        Someone knows why the prononciation is "なのか" and not "ななか"?

          Can someone explain how tge future tense differs? Figured this could be "it will take 7 days"...

          The future tense doesn't differ (grammatically), so, without context, your translation is also correct.

          Japanese doesn't distinguish between the present and future tense; it's all just the "non-past" tense.

              I just wrote that and it is correct. Or rather, it's another correct answer

              Pretty much. Nanoka (7 days) kakarimasu (it will take).

              Or as duolingo prefers, "it takes".

                I mean, the "whole crawling out of the TV and killing me" thing kinda sucks, but she's not a bad girl once you get to know her.

                  Ive just gotten a few wrong in a row from saying "It will take ", "It would take", and "It takes ___".

                    "It will take seven days" is better, since it is implicitly a future statement

                    "How long does it take to walk from point A to point B?" "It takes seven days." "It takes seven days to create a world."
