"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

[SuperSizedSmiley]

You're actually right. I got marked correct with "today my teacher is at school."

I wrote the same and it was accepted

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

[sean.mullen]

Not formality -- honorifics. Formality pertains to speech level and is the reason for -ㅂ니다, i.e., it's the level of respect one is showing the audience, or person to whom you are speaking. Honorifics is the reason for 계시다 instead of 있다, and shows respect for the person you're talking about.

Yeea

[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

[yoonhyemi]

Thanks for pointing that out. I had not even noticed it.

[ErnestineO]

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"

[KanKanMikan]

that's rare

[SadiaAsmat]

What's the difference between 선생님께서 and 선생님이?

[Zilchrhythm]

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

[yoonhyemi]

I wrote that and it was accepted

[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.

[Sef467066]

Why not "My teacher stays at school today"?

[Adster2000]

Why isn't it - 저희 선생님 ?

[sean.mullen]

저희 means 'we' and "we teacher" is ungrammatical. You can say 저희의 as a formal variant of 우리의 if you want to say "our teacher" (저희의 선생님), but this sentence asks you to translate "my teacher" (제 선생님, from 저의 선생님).
