"南はどっちですか？"

Translation: Which way is south?

[Tordek]

Why docchi instead of dochira?

[mrlazyface]

どっち is less formal than どちら.

I translated it as "Which direction is South?" and was corrected to " Which way is South?" In English, I believe these to be the same, and I'm more likely to use the first if referring to compass directions, instead of North Main Street versus South Main Street (not necessarily exactly compass aligned). Is there a reason "way" was preferred by the lesson?

[Tordek]

It could just be "because that's what they set as the answer". If you feel your answer is valid, report with the "My answer should have been accepted" option.

Why am I considered wrong when I add the article to "north", "south", etc? If you can help me, I'll be thankful

[Tordek]

"Which way is north" refers to a direction; "the north" doesn't. It might refer to a certain place (e.g., in the US "The North" refers to the northern states), but it doesn't mean the same as "North".

Anyone else thinking about Game of Thrones now?

[Cecil164832]

Shouldn't this be dore rather than docchi? I presume if you can't figure out your directions, that there would be at least four choices- north south east west.

[SeaMillo]

That would be asking "Which is South" rather than "Which way..."
