"Siete tedesche, vero?"

Translation: You are German, right?

[dnovinc]

I am not sure but I think "Siete tedeschi, vero?" should also be accepted.

[marziotta]

Definitely, please report it. :)

[wiplala]

I reported it,

[arekolek]

I had both "tedesche" and "tedeschi" answers available in a single choice question (-_-). Tedeschi is still not accepted, I reported it.

[WingFan]

3 years later, DL still disagrees....frustrating.

[IARose]

And nothing has changed

[ackworth]

You are German, true? conveys the same meaning I would have thought.

[ChristineM866417]

Or "You are German, yes?"

[damiano.ro2]

why "you are german, aren't you?" is not accepted?

[gui.doz_on_IG]

same problem here

[TomyTomaso]

That 'aren't you?' would be better translated as 'non e' vero?" in Italian, to keep the negation in the tag question. "Siete tedeschi, non e' vero?" = "You're German, aren't you?"

[RevaMinkof]

Why is you are German, true? Not accepted

[MB1010]

"Right" sounds american to me.

[brianhb]

'vero' at the end of a question can have several translations according to the context, and doesn't always translate best as ' true'. In this sentence 'aren't you' would probably be a more natural English translation.

[JohnShevill]

I said "Are you really German?", surely this is acceptable?

[gui.doz_on_IG]

• Are you really German = siete davvero Tedesche?
• You are German, right? = siete Tedesche, vero?

Both make sense, but it's not the same thing.
The first sounds like if I have a doubt (are you really german... or you are fooling me?) the second is more like a deduction (you are german, right? I recognise the accent...)

[ClassiDuo]

Looks like a portmanteau of "teutonic" and "deutsch," somehow.

[cutler1069]

aren't you?is absolutely correct. Why is it marked wrong?

[TomyTomaso]

'aren't you?' = 'non e' vero?'

[bassistheplace]

I had this example twice, in a row. The first time, I chose 'tedeschi' and it was accepted. The second time, I answer the same, and it was wrong and I was told 'tedesche' is the correct answer. That's not helpful!

[gui.doz_on_IG]

Well, then report with the report button. they probably forgot to put both genders as a possible tranlsation.

[carolfair]

I thought vero meant 'true'???????????????????????????

[thomebm]

whoever wrote the acceptable translations for siete must have been from the southern US, because "you all" is accepted but "you guys" is not.

[anna857144]

And neither are what native English speakers would say

[Ptrshl60]

You are German, true? THIS SHOULD BE ACCEPTED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[dinojdecon]

You are German, no? Is the exact meaning and is commonly used in English.

[valyo8]

The question is for feminine, plural, so the answer cannot be German, that is singular, but should be GermanS, shouldn't it? Please native English speakers to answer and help me with my English.

[Pierre733333]

Also can't one ask in everyday English (UK anyway) : " Is that right ?"

[jdondavidson]

Really or truly should both be accepted as alternatives for right

[KatiMar15]

"You are all German, aren't you?" it is not acceptable - acc. to Mr DL.

[Lng52-._]

Since Duo is using 2rd person plural, "you", my translation of "You guys (you all) are German, right?" was accepted. (May 10, 2020).

[Nathan173901]

The Italian word tedeschi ("Germans") sounds like Polish te deski meaning "these boards" or "these planks". :)

[Wyndham129]

I wrote "true" for vero and was marked wrong. "True" should be the better translation
