I'm starting to become worried by the duolingo programmers personal lives
Shouldn't 나쁘다 have been accepted? I know it's the dictionary form, but isn't it still technically correct?
나쁘다 is locally correct, but then you can't say 예.
- 그래, 사람들은 나쁘다.
- 응, 사람들은 나빠.
- 예, 사람들은 나빠요/나쁩니다.
I agree. The meaning is still the same. It shouldn't be an option if it isn't going to be accepted.
if it didn't have the -들 it could mean just one person. "A person is bad" instead of "People are bad"
Yeah, maybe they're trying to make it simpler in the beginning. Not everyone knows about dictionary forms in the beginning. Either way, report it and they'll add it if they think it's necessary =]
what's the function of -은 instead of -이 in this sentence? could 사람들이 be correct in any context?
Why didn't it accept it when I wrote the same and just omitted the plural particle? We've been taught that general statements don't use the plural particles.
