"Este jugo es ácido."

Translation: This juice is sour.

[SirMademoiselle]

if that juice is acid then you probably shouldn't drink it

[reissecup]

but all juices are acids

[P1GG1EP0W3R]

My thoughts preciselllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllly

[imdwightbrah]

I translated acido as "sour" and it was accepted; however, it wasn't given as one of the hints when you hover over the word. Is acido how one would normally say "sour" or is there a word that is more commonly used?

[Evelyn-Grace]

"Sour" has always been translated as "agrio" for me, but DL can be strange sometimes. I'm not totally sure what word they'd like us to use in this situation.

[t.winkler]

sour is fine

[Foomancrue]

I swear I can't remember the difference between "this" and "that" and "these" and "those". Does anyone have a secret?

[JadeSteffe1]

(I can't take credit for this, as I read it in the comments for another exercise)

This and These have T's

Hope it helps - this is a continual source of frustration for me as well!

[noble3sl]

To add on to the first comment, I saw another post that wrote "this and these have T's - that and those, the T goes."

[camizio]

Learned it as "this and these both have T's, that and those don't"

[TimGj]

I remember that "this" and "these" have a "t" in them because they're close enough you can "t"ouch them

[Rob41277]

In the words of Mitchel Thomas, when writting the "t" in esto/esta, draw a vertical line, "l" then Instead of crossing it with "-" use a "v" instead and you have an arrow pointing down for "here". When that arrow is not there then you have "ese,esa,eso" which are "there".

[Old_Man_Lucy]

We tend to use "agrio" as the word for sour in my country.

[lilpatschu]

I spend three months in Northern Spain and they use the word "zumo" for "juice". Does anyone know what they use in the rest of Spain?

[Bill-Roca]

Seems it's 'zumo' in Spain and 'jugo' in Latin America.

Thank you. That was what I was suspecting.
And thank you for the link.

Why is it "este jugo" but "estos libros?" Both are masculine, but I thought "esto" meant "this one" and "este" meant "this [followed by noun]."

[TilEulenspiegel]

Here is how I understand it - someone here will correct me if I get it wrong. The plural of the singular masculine article "este" is "estos." "Esto" is a neutral article, used when gender is unknown or indeterminate or there is no specific noun other than the "this" or "it" we often use in English. "Esto es cuidado = This is dangerous," but "Este lugar es cuidado = This place is dangerous" and "Estos toros son cuidados = Those bulls are dangerous."

[Duomail]

Except that “dangerous“ is translated as “peligroso(s)".
"cuidadoso" is "careful", "cautious".

[ph516503]

that's certainly how I understand it.

[TimPavier]

one of the translations for jugo is "substance" from Duolingo, which makes more sense that juice in this contents, but it marked me as wrong. Am I?

[PERCE_NEIGE]

Here, it's certainly "jugo" as "juice" and not "substance".
"Substance"is only for the sake of the translation of some expressions:

"Este libro tiene mucho jugo - this is a very meaty book, this book has a lot of substance
sacar jugo a algo/alguien - to get the most out of something/somebody (aprovechar)

[Terry716536]

"This juice is acidic." Because sour can mean spoiled and not necessarily be sour. " Este jugo es acido." I believe is not correct.

[cartrasuma]

"This is sour juice." How is that wrong?

[rachitshar1]

What's wrong with 'This is sour juice' ?

[Maddie728768]

There are multiple ways to say the sentence

[AnneThorli]

'Sharp' should be allowed as a translation for 'acido' but I was marked wrong.

[dimond223]

...but I like it

[Judy890507]

DL accepts "tart" for acído.

[ChrisJasonPerez]

ok, so why is "bitter" not an acceptable substitute for "sour"?

[LJP645926]

Why not 'sharp' instead of sour. Much more natural British English.
