"她也不知道。"
Translation:She does not know either.

i got this sentence as an audio and wrote "他也不知道" instead of "她也不知道“. Shouldn't the second one be accepted also as both 'he' and 'she' are the exact same pronunciation wise?
Did it say it was wrong for you? Cause it was marked wrong for me. Wondering if anyone else had the same issue?
I agree. It seems that the developers are working on allowing 她 and 他 to both be accepted for listening exercises, as I've noticed both being accepted in certain cases. Not all yet, unfortunately.

Duo - please fix this ASAP. This is yet another example of an audio question using "ta" where it is impossible to know whether to use "她“ or "他". Currently wrong on 6/26/19.
There are two forms of he/she. "他“ is masculine and "她” is feminine; however, both of these pronouns have the same pronunciation. So, the system should accept both masculine and feminine answers.
Also and either are interchangeable. So should be given marks for both
I am wondering why It could be Not + either? Should it be She does not know neither?
"She doesn't know neither" is a double negative and so isn't really used in standard or formal English. "She doesn't know either" is used instead.
也 means also so it says "she also doesn't know" but that's funny in English so you would say either

Because "also not" is grammatically incorrect in English. It should be "not ... either".

ANOTHER case of 他 vs 她 not being interchangeable on the audio exercise when using a keyboard. When it's an audio exercise and I have to type the answer myself, then both should be accepted!
他也不知道 should also be accepted for this listening exercise. It's too bad "my answer should be accepted" isn't one of the options under report...
either.......utter pain when missed but sentence is still the same so no problem..
Both "she also don't know" and "she don't know either" are incorrect; the problem with both of those answers is that the verb does not agree with the subject. Here is the correct conjugation of the verb "to do:"
I do
you do
he does
she does
it does
we do
you do
they do
Accordingly, "she do not" is incorrect, as is "she don't;" the correct conjugation is "she does not" or "she doesn't." DuoLingo should and does accept "She does not know either."
Im getting tired of losing hearts for sentences that arent translated exactly like the answer key. She does not know either = she also dont know ? No?
How is this form of 'know' different from the last form of know we learned "ren shi"?
知道 (zhi1 dao4) is "to know" in a more general sense of "to be aware of" or "to have knowledge," of a fact, for instance.
认识 (ren4 shi) is "to know" in the sense of "to be acquainted with," "to be familiar with," or "to recognize," a friend or an acquaintance, for instance.
我认识燕子，我知道她是一位医生。 "I know Yanzi, I know she is a doctor."
没 is only used to negate past actions (actions which did not occur) and to negate the verb 有.
请问，my native language is spanish and I would like to know why do I have to use either in this sentence? When i did the sentence 我不知道 it doesn't seems to be necessary... Please help me
Hola amigo. Podrías decirme en español lo que querías decir con la frase en chino, de modo que pueda comprender tu duda... Porque en ocasiones Duolingo no está intentando enseñar una expresión común de la lengua sino una estructura que se necesitará luego. Saludos.
Where does the "either" come into this statement? Which character is it?
Personally, I feel it can be "She also does not know " but Duolingo prefers "She does not know either" is better.
也
Because it's a bad English. Duo is focusing on making you change order to stress the difference.
