Does uninteresting work instead of boring?

I wrote that but it's wrong.

Chances are you had a typo. "My friend doesn't read an uninteresting newspaper." is an accepted translation.

[sowoneul]

Isn't 'a' redundant? The sentence can refer to all boring newspapers in general

[carmelsweetie]

I agree

"My friend does not read boring newspapers." is accepted.

[GregNapp]

Uninteresting should work in place of boring

I guess for now they just want an exact translation before you slack off a little, probably so you can learn the basics.

How do we know if "newspaper" is singular or plural?

[dpatkat]

In Korean, as we are learning still, this can represent no specific newspaper or any newspapers in general that the friend considers boring. Bored because of boring newspaper(s).

[Ash-Fred]

Both are accepted.

I put "My friend doesn't read boring newspapers" and it was marked as correct, with a typo. I understand the plural in Korean is often assumed based on context and I thought "newspapers" sounded more natural than "a newspaper" in this sentence, but out of curiosity, would singular have been more accurate or was my answer fine?

[Ash-Fred]

Chances are you actually had a typo. "My friend doesn't read boring newspapers." is currently accepted. Duolingo doesn't consider dropping an article as a typo.

Why cannot use a frase "A friend of mine" instead of "My friend"?...

재미없는 = uninteresting, why not?
