你知道怎么走吗 should be accepted. It's the most common way to ask for directions in the Mainland, anyhow.

[Spoofer4]

Do you know de wey?

[deactivated user]

Do you know when a meme dies?

[Lightning_11]

How about when your account dies (aka: he's a [deactivated user])... XD

[JairoCaste19]

知道 is NOT in the options

[NikPlavsic]

Wow this would be useful if I ever get on chinese vr chat

[Kwirky1983]

renshi is for people or stuff you learn.
Here the chinese sentence is wrong...Why i feel they are chinese people the creator of the lessons?
so many big basic mistake...

[Eanorel2]

I am a beginner in Chinese but I don't think the chinese phrase is wrong. I got the impresion "renshi" = being familiar with someone or something. So when you want to ask "do you know the way" you actually ask if you are familiar with that specific itinerary.

On the other hand "zhidao" means literaly to know something as in a specific information. So if you want to use "zhidao" you should say something like "do you know how to go [somewhere]". To me "ni zhidao lu ma" sounds as if you ask the other person if they know the meaning of the word "lu".

This is just a guess of mine. Please, anyone fluent in Chinese, verify it or correct me.

[StephanieB87596]

I think the sentence is not just asking if you kind of know the way to a place, but are you familiar with the way there. An intimacy with the route, not just all the turns, street names or cardinal directions.

[Iga561457]

So, for those of us learning Spanish, you're suggesting that renshi = conocer and zhidao = saber?

[tim981145]

yea I guess its the same with the german "kennen" = 認識 and "wissen" = 知道

[Calle300259]

You seem to be on the right track!

[PYanClayto]

Good guess! however, renshi is being familiar specifically with people, and zhidao is if you know something. if you wanted to ask if someone what lu meant, you would say ni zhidao lu de yisi ma?

[saracmk]

认识 is usually only used within the context of knowing people, I've never seen/heard it used any other time. I feel like 知道 or even 会 would be more appropriate.

[tim981145]

I said “你认识不认识路“ but it was marked as wrong! I thought there is no difference between "吗“ and ”verb + 不 + verb" for asking yes-no-questions. Am I wrong?

[Lightning_11]

I thought the same... Try reporting it.

Edit: The way I see it, using "吗" is like saying "Are you at home?" (as an example) while using ”verb + 不 + verb" is more like "Are you home or not?!"

[PYanClayto]

also, you can't do verb+bu+verb and have ma at the end.

認不認識應該是對的，認識不認識應該是錯的

[simplysarah]

Ni renshi zenme zou ma? Could that also work?

[SnAiL648617]

"zen me zou" is usually used to ask where a specific place is/how to get to a certain place. "ren shi" can be used just to ask in general

[belstar128]

When do i need to use 吗.

[MyykkeSD]

吗 makes it a yes or no question

[Calle300259]

Also thought this sentence to be weird, but according to my walking, talking dictionary it's perfectly fine apparently...

[OlegSkydiv]

DL does not accept the sentence that it indicated as the right one... I am confused...

[NasuSamaruk0]

你知道路嗎？should also be accepted.

[Dr_Jerry]

I'm afraid that wouldn't be correct at all. You'd be more or less asking someone if they knew what a street was.

[PYanClayto]

kind of...

[DerGoldmann]

Is "你認識都嗎？" the traditional Chinese equivalent?

[OhLordAmen]

你認識路嗎？ is the traditional

[HughMungus52061]

Yes
