she looks weird today

[Patrick_Dark]

This exercise seems strange today. "She seemed strange today." (past tense) is allowed, but "She seems strange today." (present tense) is prohibited. Both should be permitted.

[anguschan916]

She looks very strange today.

[seanxluong]

How do you we know whether it's 他 or 她 just by listening to the sound? The correct answer is enforcing people to use 她 for no reason.

[Fabrikos]

Yes, same problem here for the listening test. I feel "他今天看起来很奇怪" should be accepted.

[Shungnai]

Today she looks very strange.

[vertices]

In what context would you use this sentence?

[CiciWong3]

My heritage speaker intuition tells me that it's not so much physical strangeness but more like something is off about their mood/aura/behavior.

[Gabrielle145359]

So would "She seems strange today" be a better translation? I seem to recall 看起来 can also mean "seems" as oposed to "looks".

[M.Clark4]

I thing seem is better than look. Otherwise the exercise is useless. Why teach a phrase like "she looks strange today." Unless your friend is wearing peacock feathers you dont need this sentence very much.

[Zarazilla]

I was wondering this too. If this is about emotions I would translate this as "she looks a bit off today" as "she looks strange today" is more about her appearance, e.g. She is usually a preppy but is wearing a hot pink leopard print dress today

[tankenbahwl]

Someone dyed their hair but you can't quite place it maybe? Someone did their makeup differently?

[RogerZeitgeist]

As a native English speaker, the sentence, "She looks rather strange today." is acceptable.

[Hsn626796]

Why the 很 ?

[Doug264842]

Please make the listening exercises accept both 他 and 她 or give us more context.

[Karoliina765050]

'She's looking strange today.' Present continuous should be accepted as well.

[mb4V3]

She seems really strange today.

Anybody else getting frequent "an error occurred, try again later" messages? I never had them before until i started using Duo Plus!

你为什么问？
他每天看起来很奇怪。

[Victoria662240]

why can't "kan qi lai" be translated as "it seems like" or "it appears like"?
Ex. It seems like she is (acting) very strange today.
