Wouldn't 可爱 be lovable? In my English I don't distinguish between 'cute' and 'pretty' to the point where I would use both in the same sentence.

I agree that cute and beautiful together like that feels very strange for this American English speaker
In Chinese, cute would be usually describe the person based on the character and pretty will be her look or appearance.
What's with all these comments on girlfriends and daughters their appearances?

Just use it as vocabulary practice. When you know enough to choose what you want to say you can ditch DuoLingo's attempts to introduce words and grammatical concepts without dwelling on other aspects.
The way I read it ke ai should Translate to adorable, not cute. Cute with pretty is redundant
Why "and also"? Why not just one of them? 和 is for "and". 也 is for also.
i keep seeing people asking and being answered that 的 can be dropped from most of the questions and still be correct. I assume it gets repetitive to say for native speakers or just feels to "exact" and "formal" when talking with friends, or maybe it's just about location
this must be a poor translation... each adjective presumably refers to a different kind of beauty. whats the distinction between them?
他的女朋友很可爱 也很漂亮 was marked wrong, this is different behavior than previous listening examples.
Does anyone think that 可愛 is related to かわいい? (I've seen it in someone else's comment.)

why Duolingo reminds me so much of Chinese/Korean soap operas? "am I pretty?", "is he short?", "my boyfriend loves cats", "your kids are pretty", "your cat is pretty"...
