"들" isn't super common in Korean, unlike in English, so based on context it could be "Woman" or "Women." I do think that Duolingo should explain this, though.
"둘" makes that word plural. So "여자" is "womAn" and "여자들" are "womEn"
I answered man instead of woman and it marked it correct but said I had a typo.
Probably because Duolingo seems to go by syllables, and there's only one syllable off between namja and yeoja. You got the "ja" part correct ^^
To everyone wondering, 들 is rarely used and koreans usually ignore it. It doesn't really matter if you say 여자 or 여자들
No, it's optional on animate nouns, but really uncommon on inanimate nouns. You can use it on "woman", but you'd sound weird if you used it on "book".
To say "women", both 여자 and 여자들 are correct.
However, to say "books" 책들 sounds weird and it's really uncommon.
"들" means the korean 2 when said by itself but when u add 여자 to the begining of it ot means multiple women so its the plural to "woman" it is not commonly used so dont worry abt it too much
I think 의 is used to show possession. Like 저의 is my and 개의 is dog's. I'm not too sure, since I'm also learning from duolingo.
in the previous discussion it was discussed that 여자 is for woman while 여자둘 is for women (plural)
여자 is women when we add 들after a verb it became plural 여자 women - 여자들 = women Eg :- 남자 man - 남자+들 = 남자들 men
