"Kdo hledá tu krávu?"

Translation: Who is looking for the cow?

[fmbraga]

If "tu" is also a short for "tady" couldn't the sentence be translated as "who is looking for a cow here?"

[VladaFu]

It is a weird word order for an adverb of location. "Kdo tu hledá krávu?" would be much better.

[YRGQ]

Also possible to translate "looking AFTER the cow" is it not right?

[ally.x]

to look for - hledat

to look after - starat se

So the answer is no.

[YRGQ]

But there is advertising for nannies "hlídání dětí", for example

[ally.x]

Hmm, maybe you're confusing "hledat" - "to look for" and "hlídat" - "to watch over, to guard"? Hledám svůj telefon (I'm looking for my phone), Hlídám tento dům (I'm watching over/guarding this house).

Why is there 'tu' used here

[VladaFu]

accusative singular of "ta"

[BoneheadBass]

"Tu" in this sentence means we want to know who is looking for THE cow (the small black-and-white one, for example), as opposed to A cow (any cow at all).

[Vixg]

For 'tu' there are the suggestions "around here" and "here" which are misleading.

[VladaFu]

Well, tu can often mean just that. "Kdo tu hledá krávu?" "Who is looking for a cow here?"

Are the hints supposed to just give you the solution right away?

[Steffen870754]

Why is it wrong: Who searches the cow? Duolingo includes both of them: looking for and search.

[BoneheadBass]

It must be "search FOR," not just "search."

[Leo970566]

Who is the cow looking for - what would that be?

[VladaFu]

Koho hledá ta kráva?
