"Please take a look at the menu."

Translation: 请看一下菜单。

[eugenetehyj]

Why is 请看菜单一下 wrong...?

[Jerryy2012]

请看一下菜单is more commonly used in Chinese. 看一下 is a phrase that means take a look.

[ataylorex]

Is it technically wrong, or just not the best answer?

[sebast1ans]

So it should still be accepted or not?

[NathanRasm]

The standard position of 一下 is right after the verb, before the object.

I think this is one of the so-called "verbal measure words" or "AN for verbs." Other ones tell how many times the action happens. All come right after the verb.

[SixtoWall]

It is OK

[mieko_srp55]

Not wrong. I got marked it as correct

[Clara604861]

I got it marked as wrong.

[SixtoWall]

It is OK with me

[Cat722536]

So... it would literally translated to "please look a bit/a moment at the menu" ?

[purplelotus88]

为什么我不能说 “请看一看菜单”？

"qing kan cai dan" is also accepted.

[SparkitEle]

请 看一下菜单
marked as wrong, I cannot se what the difference is to the correct solution

[Ickyboogaloo]

If it is an exact copy of your answer it is probably the space between 请 and 看. There are no spaces in Mandarin. Bit harsh to mark it wrong though. I would consider it more of a typo in this case.

[maartendoc]

菜 (cài) = dish/vegetable
单 (dān) = list
菜单 (càidān) = menu

Some lookalikes:
请 (qǐng) = please
谁 (shéi) = who
