Would it be acceptable to assume that this person with the dirty windows is "my" neighbor or "our" neighbor? I can't think of a situation when one would refer to a neighbor as "the" neighbor.
Prosím o přidání i britského spellingu "neighbour" - díky podtrhnutému apostrofu + přebytečnému "u" mi to vždy vyhodnotí jako chybu a neuzná odpověď.
Klikněte v takových případech na "Ohlásit problém - Moje odpověď měla být přijata". Překladatelům se pak věta dostane na stůl mnohem dřív než z diskuze. Díky.
Another request for the British spelling òf neighbour to be accepted as well as the American, please. The British spelling is labelled as a typo, so the option to report it isn't available.
British spellings are normally treated by Duolingo centrally. If they miss it for neighbour, it is good to complain to them in the main forum.
We can add it to our sentences manually, but it is not what we are normally supposed to do.
It seems there is something more going on and we will try to investigate.
"Neighbor's windows are dirtier than ours." without the "THE" is not possible in this sentence?
You need "the" for specificity on the English side, because we're talking about some particular neighbor's windows and there's no possessive is the Czech sentence.
