"고양이가 거북이를 돌립니다."

Translation: The cat turns the turtle.

[Kathinskowitz]

Okay, that is a really weird sentence ^^

[wintertriangles]

You're right, cats are more violent than that

[4lbyeZMy]

lmao

[AlwaysT1red]

Does it (here) really mean "turn" or rather "turn over" / "flip" or spin"?

[wintertriangles]

It means spin

[Rgondo2013]

i'm wondering the same thing - if it really means turn like "turn left" or turn like flip or something

[GuyUnger]

I did "the cat turns the turtle over" and they said I was wrong

[oee16]

To turn over / to flip over = ~을 뒤집다

To spin / to turn round and round = ~를 돌리다

Bad kitty!

[Idea_Dynamo]

This can't be good for the turtle.

[schu42]

wow, what a very important sentence.. :/

[WesSudduth1]

Spin

[VaniLanjew]

It mean spin... Maybe. .

[Soccermom98]

Can someone break these two similar words down? I know the meaning of both, but to me they sound and look too much alike.
돌립니다 (turn) and
돌려주세요(return)

[Idea_Dynamo]

돌려주세요= "turn give to" is how I distinguish between the two.

[Seannette3007]

Spinning turtle?

[Anjella02]

And I will do it again.

[JNC924]

I put spin because another sentence used the same word as spin instead of turn and I got it wrong

[Ruturaj0207]

Imagine a cat spinning a turtle
ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

[Meso2315J]

How isn't it
The cat returns the turtle?

[oee16]

"To return" in English means to give, put, or send (something) back to a place or person. = ~를 돌려주다

The cat returns the turtle = 고양이는 거북이를 돌려줍니다.

[Shaxton]

Duolingo accepts "The cat spins the turtle" as correct.

[RichiieCru]

There are skme weird sentences ∆

[cornyholio]

Why is it "The" cat, not "A" cat?

[josueetcom]

Both work since there are no articles in Korean. Though since with 가/이 you're specifying a subject, I imagine that's why most of the translations use "the" even though "a/an" can be appropriate as well.

[Lovemyself05]

Poor turtle

[Fauziaaang]

Bad mingming

[Snoopy189]

What is the flipping point of that sentence?!
