The sentence is currently under investigation by the French team. We're trying to understand where the errors are coming from. Please be patient.
If you see the sentence with "wife" instead of " mother", please reply below and tell us the platform you were using and what kind of exercise it was. Are you on the computer or on your mobile device? Was it a typing exercise or did you pick words from the given tiles? Thank you.
Using app on Samsung phone. Says wife instead of mother. Wierd! Thanks for investigating.
Android. Mobile device...i picked words from the given tiles...."wife" instead of "mother" was the only available option
I'm on desktop using chrome, it was a listening exercise and the English translation given was wife instead of mother.
Andriod - given the french and had to translate into english using given words but mother was there only once.
from a tile on a mobile device. How long does it take to get these errors sorted?

Using Android, picking word tiles. Only one instance of mother tile, so had to use wife to complete the sentence.

Android 8.0 app on mobile, picked words from list. Used 'wife' for the second 'mother' and it was marked correct.
Iphone. Doing the first time through of lesson 5 of 5 in family. The lesson had the translation for beau-père and the relationship to your husband correct. Just a little kinky.
True story though that fits with this theme. My cousin came from Georgia to Arkansas to marry his niece. But because that wasn't legal, my niece's father-in-law, without divorcing her mother, married her. True story.
Now the details. My cousin from Georgia is a minister who came to perform the ceremony at my niece's wedding. The laws in Arkansas do not permit someone from out of state performing a marriage. So my niece's father-in-law, also a minister, finished the service and 'married' my niece and her husband.
The devil is in the details. I wonder what the owl was thinking when this sentence was translated.
On a PC, using Chrome, speaking exercise. The answer at the bottom after speaking said "wife"
"Your mother-in-law is your husband's wife". On Win 10, in a listening exercise.
Why is it wrong to reverse the order?? Your husband's mother is your mother-in-law. I believe it is a good alternative.
