"This watch is cute."

Translation: この腕時計はかわいいです。

[patdj]

what s wrong with just tokei here?

[IsolaCiao]

Duolingo is trying to differentiate "watch" and "clock", but 時計 tokei actually means both, and there is nothing wrong with just "tokei" in this sentence.

[kokagejone]

In another question, a poster the point that 時計 can be a wristwatch, that one would be less likely to hirou a clock in the street….

[AbinG.]

I think the difference is that "tokei" means watch/clock as in the ones you have on walls... while "udedokei" is specifically a wristwatch.

[DerToast]

There are wall mount watches? I always thought "watch" can only refer to wrist/pocket watches

[Kokumaker]

This is the first time I've noticed that tokei becomes dokei when you put ude in front of it. Ugh.

I just came here to see if that's real or an error in the audio.

かわいい!

[outersenshi_]

anyone know why i can't use 可愛い here instead of かわいい？ Does it change the meaning somehow? I'd really appreciate some help!

[MatrixMushroom]

The hiragana for this is a lot more common, though the kanji should still be accepted.

[jikanganai]

Substituting かわいい with the kanji equivalent 可愛い was not accepted as an answer.

What is the difference between kono and konna?

[KeiHaruki1]

kono - this (modifying a noun)

e.g. この時計- this clock.

konna - this kind of

e.g. こんな食べもの - food like this

i think.

[MatrixMushroom]

yeah that's right
