If you are a texting teen, perhaps! :)

[Curlygirly]

Really should be "are you blind?"

[mowog]

Maybe it's really really fogy

Non leggo mai le discussioni senza prima prendere un kleenex per asciugare le lacrime di risate!!!!

[KarenColle]

Maybe he meant chilometri?

[pjjoh1]

Why is it 'e a' due metri? not just e due metri

[kwinke]

a comes before a lot of things. distance, time, and age being three bigs ones

[carinofranco]

pretty close!

[PeterJames]

Are they trying (in the original Italian) to say that the metro station is in 2 stops ?

[SabineBH]

I said The station is two meters away but Duo wanted a literal translation.

Duolingo likes to correct our English. To one of my attempts to humor them by playing their game, their translation was "at two metres." Excuse me?

Sei cieco?

[Roeltje18]

So it's not "the station is close"? like due passi, quattro soldi etc.

[BarryKissane]

Surprising observation when it's that close!

[richardbeeson]

The original question was "Excuse me, can you please tell me what is two metres from here?""

[egregor1]

who would ever say this - unless we are talking about model railways?
