Women = 여자들 , woman = 여자 . As far as i learn, the word 들 here is to indicate plural. Hope that helps you
Exactly in one of the previous exercises, the question was "남자 또는 여자" and the translation was "Men or women"! That is why meita441811 is asking! It is my question, too.
To the best of my understanding (as a relatively new Korean learner) nouns without plurality particles can be taken as singular, plural, or as the general concept of that noun depending on context. So, 남자 can actually refer to a man, a group of men, or to the general concept of a man or men. For instance, "남자 돼지야" could mean "Men are pigs" in general or "The man is a pig". 들 is used when you want to make a noun explicitly plural, likely to remove some sort of ambiguity or apply more context.
Did you report the question? I haven't seen it yet so I think they fixed it tho
In Korean they use "들 (deul)" behind a word to indicate that it's plural, so woman is "여자" and women is "여자들".

Example: 남자들 means men because of 들 which indicates it as plural, but 남자 itself could be both singular (man) or plural (men) without 들 but you would need a context to know whichever should be used
beacuse they use 들, deul ita used to say some pronoun (i think its pronoun) its plural so 여자 is woman and 여자들 is women

you need context without the "deul" to know if its plural or non plural. "nam ja" can mean both man or men. It depends on the context like I said before. This language study is under beta, so it's not going to be perfect. So Duolingo is great as a stepping stone into the language, but you are going to need other sources to help cement your knowledge and fill in the gaps that duolingo provides
It depends on the situation, if u see the word 들 after the noun, then it must be plural but if u didn't see it then it can be both cuz adding 들 is optional
Hope this clear the doubt.
Hlo
Can you send me some photos of jungkook plese Can you do friendship with me
How do you pronounce 'or'? Sounds different by itself and as a conjunction
또=tto pronounce the tt as if you are tutting and o very posh 는=neun pronounce the eu as oo
This is wrong 또는 should be pronounced as tto-neun (the eu makes a oo sound)
I did it right (I did the same as it said it was right) but it said I was wrong :(
I answered: "A woman or a man".. Then i got an answer: " another correct solution: A woman or a man".. Am i blind? I can't see the difference. Anyway that was right.
Why is tt like when d is written two times. Shouldn't tt be Like !=!=? Haha. Sorry. I don't have a Korean keyboard. I'mma get one.
Aghhhh what the hell is this? Sometimes it says "And" sometimes "Or" can comeone please explain this... "여자또는 남자"
I hate that Duolingo uses "또는" as "or". In some cases it can be interpreted that way, but far more often I have seen it used more like "also" or even "and" in this case. "여자 나 남자" seem like a more accurate way to say "A woman or a man".
ㅁ = "mmmm" with closed mouth ㄴ = "nnnn" with the tongue in the roof of mouth. ㅇ = internal "n" with opened mouth (just if it's not linked to the next vowel)
'들' indicates that it is plural. For example, '여자' is a woman, and '여자들' is women. As I'm aware though, Koreans don't put '들' every time, but in this case there should be.
Jeg skrev "A women or a man" den sagde at det var forkert og svaret var "A women or a man" det forstår jeg ikke
'Eu' (으) should NOT be pronounced as 'oo' (우). I recommend looking at other sites for pronunciation to those who are confused. 'Eu' should be pronounced a bit like how in the word 'Italian' 'an' is pronounced (but I guess this may also depend on your accent).
My answer in correct but suddenly say that I type it wrong, but there is nothing different between what did i wrote and the answer
