Ah, the old Chinese wisdom is flawless...

[AaronSolom5]

why 都？

[AndrewKang4]

Don't know if this is a pun on the word 都 with though, or you actually want to know why 都 is used in this sentence. xD

[Gabrielle145359]

You don't have to use 都. I think in this case it adds emphasis.

[RobinThor]

In a previous grammar section it is explained that 每 。。。 都 translates to "every single one". But this is usually not accepted as a correct answer. Very inconsistent.

[RajasDaithankar]

What's the difference between "every year" and "every single year"? What's your exact grievance?

[JPSeaton]

If you think this is inconsistent you haven't been watching. This is consistent with duolingo's low level of flexibility in English. :-)

[RajasDaithankar]

Good that I'm not trying to learn English on this Chinese module as seems to be the objective of quite a few people, by the sound of it.

[cafe_disco]

I'd also like to know why 都 is used. Does it go with 每年?

[DaRUfQ]

Yes, if you use "mei", quite often follows "dou". It's kind of an emphasis.

Heart breaker

[angbagongquezon]

Who does this guy thinks he is?! Running around leaving scars, collecting his jar of hearts, tearing love apart!!

很好笑

[TonyBerjaya]

This man must be very handsome and romantic.

[adz001]

Only once a year! ... how does he manage to keep them that long!

[Massoluk]

Damn him

[klypso]

[sochmelbeinbein]

Does he change one girlfriend at time or many girlfriends at a time?

[puyuhhh]

I hate my lyfe

[Colin892382]

I feel attacked...

[james.ray1]

Lol

[radfox35]

Why not "switches"?
All of the Chinese lessons are so poor and inflexible!

[Semeltin]

True, but there are more ways to translate something than in other languages.
While older courses have 1-20 accepted answers for a sentence, I couldn't believe my eyes when Chinese sentences had hundreds of accepted answers!

[RajasDaithankar]

Switches? And wires? And light bulbs? Let's bring the whole laboratory.

[martino464996]

what's the difference between 换 and 花 to say "change"?

[RobertHilt3]

At least he lasts a year
