"저는 친구 열 명에게 선물을 줘요."

Translation: I give a gift to ten friends.

[goohayoon]

10 people will share one gift? -__-

[mhin1]

Some Korean beef gifts are quite substantial.

[ANeFv]

I used the word "present" instead of "gift" in my answer and got the question wrong. Is 선물 specifically "gift" and not present?

[Gnarcan]

No, in my understanding it can mean both

[mhin1]

Report it.

[YunisR]

I have never used gift. You must have had something else wrong

[Hanzo_Ergo]

Or you could be wrong, as Duolingo is constantly updating in response to feedback etc

5/9/2019, "I give presents to ten friends." is now accepted as an alternate answer.

[ItsSejong]

Why is it not "I give 10 presents to a friend" ????

[rabidkashew]

명 is a counter specifically for people, so there are 10 people the speaker gives presents to.

[marina199733]

The number and count word go after 진구, and the count word there is for people

[sergioleitonp]

Is written "친구", not "진구". Btw

[TriniSimSim]

I used "present" instead of "gift" also and got it wrong

[BrianaSpel1]

What isnt said is that 명 is a count word for people I believe.

[J7jx10]

It is said in Tips and Notes section

[AlexHaimov]

Doesnt 에게 mean from someone rather than to someone? Like 진구에게 선물 받아요...

[SeanFogart4]

～에게서 means from ～(someone).

[tessabanessa]

No I think you have it backward. 에게 is to someone

[Hayley829164]

Present didnt come up as an option for me, only gift.

[BTS_ARMY_71113]

Sameu

[ValerieLopez17]

Does the order matter for the "친구 열 며에게"? Can "열 명 찬구에게" work?

[mhin1]

You would need to add an extra particle to the counter if you use the second order: "열 명의 친구에게".

[marina199733]

Yes, the order is important. Particles (like ~에게) are attached to count words

[Brynn310511]

I wrote "I give presents to 10 friends" and it said "i give a gift to ten friends" so I think maybe i should not have made presents plural.

[elchorizo]

I just wrote "I give ten friends presents" and got it wrong.

[sergioleitonp]

Because of the wording you used and you needed to put "to". So the correct answer could be "I give a gift to ten friends". And also, do you speak Spanish? Bacause I recognized the spanish in your name, "elchorizo"

[elchorizo]

why is "I send ten friends presents" wrong?

[tontonzark]

I wrote : I give to ten friends a gift. Is it wrong ? Is the place of the words so important in English or could I write it this way ?

[lady_kumbhkaran]

No this is wrong. You can write I give a present/gift to 10 friends

[habibaellamey]

Pretty hard to pronounce it ):

[Hajera_022]

Yes
