"You wrote this Chinese character wrong."

Translation: 这个字你写错了。

It's also perfectly correct to say "你这个字写错了“. Chinese is weird like that.

[Rafaela_zzy]

Yeah~ That's true... Em...

[Toppy0]

It does not say "Chinese" character.

I agree. When using the keyboard when giving the answer in Chinese, 这个汉字你写错了。should be accepted.

I thought chinese was pretty consistent with Subject-Verb-Object with just adverbs and modifiers being placed in unfamiliar places. But the answer appears to be Object-Subject-Verb. (source: Integrated Chinese 1 Chapter 1 Grammer #4)

Anyone know why the object is first here? I really wish duolingo would explain things like this so we wouldn't have to brute force learn it.

[Nevin711542]

If it's any consolation, English does it too sometimes in informal conversations. Eg This car I'll drive. You drive the other.

Why not 这个汉字，你写得错了。 ?

[kirimasyaro]

这个汉字，你写错了 is correct

[MichaelLe3139]

It seems to me that Chinese like to put objects at the beginning of sentences.
