"Sie wissen, woher dieses Geld kommt."

Translation: They know where this money is coming from.

[SharonNaor]

Any way to differentiate 'Kennen' from 'Wissen'?
is 'Wissen' supposed to be some kind of a deeper knowladge than 'Kennen'?

Thanks! that was really helpful!

[PhilipAshf]

That's helpful, but what about "to know" in the biblical sense?

[DustinDeLe]

Wir kennen uns. Then wink ;)

[Dan554137]

In German, kennen means "to know, be familiar with" and wissen means "to know a fact, know when/how." I keep them straight by remembering that Wissenschaft (science) is about learning facts.

[terminalmage]

Similar to conocer and saber, for those familiar with Spanish.

[Suzanne698282]

Exactly. Still don't understand why my entry was marked incorrect. Ah, well - thats Duolingo

[HeatherTM]

I put "they know where this money is from" (missed 'coming'). Should that be acceptable?

[om606na]

So again - why is this: "They know where does this money come from." wrong? I'm not a native english speaker, so I can obviously be wrong here, but someone please explain my mistake.

[PWkXZCsm]

You have split the sentence into 2 parts: the first part being a statement that "they know", and the second half into a question "where does this money come from". You need to ignore the comma and then it becomes "they know where the money is coming from". Hope this helps

[DPan76]

Where does this money come from?
This money comes from the bank.
I know [where this money comes from _].

When there's a subclause containing what appears to be a question word, but it isnt actually a question, you use the same form as a statement -except- that you move the wh- word forward.

And no, this makes no sense, it's just English at its weirdest.

[Derpyleafeon]

I answered "They know where this money is from" and got it wrong, should that be accepted?

[bwv1013]

“They know where does this money come from“ was not accepted; bad English I suppose?

[TimK77777]

You need direct word order here: "they know where this money comes from".

[JulioQuint4]

My translation was wrong and it was the sentence as yours?

[jrgunder]

That was also marked wrong for me.

[Kevin964111]

That is what i wrote and it is still not accepted today.

[ADwain1]

Daft tranlation: "they know where this money is coming front"???

[Craig136066]

Native Speakers - is it ok to spell wissen with an ess-set (ß)?

[Loudladdy]

I might be wrong, but I think you only use ß after a stressed/long vowel or a double vowel (like weiß)

[viegasrex]

Does this pause between the two parts of the sentence happen in natural speech as well?

[IanisDonic]

"they know from where this money comes" and "they know where this money is from" should be accepted too.

[Erik226858]

I cannot get through

[genoskill]

kommen is also "to arrive". Is it valid "They know where the money arrives to."?

[AstridU7]

The translation is very wordy - it is acceptable to translate into English
exactly as it is written in German - they know from where the money comes -
I didn't write it that way so unsure if it is acceptable.

[mhobbs]

I think it is acceptable, and maybe even better grammar than the given translation. Unfortunately, it is not a common way to say it.

[GerardOrne]

How come "They know from where the gold comes" is not accepted? What am I missing

[mhobbs]

Geld translates to money. Gold is gold, whether in German or English.

[Suzanne698282]

I entered exactly the correct answer but it was marked wrong.

[Codydtd]

Martin Bird says otherwise.
