"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

[Quentin431925]

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.

[rs_taylor]

Still broken 29th Junr 2018. Reported

[LeiFeiRalf]

Still not accepted October 2018. Reported.

[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'.

[cheesedaele]

2018.05.08: still not fixed, "meet" was marked incorrect.

[een_randomaapje]

14th of August 2018, still not accepted. Also sending in a report!

[RolandHarris68]

Sent a report tofay, Sept 25, as it still says 'meet a friend' is wrong

[Nemomeori]

Oct 22 and still not fixed.(2018) Reported.

[JanLiu4]

Still not fixed as of December 1, 2018. Have also reported.

[HuaVanKhai]

Duolingo is trolling. Report it.

[qTqw8]

It's now March 20 2019. I'll report it again.

[Vie868325]

Yup, same thing

[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?

[TerminasDeity]

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

[DebbieJust]

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

[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.

[Rav_Smith]

It sounds off without the second to.

[kaibriMc]

Incorrect English, you definitely need the second to.

[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.

[Watashiomu]

Its now 2020

[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

[samchadw]

Still not fixed as of November 2018

[Chris735508]

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.

[HanSum4]

What about the use of

[HanSum4]

*看到

[ChuaHuiShu]

"I will visit a friend in Shanghai." sounds so much better than the suggested answer lol

[Kittysdream]

Nothing have changed (april 28th 2018)
Same thing reported about "meet"

[piotery]

"Meet" not appected. So weak, duolingo, so weak.

[Dominic444013]

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!

[Georgekan]

I answered "I will travel to Shanghai to see a friend" but it maked wrong.

[Manu822854]

Exact correct answer not accepted

[gun264]

I will go to Shanghai for visit a friend.

[Jiu93]

Still not fixed

[PattiFenne]

"To see friends" should alzo be correct, yes?

[XenocidalEnder]

What makes this "...to see a friend" instead of "...and see a friend"?

[cwmccabeMD]

Nothing. So you're right, "and see a friend" should be accepted.

[jamtintraders]

So: 见我们的老师 is "meet our teacher.
But: 见一个朋友 is "see a friend"
Grrrrr.....

[Bofferson]

Using 回去 should translate to "return to" in my opinion.

[RolandHarris68]

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

[marguerite101399]

Wrong

[Vvp1001]

Still not fixed (July 28, 2018)

[Imre565437]

"I will go to Shanghai to see one of my friend"
Is this bad?

[jjspot]

"I shall" is the correct use, not "I will" !!

[Tsen107548]

It's not.

I will, We will

They shall, he shall, she shall.

[JerFlynn]

Should "I will go see a Shanghai friend" be acceptable too?

[CinnamonTe1]

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.

[Dominic444013]

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"

[Tsen107548]

You must be from a really uptight part of the UK... the rest. "I will go see the Optician" or such like is really frequently used across the entirety of the UK.
