Her relationships with her colleagues and the manager are all very good should be accepted
I don't think "She has good relationships with her colleagues and managers" should be rejected, there's no indicator of singular for either
The only thing I would add to that correction would be "with all of her..." because the Chinese sentence includes 都
"She has a good relationship with her coworkers and manager" should be accepted.

This is one of the ones with many possible English wordings. This time I put "Her relationships with both her colleagues and her manager are good".
Way too specific of an answer! Stop being so anal. The farther I get the less I want to learn.
Since the sentence uses 都 (all) the better translation is to pluralize relationship.

For everyone saying that there's no way to differentiate between a singular or plural reading of 关系, the 都 signifies that definitely more than one relationship is meant, hence it should be plural.
"She has a good relationship with both her colleagues and manager." also ok.
'She has a good relationship with both her manager and her colleagues' should be accepted and not correct to 'all her manager and her colleagues'.
'Both' is a better English translation of 都 in this sentence.
This is so annoying I have to keep guessing whether it's going to be a word for word trans or not
I used coworkers instead of colleagues and it said it was wrong. Shouldn't this still be ok?

The correct answer doesn't show the meaning of "都". I used "both" in front of "her colleagues and manager", but didn't pass.
'All her relationships with ... are good' = 'Her relationships with ... are all good"

In the Chinese sentence, is 都 attached directly to 关系 or is it supposed to modify everything after 跟？
Is it possible to say 跟她的同事和经理都的关系 or can 都 only be used after 关系 ？
"All of her relationships with her colleagues and managers are good" should also be accepted.

Actually, the key here is 很好, which is at the end of the sentence. 都 comes before that, and you can put many things in front e.g. 面和饭都很好吃、她和她妹妹都很好、衣服和首饰我都喜欢 and so on.
In this case, the structure is：(more than 1 thing/part) + 都 + (description of those things/part).
I think it is unintelligible to stick 都 in the middle like that. Look at it this way: everything up through the word 关系 is the subject. 都 needs to come after the subject, before the verb (or in this case, predicate adverb&adjective).

"Her relationships with her colleagues and manager" (她跟她的同事和经理的关系) is the subject and 都 goes after it.

It's easy to think of 都 as being linked to the subject, but it's not. Since 很 acts as a verb and 都 is an adverb, 都 has to be used before 很. In Chinese grammar, it modifies the verb, not the subject.

Currently not accepted but should be: "Her relationships with her colleagues and manager are all very good."
Dont mark us wrong because of plural amd singular in a language which does not specify. This question needs to be removed
"Her relationship with her colleagues and her manager is all good" is correct but not accepted. In English relationship or relationships are both correct in this sentence.
"She has a good relationship with her colleagues and manager."
I think this is improper English. There appears to be subject verb disagreement. You cannot have a singular relationship between two parties: colleagues and a manager

Why doesn't "She has a good relationship with her colleagues and manager." work? Answer me, Duolingo

It also doesn't indicate whether its relationship singular or plural. I dint think it makes a huge difference and both can be said but only plural is accepted.

This site is really anal when it comes to English expressions. Looks like a person who can't speak either English nor Chinese. Between the exesessive adds and poor translation. I'm using two sites that have Chinese teachers who are fluent in both languages. What a huge difference

"All of her relationships with the manager and her colleagues are good" should be accepted.
Please Duolinguo get a native English speaker to do the answers for the Chinese topic. Clearly you haven't otherwise so many perfectly good answers would not be accepted.

Do you know what's funny? Duolingo's house is in Pennsylvania, so someone out there (between the german hamish) should speak english... but every correction is up to algorithms.
Strictly speaking, "relationship", like other "-ship" words, is a collective state noun, and therefore makes no sense in plural. If you want to count it, use "relations". Relationship is the state of being related, or having relations with others.

Either is OK. She can have one relationship with her colleagues and one with her manager, or they can all be in one relationship together.
Make your mind up Mr. Hippy. Only a few posts earlier you were adamant that "relationships" was the only answer; you even ridiculed someone who dare to suggest the singular form was an acceptable answer . Better stop smoking weed and being so self righteous.
Her relationship with her colleagues and manager are all good..原来relationship 必须加s
how the fk am i supposed to know whether there is one or more colleagues?
It said my answer was wrong because I didn't put in the word "her". I knew there should be one, but it didn't have one for me to make the sentence with!!!! Now I lost the round, the game is so screwed up!!!!
