"The tomatoes are near the cucumbers."

Translation: Roșiile sunt lângă castraveți.

It's stupid that Duolingo suggests „aproape” and then doesn't accept it. :(

[IulianAdam4]

Langa= aproape de

[PaulFisher13]

why not "Roșiile sunt lângă castraveții."?

[Lixmage]

I made the same mistake because I forgot that after a preposition usually the definite article is not used.

[ana508507]

"Castraveții" means the cucumbers. The second "i" shows the plural

[debbocar]

I put aproape de and it was wrong...
