"What juice do you want?"

Translation: 你想要什么果汁？

[Dr_Jerry]

Seems to me 你想喝什么汁 should be accepted. The 要 isn't necessary and the prompt didn't specify fruit juice -- though, admittedly, one would assume it.

[Rumactree]

I agree that 要 doesn’t seem to be necessary here.

你想什么果汁？is what I tried (marked wrong).

[Rumactree]

But, on reflection, it does sound nicer with the double syllable. So I’ll try to learn it that way.

By itself, 想 is "to miss," so it might be confusing

你想什么果汁？ why it is not accepted?

[ArundeepRa]

What if 什么 is after 果汁 ?? What does it mean then ? 你想要果汁什么 ?

[Dr_Jerry]

Just to explain, the 什么 is "what" and the 果汁 is "fruit juice". So if you put the "what" at the end the syntax is wrong.

It won't make sense.

[Keith_APP]

It is not correct in a question.

[nekoorishin]

It won't make sense.

Please help me

[Tarra607123]

Im still having trouble translating it

[Tarra607123]

This would be accepted

[Salmon0205]

Why can't I use 你想什麼果汁? Duolingo is accepting both 想要 and 想 in many sentences but why not this?

[andys_ittutoring]

I used 你想要什么汁？and was marked incorrect. Isn't 汁 by itself indicative of 'juice'? The question didn't specify 'fruit juice'.

[Celticfiddleguy]

By itself 汁 means "juice" in the sence of "fluid" or "sauce". When meaning a fruit juice it's either 果汁 or the specific juice 苹果汁, 橙汁 etc. (I don't think I've ever heard 汁 alone in this context) But in English it's normally shortened to simply "juice". Admittedly it takes some "reading between the lines" but that's language learning.
