"桌子上面有碗。"

Translation: There is a bowl on the table.

I think "A bowl is on the table." should be accepted.

I also tried "The bowl is on the table.", but it's less clear whether that should be accepted given that this seems to be a generic statement.

Wrong, as "There are bowls" is regarded as wrong. The number of bowls is not specified in this sentence. It can mean a bowl or bowls. In the context where we talk about our observation that a single bowl exists, without mentioning other things, most likely we would say 有一個碗.

[AbunPang]

I would only say 一個碗 if it’s somehow important that there is exactly one bowl on the table. Otherwise I would just say 碗 and leave the number unspecified, even if it is in fact just one.

But aside from that I completely agree with you, “There are bowls on the table” should definitely be accepted as well.

Totes agreed!

Sound for 有碗 seems to be missing.

Oh, does my username still comes out as a string of number? I hate it… it's like a prison number LOL

Must be a text not linked to your username.

"On the table are bowls" should also be correct.

[miususey]

"On the table is a bowl" was not accepted. I don't see the difference?

"On top of" doesn't mean the same as "on" wow. I had no idea, thanks to this shit app I know now
