"이 엘리베이터는 그녀가 설계한 기계다."

Translation: This elevator is a machine that she designed.

[obesehomeb]

these translations are horrible...

[dnllrs]

What would be your suggestion for the correct translation? I tried "This elevator that she designed is machine" and it was marked wrong.

[Fabian227203]

Perhaps "... is a machine." would work.

[hippietrail]

"is machine" is not possible in English grammar.

[Claire_Disney]

should also accept "this elevator is a machine designed by her" I swear half the answers on this language course are still a mess

[Neil431711]

I think you are swearing too much Clire_Disney.

"This elevator is a machine she designed" should be accepted. Reported on Nov. 14, 2017.

I think "The elevator is designed by her."

[Rose468589]

But this translation misses the statement that the elevator is a machine.

[Roland274136]

The complete sentence makes no sense

Is the written form 기계다? Can I say 기계이다?

[Staszek456]

Absolutely yes. It is common in Korean to ommit 이 from 이다 after a noun which ends with a vowel. Ex. 과자이다 = 과자다 (...is a biscuit); 시과이다 = 사과다 (...is an apple).

이 엘리베이터는 그女가 設計한 機械다.
