Interesting: is delicious is written 맛있습니다 and its pronunciation is 마싰습니다. The sentence demonstrates a problem common with foreign learners. A hurtle that must be solved to effectively communicate in Korean. Us learners need to pay particular attention as to how conjugation impacts pronunciation.
I think because many of words are same here and there is a lil bit change so it says a typo mistake
I read in other threads.. korean use singular for general statement. To my understanding then if there are particular delicious apples, we say.. 이 사과들은맛있습니다. CMIIW
Another way of writing that there are certain apples that are delicious could use "사과들이", but then it would be particular to the ones present rather than your example that reads like a general statement about a particular type.
:)
When you're learning more in the comments than the app itself. Still.. thanks to this app.
It should be correct. You should report it.
But why it's correct without it is because in Korean they tend to leave off the 들 when making general statements especially about inanimate objects.
Can a native speaker please explain the difference between 맛있슾니다 and 멋이슾니다? It's confusing. Thanks! :)
It might be easier to understand by breaking down the phrases. Each has "있습니다" in common (I think there is a typo in your q?). This means "it has <>" because it stems from the verb "to have" (있다). So it is a matter of learning the differences between "멋" and "맛". Both mean taste but 맛 is about flavour. So the phrases read has... something has tasty/yummy flavour, versus something has 'good taste'.
맛 means taste/flavor.
멋 means good/awesome/cool. It has nothing to do with flavor.
When it's a general statement, in Korean they use the topic maker of 은/는. It doesn't matter that we would call it the subject in the English sentence.
In Korean, subject makers are usually used when you're speaking about particular examples of the item. Like, 사과가 would usually mean "the apple".
Aside the "사과들이" and "사과는",I think I need a serious lectures on these subject and topic particle markers
Its a complicated and nuanced topic in Korean. Here's a good way to frame how these markers are used: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vGVK89y4PMA
Do you mean the 는 particle in the sentence?
은/는 are called topic markers, which marks the topic of the the conversation. 은 is used when the syllable ends in a consonant, and 는 is used when the syllable ends in a vowel.
J- hooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooopppppppppppppppppppppppppppeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee☺
맛 = taste / flavor
멋 = cool / awesome / good looking. 멋 also can mean "having good taste" (like if you were fashionable or something).
You use ㅂ니다 when the verb root ends in a vowel.
-
이다 - > 입니다
-
하다 -> 합니다
You use 습니다 when the verb root ends in a consonant.
-
있다 -> 있습니다
-
맞다 -> 맞습니다
-
맞았다 (past tense of above) -> 맞았습니다
This answer was correct, I did it exactly the same and it was marked as incorrect.

Hi if anyone using duoling on an ios or android is wondering how to type a comment u have to use a laptop
How will i know the difference between delicious and not delicious in korean....
맛있다 (맛있어요) = tastes good / is delicious. It literally means "has taste".
맛없다 (맛없어요) = doesn't taste good / tastes bad. It literally means "lacks taste".
Anyone have an idea on how i can remember sagwa means apple?... i keep confusing it with other words... idk why but i think it means school instead... or house and its frustrating
