"我发现我没有带护照。"

Translation: I realized I did not bring my passport.

[Robin.Ha]

Oh no

[Alison920660]

Can 發現 also be translated as "discovered"?

[Ben310267]

Yes!

[AlexFletch]

why no 了 I presumed that a realisation is a change of state so would include a 了?

[ckjuAOD9]

This sentence how do you define is in the past ?The way is writing means the present. thanks.

[SassyOutca]

I found out should be correct too

[RobinThor]

Is it wrong to say "i realized i have not brought my passport"?

[alex977597]

Yes it is wrong. Present perfect is a present tense so cannot be introduced by a past form. 'I realize I haven't brought my passport' would be correct

[Ant.H]

This isn't actually true. The realisation can take place solely in the past yet the effect of not bringing the passport is still pertinent. It's perfectly valid to use the past simple followed by the present perfect in this case.

[Kzilla2]

Why is ' wo mei you dai hu jiao' translated as 'i didn't bring MY passport'? Shouldn't it be 'wo mei you dai wo de hu jiao'?

[Dr_Jerry]

Chinese is an economical language, so it would be assumed by the context that if you were talking about your own situation, you would mean that you didn't bring your own passport.

And speaking of economical, Duo's insistence on 没有 (for "didn't") instead of simply 没 is flat wrong. The vast majority of Chinese would simply say 我没带护照.

[KX3.]

Yes, although it is a generalisation to say that a vast majority would; both are colloquial and depends on an individual speaker's preferences.

[Dion761029]

I think 带 could also be translated in 'to take', as in 'I realised that I did not take my passport'

[john27rg]

Reported that "i realise that i haven't brought my passport" should also be accepted.

[maartendoc]

发 (fā) = to send out/to show
现 (xiàn) = to appear/present/now/existing
发现 (fāxiàn) = to find/to discover/to realize

护 (hù) = to protect
照 (zhào) = to shine/photo
护照 (hùzhào) = passport

[paul03datura]

'a passport' should also be accepted.

[Celticfiddleguy]

That's accepted now

[Hsn626796]

For God's sake.... what does 没有带 literally mean......?

[Rk5I3]

没有 means "don't have" (有 means 'to have') but it is also used grammatically for past negative.
帯 means 'take (along)' so basically also 'carry, bring.'

[John852625]

There is something wrong with the system as my answer should be accepted.

[Cafeconchurro]

I discovered that I hadn't brought my passport?

[DesmondAllen]

Yes, that is the correct English

[Ambient_Kai]

Both marked wrong:

• "I have realized I didn't bring my passport."

• "I've realized that I didn't bring my passport."

I'd say they're both accurate translations of the Chinese sentence.
Aren't they proper English?

[JaclynYam]

I realized I did not bring my passport translte to Chinese should be 我发现我没有带我的护照

[aizixin]

Tenses don't match. Either present + past perfect or past + pluperfect

[StephanusG1]

I think you mean present perfect + past (I've realised I didn't bring)

[51jaILDb]

Please add :
I realized i did not take my passport
