"손님, 조심하십시오. 물이 뜨겁습니다."

Translation: Sir, please be careful. The water is hot.

[Roxygoesoutside]

Word order is flexible in English dear duolingo

[duhduhduhdaniel]

Seriously. "please be careful sir" was not accepted....

[L33shy_moo]

I literally felt like a fluent goddess when I translated this.

[vefikaO]

[Nia_zinnia]

[ph.4JbIvv]

[ph.A51S0B]

Me too

How are we supposed to know that the word "손님" is referring to a man when by nature it's gender neutral?

[Henry-Feyn]

That doesn't matter. You can use this word everybody.

[MILKcHOCLOKPLOCK]

I think this depends from the context

[Vmk15]

to remember 뜨겁습니다 = hot, think of blackpink's 뜨거워 뜨거워 뜨거워 like fireee

Thank you

[Bella_H_02]

At least the apple isnt hot

[Wavesofkhushi]

Yea

[porkrind94]

son nim does not always mean a girl or woman. It is just a customer or guest of any sex. I put Mr. be careful the water is hot. they said Ms. be careful the water is hot was correct. The other time I put guest be careful the water is hot. They said "Miss be careful the water is hot."- was correct.

[espanhangugeo]

"Customer, be careful please. The water is hot."

That is what I wrote, when I rolled over the vocab word and customer was one of the translations. Why was it wrong?

[wintertriangles]

Well it literally translates to customer, but we don't speak to customers like that in English, we say sir or ma'am or miss.

[Lilli848718]

But, Duolingo does come up with weird sentences like: "the school is low" or "the apple is hot" and stuff like that

[embun17799]

Not as weird as "The cat is not an animal". Then what???

[Deansaster]

A deity

[arevaar]

I said "please be careful sir, the water is hot" but it was wrong

[Daesusunny]

I thought 손님 was gender neutral?? It says sir but I thought it was like the English equivalent of mr/mrs/and miss?

[GiovanniSantucci]

The thing about this in English is that we often don't use any pronoun or address when speaking in the imperative.

[Aerchii]

It says "Sir" for me, but technically, doesn't it mean "Customer" or "Guest"? I mean, the word "손님" is gender neutral.

[yoonjinchaaa]

Those -십기오 endings seems like a tongue twister to me

[meltros]

i'm confused why this sentence (and this course) keeps on changing speech levels from ㅂ시오 to ㅂ니다. what exactly is "formal md." supposed to be about?

[Soumya_btsarmy]

Borahae

[PaulStalte]

Need more time for speaking! Just a second more between words, please

[NiniNinoNina312]

Not me everytime think of Hyunjin" Nae sonnim!"

[epichris]

I think "take care" and "be careful" are totally acceptable to be used colloquially as an English translation for 조심하십시오.

[SofiaVadela]

I just typed: "Sir, please be careful. The water's hot" and that came out as wrong. Tf?

[Hanzo_Ergo]

Maybe duolingo thought ❤❤❤, how can hot be possessed by the water

[R.928]

Please accept "Please be careful, Ma'am." As others have mentioned: 손님 can be Sir, Miss or Ma'am, and word order in English is flexible.

[zenintoji]

this was satisfying to translate for some reason
