"四十"

Translation: Forty

[clairemariehd]

Should accept "fourty" as a correct answer due to the fact it is a commonly mistaken error.

[Bigcatlove1]

Definitely. Fourty is what I type, and It's really annoying when it marks it wrong, but you know what it is.

[Hipenguin13]

I did that too

[vujicivana]

That's what I typed as well. Got it "wrong"

[smiba11]

Made exactly the same mistake. Its obviously not the right english grammar but I feel like it should accept it as a typo

[Nathan734508]

I didn't know that fourty was wrong because I never type it. I type 40

[Lioness116275]

exactly it said the exact same thing to me

[alexbridges]

How does the fact that everyone makes this mistake makes it "right"? Just saying.

[_-Gus-_]

Not "right" but duo should accept it as a typo

[dantono29]

Me too :(

[DonutKillM]

I agree just to be fair for non native English speaking people. We are trying to study Mandarin not English.

[TypicalJew]

The problem is, that even native speakers do such mistakes.

[mab615805]

I think that it is OK to be corrected when the English spelling is wrong, makes me improve my English writing at the same time, and I get to practise the same exersise one more time, which I do not if it is just a typo. (I too wrote fourty instead of forty). After all: We are learning two languages at the same time, Duo means two! Of course here it is like learning three: Chinese characters, Pin Yin and English at the same time!

[CalebDorse]

I just typed 40

[Mochisung_OT.23]

smart. lol

[LindaChi4]

@clairemariehd, what Duo told me, he said it was a typo. I wrote it to. My teacher doesn't have good eyes

[Hannaha70093]

I heard "sushi"(ps, I'm obsessed with sushi) and when I saw that it acctually meant, "forty", I almost died laughing. I'm also studying Japanese, which uses the same letters when it comes to numbers but with different pronunciations, so I was very shocked that it would be pronounced that way. This also makes me curious, how do they pronounce "sushi" in Chinese? The life a multilingual is full of mysteries!

[RolandHarris68]

Sushi in Chinese is 寿司， pronounced Shousi.

[Mochisung_OT.23]

so the 'sh' and the 's' are backwards in that case if you get what i mean lol

[Mochisung_OT.23]

ohmyword!! same! i love sushi so much im also learning japanese and korean too

[2lmD2wQO]

Same!

[DarknessOf2]

Another way to write 40 in Chinese is: 卌

[Mochisung_OT.23]

thats really confusing lol

[HarmonyMor7]

No it isn’t...

[Alex_Keating]

It should accept fourty as at least a typo as it's quite a common mistake and it could have genuinely been a typo in some peoples circumstances.

[tacowaste]

I put "fourty" lmao

[Redpandagirll]

My answer was Forty, and it said it was wrong! That IS the answer!!!

[Dark_Angel...16]

I said si shi bt still it said it's incorrect

[HarmonyMor7]

You need to write the English translation of it, which would be 40 or forty

[Lioness116275]

oh great it gives me a wrong because of the way I spell 40 not right

[Teresa675777]

Fourty is how forty is spelled here

[HarmonyMor7]

No it isnt

[FebyAngria]

Forty itu bener

[TiaWillock]

I thought it was spelled fourty not forty

[HarmonyMor7]

It’s forty...

[JTVS101]

I put 49 and it worked

[Justin625873]

I dont even know how to english

[HarmonyMor7]

Okay...

[ElectricKi]

wow harmony way to be salty

[Caroline281464]

I also said fourty

[AvaGrava]

It should allow fourty too

[leo173450]

It is wrong

[HarmonyMor7]

No

[Sina850825]

so confused between four and ten!

[Joshua420931]

Wo ho! 12 in a row correct!ヽ((◎д◎))ゝ

[Mochisung_OT.23]

i accidently put 'fourty' but then it said that the correct answer was '40' lol

[Gaby222919]

It seems the mic does not record/detect the second sound or word...

[JonasEvant2.0]

四是四，十是十，十四是十四，四十是四十。 :)

[martin1490]

No. I got it correct. Fourty. Sorry for speaking real english...

[Dan171613]

Same

[Teresa675777]

Agreed, I have the same issue

[_ISHWAR_]

I wrote 4l and i got correct answer. Can anyone tell me why?

[Joshua420931]

I did on one yua instead of yuan ಠ︵ಠ

[Joshua420931]

But I got it right?!＼(◎o◎)／

[BarrieBlea]

Spelling mistake

[Shuichi553610]

I typed 40 and it said I was wrong

[2lmD2wQO]

Does anyone else think 'sushi'? Now I'm hungry.

[Carrot485003]

Fourty is spelled right i agree with you all

[Dark_Angel...16]

I was said 40 but still said it was wrong...

[Skylandking]

I type 49 and got it right

[Mehedi82892]

how?

[Mochisung_OT.23]

same tho bc a few people have said that idk how thats possible

[Bil406352]

It should be wrong not error as I typed 50

[Diana503089]

In chineese forty, why is there two that mean the same thing? The + means forty but in some lessons it meant Ten. So I am confused. Can sombody help me with that sentence?

[levansel]

四十

[confused.sloth]

I, Erich, am the dumbest person alive. on the NUMBERS course typed Sushi as the answer... to... forty... literally 四十... FORTY... wow.

[MichaelHar333001]

I accidentally type in Chinese characters bruh

[Adam393449]

Please let me keep speaking until i get it right
