"노래를 해보세요."

Translation: Try to sing.

What's wrong with "try singing"?

[Hanzo_Ergo]

I think singing is a continuous verb

[ashleyorg]

And also there's nothing wrong with the translation "Please try to sing."

Whats wromg with "try singing a song"?

[Pamela909830]

I put, "Try to sing a song" because 노래 means a song. Even the hover hint said "song," not "sing." Oct. 10, 2019.

[SeanFogart4]

"Do a song" (노래를 하다) is literally how they say sing (노래하다, effectively a less formal version of the other if anything) in Korean. But even the dictionary gives "sing a song" for this, so I haven't a clue why they wouldn't accept it . . .

[Sarah610755]

Still not accepted Aug 21. Will flag it.

[Vstroie]

Its supposed to be 노래하고 해보세요 to be "try to sing" but in this form it would be "try singing" or "try a song"

[choco_latte222]

No duolingo,i sound like a dying rat.

[citraputria]

how about "please sing a song"?

[Melodytyx]

the end of it is "try it", in this case, you don't have it in your translation, which is wrong

[viswarkarman]

On this particular question, Duo gave me a Korean word among the English words in the word bank. Looks like coding error ....

[Pamela909830]

That happens on many choices. I think the program just picks random choices from all the categories as fillers for wrong answers.

what is the difference between 먹어보 and 해보

[Pamela909830]

먹어보세요 means "try to eat" and 해보세요 means "try to do." They are both suggesting that a person should try something.
---This bulgogi is really delicious! Try it. 이 불고기는 아주 맛있어요! 먹어보세요!
---Riding a bicycle is fun. Try it. 자전거를 타는 것이 재미있어요. 해보세요.

[RayOh4]

Or just 'Sing?'

[hyangiixi]

해보 = Try; I think "sing" on its own would just be 노래세요.

[ydAn379043]

That is 노래하세요. Since 노래is noun, you should use 하세요 instead of 세요.

[AlexanderTGIF]

What makes this not say "try a sing"

[Pamela909830]

In English we cannot say "a sing."

[SeanFogart4]

Maybe try "Give us a song." It fits better with the honorific politeness level. Just don't expect Duo to accept it.

[Shvonne95]

"Let's try to sing." should be accepted here :(

[Pamela909830]

Usually when Duolingo wants "Let's" do something, the verb ends with 자 or -ㅂ시다.

[SeanFogart4]

From what I can see with the honorific polite ending it would be inconceivably rude to include yourself here. You're looking for the plain polite form 노래를 해봐요.

[margarita_angel]

~세요 is the imperative form in 해요체

[franxxaes]

What does "해보세요" mean?

[Pamela909830]

"Try to do" whatever came before that phrase.

[Hyacinth893244]

How can we know it's "Let's"? Like, "Let's try to sing". Because with other examples, it is translated as "Lets Let's" even without "우리"

[Pamela909830]

See the answer to Shvonne95 above.

[Marijoski]

"Try to sing it" should be right too, tf

[FahadAnjum4]

My finger accidentally slipped and ended up saying "try to ding"

[Nova696842]

Why isn't "Try this song" accepted?
