"똑똑한 학생이 책 네 권을 들고 있어요."

Translation: The smart student is carrying four books.

[YunisR]

들고 있어요 is translated as holding, but it only accepts carrying wth?

[dasanders]

is it hermione?

[KPSShreyas]

She carries more books than that.

[HelloMichaelh]

This exercise uses 네 for the number 4. Shouldn't 4 be 넷

[wintertriangles]

There are several numbers that drop their lower consonant when in use. 둘 셋 넷 all become 두 세 네

[Unicornmon3]

This is correct. These numbers all change form when a counter is added. Otherwise they are hard to pronounce.
For the same reason 하나 becomes 한.
둘 - 두
셋 - 세
넷 - 네
다섯 onwards remain the same.

[Staszek456]

And 스물 becomes 스무

[Kathi881421]

Right, because it would be difficult to pronounce, the "ㅅ" is dropped.

Why is "The smart student holds four books" incorrect?

[Lackbittern]

Because it should be "is holding" not "hold"

[Claudia763]

i wrote holding and it was not accepted

[cmykevin]

The hover hint for 들고 says "with" instead of "carry"

[ADSRelease]

It says "들다" means "holding" but says "The smart student is holding four books." is incorrect. I don't understand.

[Linda105503]

which word is "carrying" I see "the student with four books is smart" or "the smart student is with four books."

[Lakerbat]

I missed carrying...had no clue to that. I just said that the smart student was with four books. :(

[Wangmelon]

"a smart student is carrying 4 books" is marked wrong on 14/06/2020 !?!?

[birryberry]

isn't "the smart student carries four book" should've been accepted

[J7jx10]

should be "is carrying"

[bull96206]

The bright student is holding 4 books.

[EdwardMead3]

I used, "The smart student is holding four books," the response was accepted as correct. The issue is with "bright". Duolingo was looking for a dictionary definition of smart--bright would be considered colloquial but understood by those whose first language is English.

[iglO1]

A smart student is holding four books.

[Al-Asmawi]

would it be correct if I said 똑똑하는?

[soobee620]

I thought that 들다 and 가지다 in continuous are used to say that someone has something. This is what the lesson's tips said. I said "The smart student has four books" and it was marked wrong. I have found this chapter so frustrating.

[Jaethegay]

Why was four marked as right but 4 is wrong?! (Can duo let us write in our target language Im sick of it telling me off for making English errors, I'm not here to learn English i know it!!)
