They keep changing out the result to correct answer, which is making it hard to learn by memorization for me.
Are the words backwards every time i try putting it in the way they have it it comes out wrong.
Why is Duo starting to throw in symbols and sentences I've never seen before? This grammer has not been taught in any of my lessons. This is happening A LOT in all of my reviews, but I dont know these new symbols....
Because 姓 is last name so it should be in there and 呢 sorta means and your/s so overall it should be 你 姓 什 么
I typed 你姓什么 but in was marked wrong. And gave me unfamiliar characters as the right answer.
I think the hints should be a little clearer on this, I always struggle to remember this one and the hints don't seem to be in a correct order
It would be helpful that they write the English translations as well as the sounds the characters make when you have to do pair matching. All I know for sure is what sound goes with which character, I know nothing about what it means. And even the slow speech is too fast to fully hear every syllable.
Thank you for writing this! I thought this was just me. First I thought maybe a 1-to-1 translation wasn't really possible, but even for the numbers this was a problem. Sound and character, yes. English translation - just guess!
There are syllables / symbols in this one that were never previously taught and the tips don't help. Wirh no explanation of why thats the answer. I'm getting tired of the rote learning with no explanation in these lessons. And the audio doesn't work for all of them as an added bonus. No way I xoukd gwt the right answer other than take a screenshot when I got it wrong and refer to that next time.
Sometimes they add characters that they never taught, like in this case the pinyin de. For a beginner i was confused
I answered， 你姓什么呢？，and I thought it was correct, but it said I am wrong! Is it really wrong?
It isn't wrong. I also answered that but it counted it as wrong for some reason.....
I love how it tells me the correct answer like I'm fluent enough to understand my mistake... x#
I remember ni kui xing from my lessons 30years ago....i cannot remember the writing of kui though.

You can add it there but it isn't necessary, the shen me already asks the question, ne here would be to change the tone of the question to a friendlier, softer one.

New stuff added here that hasnt been taught even in other previous questions today so no way of getting this right.
Chinese people would never phrase it as "你的姓氏是什么?" It's excessively wordy and awkward. Sounds like Duolingo plugged this into google translate.
This didn't even appear in the exercises earlier, so why bring this up suddenly?

It is only showing me what the characters sound and look like, but not what they mean in English.
I followed the hints exactly, but somehow it was still wrong. I looked back at it, and noticed that the characters for "what" came after the characters for "is your last name". Is that how it actually works in Chinese? If so that's kind of confusing, but if its an actual rule, i can learn it.
Some characters have not been taught yet and are not pronounced when clicking on them.
These orders seem strange for natives, just like someone say "your name what ?"
I didn't click the submit, because I was still forming my sentence but it automatically said it was wrong. Did that happen to anyone else? If not I might have just bumped it.
