"我会去上海见一个朋友。"

Translation: I will go to Shanghai to see a friend.

[Quentin431925]

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.

[Eric492387]

It's 2019 now and this is still marked as incorrect...

[WilliamLin595458]

That's what I put too... and it got marked wrong

[Dean115417]

Yeah I wrote this sentence as "I will travel to Shanghai to meet a friend" and it was marked wrong. I think that they fixed the 见 part so that both "see" and "meet" are marked correctly, but there's something else going on now. It's pretty good otherwise.

[Tsen107548]

travel is another word at this point in the duolingo course. You're looking for the verb 'to go'.

[Tianshenlang]

I also think that the answer means the same, but I think when we are a beginner, it may want us to use see for 见 and meet or know may be :-认识.

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.

[kuyaC]

Is nobody gonna comment about the fact that 一个 is used here and not 一位? When do I use which one? Is one more formal?

[Qwynnyx]

The second is more formal and more "correct". The first is just a general counter.

[JacksonMPinheiro]

Not a native english speaker (BR portuguese), so I may be "thinking" in pt-br, but my translation was marked wrong : "I will go to Shangai see a friend".

Is it actually wrong to ommit the second "to"? Feels a bit verbose to use "to" a second time.

[rU00E4v]

It sounds off without the second to.

[kaibriMc]

Incorrect English, you definitely need the second to.

[Tsen107548]

I'm developing a new found appreciation for identifying verbs...

[YHChan1]

'I will be going to Shanghai to see a friend' should be accepted

[3zrHdHlR]

Is " I am going to Shanghai to see a friend" wrong????

[3zrHdHlR]

Is " I am going to Shanghai to see a friend" wrong?

[SookYinChan]

i'll go to Shanghai to see a friend shd be accepted!

[H.R.F]

Cannot use "travel" synonymously for "go to" June 2021.

[DebbieJust]

Yup! I, too, was marked wrong for 'meet' instead of 'see'

[samchadw]

Still not fixed as of November 2018

[Chris00000000]

Still not accepting "meet" July 2019. 'Reported.

[Andy499355]

"I'm going to Shanghai to see a friend" (as said to indicate the future) was rejected. Reported as an additional answer that should be accepted.

[NathanRasm]

You're right. "I'm going" is the usual future for plans already made. "I will go" only really applies to predictions and brand-new plans.

[kuyaC]

Is there no Chinese word for "to"?

[Tsen107548]

Not really. They're implied. (No doubt you have discovered this already). Verbs and Nouns in Chinese come with the extra add-ons preinstalled.

Laoshi - The teacher
去 - to go.

[Vincent379437]

I deem it is hard to pass the speaking record test

[WinstonCarr909]

我会去上海见一个朋友。

[dim.hand]

Just like Tintin

[findingniko]

Hui also means 'can', correct? I wrote 'I can go to Shanghai to see a friend' and it was marked wrong. If I wanted to say 'I can go...', would I use neng instead of hui?

[veronica753653]

I dont know why i cant speak into the microphone

[veronica753653]

Why doesnt anyone reply to my question? Your app keeps saying that my microphone will be turned on in an hour but it never does. I checked the settings to speaking exercises, ive removed the app and re-installed etc but nothing works. Can you help please?
