"二日かかります。"

Translation: It takes two days.

[ronCYA]

二日 (pronounced ふつか)

[elizadeux]

I do wish that they would add the hiragana for ふつか to the tiles so that we'd have the option of being able to select the correct pronunciation. It's easier to learn the kanji 二日 than to learn it's reading. We can type in the answer of course, but...

午後五時

If we're talking about a span of time, shouldn't we use 間 (かん)?

[gyJe7QcR]

Apparently, 間 is optional for duration of days, except for the duration of 1 day, which is required to drop the 間.

I just hear "ka" twice. Is that ok?

futsuka　(二日）Two days

kakari(かかり）　Takes

futsuka kakari masu

[Leo358607]

I think you should hear 3

[Bwizdam]

Why is there no 間 counter here?

[TyrantRC]

as far as I know is optional

２日【ふつか】2 days

２日間【ふつかかん】a period of 2 days

[Aelfwine81]

Is it normal to have the "ka" three times in a row? Would people really say this or would they phrase it in a different way to avoid the three "ka"s?

[Houngawa]

It's normal, they say that, they don't try to avoid it.

[Dane358388]

So is か a particle here? What other ways is it used?

[Dane358388]

Nevermind, it just hit me that かかります is just one word. か is not a particle.

[VictorCost502708]

かかか is the way we represent we're laughing a lot here in Brazil. The more you laugh, the more "か" you add: kkkkkk.

Similar to hahaha XD

[p7CH3]

I take two days.

[BodgedIt]

Thought the audio was skipping there.

[Onikyoushi]

How about, "It will take two days"?

[TyrantRC]

both are correct

[StarryChomps]

Shouldn't this translate to "It WILL take two days?"

[Izumi55]

why it can not translated as "it will need two days"? what is the different? it still the same, right?

[V2Blast]

You could write "It will take two days". There's no word meaning "need" in this sentence.

Intonation is strange - seems to rise too much during kakarimasu.

[ahANpg]

Machine pronunciation by joining single syllables together without consideration for intonation, speed, or tone of voice. Dont expect too much from duolingo's creators
