"I'm not hungry; I'm very thirsty"也应该可以了. 你们的答案数据库请调整了. Please fix!

[NasuSamaruk0]

The answer is correct, but what about "I'm not hungry. I'm very thirsty"? This is also acceptable.

[KorneelSna]

Can somesone explain what's going on with the pronunciation of 不饿? Duolingo should explain phonetical assimilation if that's what this is.

[e1VpVxkl]

The pronunciation is correct now.

[JGreene68356]

Why does the audio sound like "bu le" when it is in a sentence?

[JGduolingoer]

Well, YOU think it is bu le.

[Devon711559]

The 好喝 Word Bank tile is silent and as usual has been silent for the whole session. Even though it's not needed for this answer, I want to hear it anyway. It certainly makes the other questions intolerable, I'm so sick of this I'm dropping duolingo Mandarin. Please inform [e-mail] if they ever fix it.

I'm not hungry; but, i'm thirsty.

Proper english.

I think this is the first time I have seen Duo use a semi-colon instead of a comma splice (the latter being ungrammatical in English). So in this situation the semi-colon in the answer given is actually proper English I believe. This is because the second clause is linked to the first and balances it. A conjunction is not required if the semi-colon is correctly used as it is here.

Using a conjunction is also an option but if you are going to use a conjunction such as "but" to join the two independent clauses the semi-colon is not required.
