i tried reading this out loud and it sounded like i was singing old mccdonald had a farm
I typed "This child runs this way with this cat." I feel like this should also be correct!
Prepositions are funky - we need to translate for context. In this case, I think it can be with, because they mean the exact same thing in English. "x and y run this way together" and "x runs this way with y" mean the exact same thing. "and...together" means "with."
와/과 can also mean "with" so technically..saying "with this/the cat" is right^^
First of all 같이 means together, so that's missing in your sentence and secondly yes it's the same meaning in this sentence, but in general "with" and "and" are two different words and can change a sentence. If I remember correctly to say with 학고 should have been added to the second subject (the cat), so something like: 이 아이가 이 고양이학고 [...]. I'm reeeeeally not in expert in korean, this is just what I remembered from Duolingo so far, more or less
Yes that is correct but it isn't the correct translation of what what it written. They mean the same thing tbh
Lol I kind of scrambled all the words and put "This cat and this child run together in this direction"
-
함께 is more formal and common in written Korean.
-
같이 is more colloquial and common in spoken Korean.
Why have 이 아이와 이 고양이 if the correct answer is "this child and cat" according to duo
Accepted 2019 as "this child and this cat".
In English if the two things are near each other, we often use "the/this/that" and their plurals only on the first.
When we know which things we are talking about:
The cat and mouse are playing games. The cat and the mouse are playing. These roses and daisies grow quickly.
......... When we need to be specific because there are more choices:
The cat and the dog play games. The cat and that dog play. These roses and these daisies grow quickly. That rose and this daisy do not grow slowly.
Mine was "This child and this cat run together in this direction", but they didn't accept it ㅠㅠ
Same here. Without getting deep into the semantics of grammar, I feel at a quick glance this should be accpeted. 08/2021
In english, the border for this and that is if you can touch it or not. That makes me curious what the korean border is.
Where did you learn that? It's incorrect. You can use "this" in English for something three feet away from you (that's not a border, just an example" - especially if you are comparing it to something else 20 feet away. You just use "this" for the closer one.
I answered "This child and this cat runs together in this direction" i feel i answered right but i got it wrong. I am getting lost
"run" not "runs" - you have a plural subject - third person plural, not third person singular.

@Tony - "Together" is not inferred. It is actually there in the form of 같이. The same meaning as 함께.
this child and this cat is running along the same side. 도 말 되지 않나요?? 저는 이 문장에 여러가지 번역이 있을수 있다고 생각해요
I switched "cat" and "child" because I wasn't paying attention. This is so sad.
Man, I got this as a listening exercise in Demonstratives Lvl 1 3/3. How many times have I pressed the slow-mo button?
i wrote "this child and this cat run together in this direction" WHATS THE DIFFERENCE

@Judith - it's kind of a similar difference between the following two sentences: A) "He and I went to a cafe together". B) "He and I went together to a cafe". A) sounds more natural, that's all. At least to me.
A lot of these long ones make my brain hurt at first but once you dissect each part into its own little pieces it makes a bit more sense.
My accent does not help me in this case, i am so far away from Korea, all the way in Africa
편 is taught as side, 쪽 is taught as way, So I don't understand why 이편 is this way instead of this side in this case.
I put "This child and this cat run together in this direction" The word order is different but doesnt change the meaning at all, feel like this should be a correct answer :(
In the speaking exercise, why does the app always think I'm done talking when I'm still speaking? I pause for literally half a second, and Duolingo says I got it incorrect because I didn't say the rest of the sentence.
Если здесь есть русские, пожалуйста, объясните, как правильно перевести 이편으로. 편 это направление или сторона?
I'm confused. I put the child and the cat run together in this direction. I'm pretty sure my answer and the "correct" answer mean the same thing The correct answer was the child and the cat run in this direction together.
i put "this child and this cat is running together in this direction" and i got wrong when my grammar is correct and theirs is wrong.

Can anyone explain why 으로 is used in this sentence? I thought 으로 meant something close to "by means of" so I'm a bit confused.

Here it means "in this direction."
Personally, it seems to me the best way to think of 으로 is like the English suffix "-wise" (think "clockwise" = "in the way a clock goes"), but with broader application than we use in English.
So 한국어로 ("Korean-wise" or "in Korean"), or 손으로 ("Hand-wise" or "by hand") or 식사로 ("Meal-wise" or "as a meal"). So here 이편으로 means "this direction-wise" or "in this direction").
In English we use a ton of different modifiers to mean the same thing as 으로, so you have to figure out which one suits the context best.
If final consonants ‘ㄷ, ㅌ(ㄾ)’ meet subject maker or suffix 'ㅣ(이)', each pronunciation change to [ㅈ, ㅊ]. e.g. 같이[가치], 밭이[바치], 해돋이[해도지]
For all the hindi speakers reading this. Its easier to translate hindi to korean than translating english to korean.
I typed «this child and cat run together this way». Can't it still be correct to don't add the 이 before cat?
