"Nein, die Spiegel gehören einfach dazu."

[NosAstra]

I find the dictionary hints terribly unhelpful in these cases.

The verb is 'dazugehören' (= to belong to it, to go with, to be among), it's conjugated like this:

ich gehöre dazu

du gehörst dazu

er/sie/es gehört dazu

wir gehören dazu

ihr gehört dazu

sie gehören dazu

The dictionary hint however is only for 'gehören' (=to belong) without giving an indication that 'dazu' is a part of the verb. And then it's translated as 'are fitting', 'be fitting', which is not only wrong, but also doesn't help with this sentence - hence the confusion in the comments.

Moreover, "einfach dazugehören" is an idiom:

thanks for this explanation

[EishaGee]

thank you so much! i was so confused :)

[jimmyinberlin]

I don't see how this is the translation.

[sine314]

This could be a context: [at IKEA]
"Hmm, darling, I love this cabinet, but it looks much nicer with the mirrors. How much are those? Are they sold separately?" - "No, the mirrors just come with it."

I think the original German sentence could also be translated literally, like "No, the mirrors just belong to it."

[percusse]

Thanks, I see your point but how can one possibly picture that context from a single sentence? I think it can be only an alternative correct answer.

What is gehoeren doing in this sentence, then?

[SlyRatcher]

Just incase a member of the Duo staff comes across this, I'd like to add too that the word "dazu" is incredibly poorly taught and I don't really understand it. I'm memorising it than I am learning how it works.

[slug_a_bed]

or "the mirrors just belong with it"...(perhaps?)

[L1SA]

i hate this sentence

[pmarking]

I am subscribed to the emails for this discussion, and when this one came, I literally laughed out loud! LOL

[percusse]

I tend to understand this sentence as "No the mirrors belong here".

[shraeye]

That's also what I think.

[Shiroryuu]

That is unbelievably rare to guess that translation. I hate these, because I've lost a heart because of it :( But, this is how duolingo can evolve :)

[ManchesterRJ]

Whatever dazu

[BoBSakamato]

You guys are doing better than me, i wasn't even close

[ScottEmerson777]

This one was way too odd.
