"What dish do we buy at the cafe?"

Translation: 카페에서 우리는 무슨 요리를 사요?

[Florfy]

In Korean, the subject is often omitted from sentences, so shouldn't "카페에서 무슨 요리 사요?" be accepted as a correct answer?

[KrKonar]

Yeah. This app sucks with most things in korean. You cant directly translate korean.

[mdarroyo]

In reality Koreans use the word 메뉴 rather than 요리 when referring to a dish.

[FatmaFakhry]

I really have issues with the Korean sentence order

[dottimun]

When do we use 요리 and when do we use 음식?

[sir_blue]

Does 카페에서 need to be at the start of the sentence or is it also possible to put it behind 요리를

[mhin1]

You can place 카페에서 after the topic or after the object. If you place it after the object, you're emphasizing the location of the action rather than the object.

I realised that I accidentally entered 카페서 twice instead of 카페에서 but Duolingo didn't even say that it's a typo. Why so? Is 에 often omitted if 에서 follows a word whose final vowel is ㅔ?

PS (2021/05/31) : I have come across one more such instance. 여기에서 vs 여기서. Even saw it being used in a TTMIK video. So, perhaps my assumption is indeed correct?

[RQZ.Sash]

Why is 음식 not correct here?

[quisl]

To my understanding 음식 is everything with nutrition (including apples) while 요리 is prepared food (dishes)

Can I also say 어떤 instead vof 무슨?
