- "맛있는 딸기를 사세요."

I'm just imagining someone going to buy a single strawberry.
"Good day, grocer. I would like one strawberry, please. And make it delicious."
Exactly, I sometimes wonder whether the course developers are exhibiting merely a childish sense of humor, or lack of real life experience.
Hi I'm korean learning English by writing comments. Actually 사세요 is like the middle of asking and ordering. Both sentences are not wrong. Thank you for loving my country and learning our language. This is korean way to say chin up 화이팅!
since 딸기 is neighter singular nor plural it should also accept strawberries
Of course, and the translation is awkward even so. The most natural translation (though not the most litral) is simply to use "good." "Please buy good strawberries." "Buy a delicious strawberry." is, of course, a possible translation, but how many times in your life have you heard or made that request?.......I thought not.
There should be a please in the translation, but they mark it as incorrect. 세요 is a polite command ending in Korean, and would thus be translated as "please". For the purpose of using Duolingo, though, there's no please.
Yes I've been wondering that too. There should be a please in polite speech
Shouldnt buy delicious strawberry do the job? Just because of an a its telling me wrong...
It says that 사세요 could mean "live" as well, and we use like this in another exercise. How can I tell the difference?
No possibility to write strawberries at the plural! - First try You can't say: buy a (singular!) strawberries (plural)! -Second try
Buy a delicious strawberry - third try gave me the correct choice. And a strawberry is correct, strawberry are a luxery and very expensive in Korea, a very special gift!
Because It says just 딸기. If you wanna make it plural, add '들' rigth after the noun. Just like you guys add -s or -es. For example, strawberries = 딸기들. I hope my comment is helpful for you. Thanks for loving my language

I literally wrote "Live delicious strawberries" lol so this is where they are testing if we can understand context too like they mentioned in the Tips since 사세요 can mean "live" and "buy"
