"Hontī rijis."

Translation: They are praising the birds.

[davidzuercher]

I wrote "They praise the birds" and it was wrong. Yet when i tapped on jiris before answering it clearly stated both the continuous and simple tense. I guess my answer being classified as wrong is a mistake?

You are correct and they have fixed that now :)

[Werdert45]

Can't it be The birds are praising

[AndreiFelix]

No, that would be hontesse rijis.

[Werdert45]

Thanks, I indeed saw it in the further lessons, but thanks anyway.

But how are you supposed to know if it is they or another one?

[Janna2102]

The Birds are praising would be possible too, am i right?

[LikeTheDog]

If the birds are doing the praising, then it would be Hontesse rijis.
Hontesse = nominative plural
Honti = accusative plural
