"there's no rubbish bin here" was rejected but should be accepted

[DominicYoue]

Bloody Americans ;)

[KX3.]

"There is no rubbish bin here" is accepted now.

[wordgeek416]

垃圾 is pronounced "lājī" in mainland China, "lèsè" in Taiwan.

[KX3.]

I always thought it had different characters, e.g. 勒色. Any idea why there's a different pronunciation for the same characters only in Taiwan?

[wordgeek416]

According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taiwanese_Mandarin#Differences_from_Mainland_Mandarin

"lèsè" came from Wu, and was the standard pronunciation in mainland Mandarin until 1949, when the ROC government fled to Taiwan.

English has many synonyms for "rubbish" and for "bin" and for "rubbish bin": "trash can", dustbin", etc. All should be accepted as correct.

[modernistblues]

also garbage can should be accepted.

[PeaceJoyPancakes]

It is now.

"there's no rubbish bin here" was rejected but should be accepted

[Victoria662240]

Why can't I say "there aren't any trash cans here."?

[deejayvaidya]

"Wastebasket" should also be accepted for "trash can"

[JamesBacon7]

what is a trash can

[Gabrielle145359]

If you're British you call it a rubbish bin: the container that you put garbage in.

[Josh863359]

"there is no garbage bin here" was not accepted.

[Rk5I3]

The English sentence hurts my head. I'd really prefer getting "There are no trash cans (or rubbish bins or whatever) here" from the word bank, or even "There aren't any trash cans here." Dunno why though.

[proleter]

Shouldn't "there are no trash cans here" be acceptable?

[PeaceJoyPancakes]

Yes.

[Jareth291858]

I hate it when I can't find a trash can.

[KVRP4]

Is 'Here are no rubbishbins' incorrect?

[PeaceJoyPancakes]

Yes, it's wrong. You could say "there are no rubbish bins here". You could also say "here there are no rubbish bins" but it's less usual.

When we start a sentence with "here" (without a subsequent "there" as in my second example), we expect to be presented with the item mentioned, not its lack.

[Noah1973]

There are no trash cans here does not work.

[GrikesLee]

Basket should also be accepted as it is van also bebused in English

[PeaceJoyPancakes]

"Wastebasket" or "wastepaper basket" is a more limited term. Collins translates it as "废纸篓" ("廢紙簍").

We don't say "trash basket", "garbage basket", or rubbish basket.

[JustinHume1]

Here in Canada we say "garbage can" instead of trash can.

[PeaceJoyPancakes]

Which is accepted.

[0MN1L1NGU4L]

There's no trash can. :c

[Dejo]

"garbage pail'' was not accepted.
