if this to english is "i want many things" which is what i originally typed. i understand various is a more specific answer, but seeing how duolingo has been picky about certain translation answers, yet uses them with their fluid uses in example sentences, i really wish they would expand the possible "correct" answers, so new learners don't get confused and can learn to speak japanese more realistically.

[somnule]

Make a report that says your answer should be accepted. They've done this several times for me.

[Paul678008]

Quantity is not the same as type.

[blakelouis91]

Thank you for putting into words what frustrates me about Duolingo.

[LaikAFK]

Ive got gadgets and gizmos a-plenty,
Ive got whose-its and what's-its galore
You want thingamabobs? I've got twenty!
But who cares? No big deal,
もっと色々が欲しいよ～♪

[hollt693]

I almost said "I want ALL THE THINGS!"

[NessDan]

Why would they throw in thing and things! >_<

[RWang2017]

Why doesn't DL accept "I want all kinds of things"?

[zanzaboonda]

How about "I want a variety?" (E.g., if someone asked you which kind of pastries you wanted or something.)

[V2Blast]

Not sure, but it seems like it'd be fine.

[Ckl15012]

That's what I wrote

[davtoh]

"I want all kind of things" i gess it should be accepted

[Sa967St]

I reported that "I want all kinds of things" should be accepted.

[V2Blast]

Yep, it was marked wrong for me as well. I've reported it too (10/30/17).

[DannOak]

Same thing happened to me.

[jamiemeow99]

Where does the 'things' come from? Isn't context important?

[V2Blast]

物（もの） means "thing(s)", "stuff", etc. いろいろなものがほしいです is accepted.

However, even without it, いろいろほしいです states that you want all sorts of things, if further context is not provided.

[FranStalli]

sorts, kinds -- is there a difference?

[nataliamane]

I want things of all sorts?

[Medbor]

I wanted to use "I want all kinds of stuff" which sure is colloquialism but means the exact same thing...

[Eli-aiki]

"all kinds of things" is more natural, and surely synonymous...

[Anne-Britt16]

いろいろ can mean 'colour' according to the helptext, but 'I want colours' was not accepted. How can I know it's 'all sorts of things' and not colours?

[VanessaBod2]

Iro means color. I remember it as "I want many colors of things." Which is how I usually shop for clothes: find one item I like, then buy it in all sorts of colors ;-)

[Azaius]

Is "I want all sorts of them." also correct?

I assumed a context like:

A: "Are you going after water Pokemon, or fire Pokemon, or..."

B: "Oh, I want all sorts of them."

[mousstafa001]

Various

[Rafael-An]

色々欲しいです

[BenJammin234988]

Is it pronounced "iro-iro" or "iroi-ro" as Duo pronounces it?

[AlanMooney1]

Do you not need to put the particle "が" between 色々and 欲しい？
