"给我两个鸡蛋。"

Translation: Give me two eggs.

[cazort]

Question, because 鸡 is "chicken" and "蛋" is egg, I assume "鸡蛋" is a chicken egg...and then you use something else with 蛋 for other types of eggs, like “鸭蛋" = duck egg? or "鹌鹑蛋"=quail eggs? Is it not like in English where "egg" defaults to "chicken egg", because Chinese culture more widely consumes other kinds of eggs?

[Reverberant]

Exactly.

[VIXX_LuvMyself]

Thanks for that. I was wondering why they teach "蛋" for egg and then use "鸡蛋" for egg.

[Reverberant]

"Give me two chicken eggs" should work as well

[Patrick_Dark]

Yes. Just tried it and it's still rejected.

[luminary23]

Yes, I've reported it because it should be correct... is Duo-Chinese still kinda beta?

[wiltblooco]

Just tried it and it now works

[JesusJhon]

there is even no chicken in the choice bar

[Andrew-Lin]

給我兩個雞蛋。
You can also use 颗/顆(kē) for the classifier.

Isn't it possible to translate "两个" as "a couple"?
I think I have seen this as a possible translation somewhere here on Duolingo, which made me wonder that.

[Kivolamuzikisto]

一对 (yī duì) or 双 (shuāng) are better translations for "couple" but as we often use "a couple" to mean two things that aren't necessarily linked or joined (as the word couple implies) your translation works fine here.

[GabrielPrates93]

Thanks a lot for making that clear

[TarGrrrl]

I tried that just to see if it was accepted but it was not

[GeraldWate3]

If you say this in Spanish, they will think it very funny.

[Mohamad365703]

In Arabic too.

[Redkamel]

Give Me two chicken eggs still fails. I might want duck eggs. egg is chicken in english by default but give us merit for being specific
