"오늘 제 선생님이 학교에 계십니다."

Translation: My teacher is at school today.

[valeamaris]

i feel like "today my teacher is at the school" has a close enough meaning? but is there some nuance that would make it wrong :/

[SvedishPlumber]

That is right, but probably hasnt been added yet

[looafers]

Whats the difference between:
있습니다
계십니다
Is it just formality?

Why is "Today my teachers are at the school" marked wrong?

[Renee169426]

That really has to do with direct translation. Directly translated to English that would be correct, but it has a slightly different meaning in Korean.

[John335027]

Yours is correct too. Duolingo still needs to learn many alternatives.

[CooperReid4]

"teachers"

[CooperReid4]

"teachers" the korean refers specifically one

[SabianF]

You forget Korean rarely uses its grammatical plurals to refer to plurals

[eleanor.yamada]

why is it ʻ이ʻ for 선생님 not ʻ께서ʻ? Is it because of the 님?
(if it is so, would it be ʻ이ʻ for 할아버님 and 할머님 as well?)

[IAQ812]

께서 is right. In this case Duo is wrong

[Chromberries]

A beginner here, but I think it's because the I is tacked onto "teacher" to show it is the subject and the e is tacked onto "school" to show that it is where the teacher is. Someone else could do a better job of explaining, but you can also search it up on google for a quicker answer!

[Gray_Roze]

Their question wasn't about that. They were asking why the sentence uses an honorific verb conjugation but doesn't use the honorific subject marker (께서).

[KanKanMikan]

that's rare

[Zilchrhythm]

Today my teacher is at school
Should be the right answer too

[JuLee670165]

My question says "Our grandmother sings". I have a completely different question than what the correct answer supposedly is. This def needs someone's attention from DuoLingo.

[SadiaAsmat]

What's the difference between 선생님께서 and 선생님이?

[Sef467066]

Why not "My teacher stays at school today"?

[TalvirChri]

What is the difference between unel and uneren?))
