"她们很喜欢说话。"
Translation:They love talking.

I got this as a "Type what you hear" listening exercise, and I typed 他们很喜欢说话 (which is obviously pronounced exactly the same as 她们很喜欢说话), and it was marked incorrect. There is no option to report my answer as also being correct.
Please make sure that both answers are accepted for the "Type what you hear" exercise.

come on guys, this was an audio translation question sounds the same whether it is male or female. It marked that was 她们 and not 他们
There is nothing mention about how they speak, and i think that your sentence might be interpreted both ways so it's better to translate this as "really like" or "love"
It should be they like to talk because love is 爱, but it says 喜欢 which means like, also 很喜欢 means like very much.
What hanzi is used as default when we don't know the gender or when there's a group, 他 or 她?
Why didn't the translation say "really"
Or
Why out 很 if the English doesn't include its meaning?
@Hsn - What is the meaning of ' that you put between n and t in didn't? Since it has not been explained in your sentence, please drop it.
Your suggestion about "really" is exaxtly the same as my suggestion to you about '.
I love how in the audio lesson they don't accept 他们... like gossiping is just for girls
For the one billionth ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ time, DuoLingo, 她 sounds exactly like 他. So stop fixing these ambiguities one at a time and FIX THEM ALL! Get proactive. Take responsibility. Act like a professional. Don't wait for people to report these obvious oversights.
shouldn't "those girls really like talking" be accepted? Am I correct that 她 is female
@Lien - it can also be "women". Or mothers, or grandmothers or "Aunts and ballerinas"...
Since we don't know, we just say "They".
她 is "she". 她们 is "they" for an all-female group like "ellas" in Spanish.
