Report March 09th 2018: I answered "I will go to Shanghai to meet a friend". From previous lessons it's clear that 见 can be translated as "see" or "meet". It's even one of the mouse-over hints, but it was marked wrong.
Sent a report tofay, Sept 25, as it still says 'meet a friend' is wrong
As written in my comment, I reported it on March 09th. Each time I comment on something that I think is wrong I report accordingly.
"I will visit a friend in Shanghai." sounds so much better than the suggested answer lol
What makes this "...to see a friend" instead of "...and see a friend"?
You're not wrong but this sentence uses 会去 not 回去..
会去 means 'will go'..
会 is hui4 but 回 is hui2
Does this sentence mean you are leaving now, because if it has a future tense then "I will be going to Shanghai to see a friend" should also be accepted. Reported but would like to know from a more experienced Chinese speaker what the original actually means. Sometimes I feel I am learning Duolingoese instead!
I answered "I will travel to Shanghai to see a friend" but it maked wrong.
in America it would be considered correct, in the UK it would be considered wrong as we do not use "go see" we use "go AND see"

In the US, we would say "a friend in Shanghai."
You cannot say: "a Shanghai friend" or "a China friend" or "a Paris friend"
You have to say: "a Chinese friend" or "a Parisian friend." For "Shanghai", you can say "a Shanghainese friend", but it's a very uncommon word for English speakers and almost no one would use it that way.
