"Do you know her?"

Translation: 你认识她吗？

[texttheater]

It says 你认识她吗 here but the exercise only has the words for 你知道她. The latter was accepted as correct. Is it though?

[Fiyalka2]

你知道她(吗) is not correct. 知道 is used for facts, 认识 for persons, places, movies, even things you can be "acquainted" with personally. Many languages distinguish these (for instance French: savoir/connaître; Spanish: saber/conocer; German: wissen/kennen).
Examples:
你认识她。 = You know her (personally, you met her).
你知道她不喝茶。= You know (the fact) that she does not drink tea.
你认识北京。= You know Beijing (personally, you have been there).
你知道北京很大。You know (the fact) that Beijing is big.
你认识《哈利·波特与阿兹卡班囚徒》。= You know "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban" (personally, you have read the book or watched the movie).
你知道《哈利·波特与阿兹卡班囚徒》是一本书。= You know (the fact) that "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban" is a book.

Nice explanation and examples!

[Decyde]

I was also desperately looking for the 吗.

[Sunshine_9687]

I am level 10

[GabrieleDi403843]

Would be nice if someone could tell us why this is automatically a question without the "question character"

[OmarAvila897625]

Because "Ma" is for yes-no questions

[SaruPeruye]

Because "ma" is some sort of question marker ;)

I don't have the option to make the latter, either. 认 and 知 are both absent from the list of choices.

I ended up having to select: 你了解她 in order to pass.

[Sunshine_9687]

look I am chinese level 10

[SusieLim2]

I don't know the chinese word 'know'

[deactivated user]

认识 That's know.

[zoeparkes]

How was i meant to know that

[wqa]

Why is not 你们认识她吗? valid?

[PannaPolk]

Yeah, i typed the same thing, and it didn't accept it :/

[dlan2012]

I think it's because 你们 is more of a you (collective). Making 你们认说她吗？ translate as "do you all know her?"

[Seymoore1]

I wonder why 你认识不认识她？ is not a valid option. It should be.

[NuNu310703]

Why do you have bu in there?

[Lollygal233]

this is real old, but it means do you know her or not pretty much, and is fully acceptable as the first one in chinese.

[ph_1980]

I didn't have the option to choose "认识" despite it being in both solutions offered afterwards.

[MisterTipp]

no 吗 or 认识？

[Desmond1132]

both ok,不 can also be a question in oral language

[deborah.jo6]

Do you know her.
How can you tell if it's single or plural. You, in this sentence can be one person as well as a group. There is no way of knowing which is meant.

[MaddiHaack]

It didnt give me the correct characters for ren shi.

[Sikeryali]

认识 (Rènshì) = To know, understanding, be acquainted with

[StephanieS108063]

We havent learned two of these characters

[P1A3t]

When do we use ma versus ne?

[Sikeryali]

吗 (Ma) = What?

Above is the literal translation of the character 吗 . It is usually appended at the end of a statement to convert it into interrogative.

Examples:

他们是学生 (Tāmen shì xuéshēng) = They are students.

他们是学生吗? (Tāmen shì xuéshēng ma?) = Are they students?

她是医生 (Tā shì yīshēng) = She is doctor.

她是医生吗? (Tā shì yīshēng ma?)= Is she doctor?

[John873739]

My answer should be accepted

[agnesiafleur]

I wrote the exact same thing... how was I marked wrong @-@?

[Olgi_Tawakhal]

Where is 吗?

[Canac817688]

what is the difference between Shèn me and me?

[AdTL18]

Maybe I am being a bit nit-picky, but English is ambiguous so could be 你们认适他吗？

[Musawir16]

I forgot 吗 3 times

[FrankLobo22]

I forgot to add ma?

[KostasLem]

''niii zhen shi ta'' was marked as mistake. i am so comfused

[Aj1WhO]

Why its not accepting

[UTfzCm]

So it is stuck?

[UTfzCm]

So it is stuck?
