So, what manner of non-car vehicle does he have? Is it a helicopter? Is it a boat? Is it a tank?
All that I know is that it's not a four-wheeled vehicle that travels on roads, because "car" was marked wrong.
The sentence could absolutely be talking about a car, because a car is a vehicle. The only reason Duo marks it wrong is because it wants the vocab word that we have learned and practiced which is fahrzeug (vehicle). And it also it wants you to understand that car and vehicle are not the same word in German, jut like they are not the same word in English.
Not necessarily to do with the vocab. Duo will accept both pretty and beautiful for schön for example
now the issue there is automobile is also wrong, so duo needs to learn some vocab too
If "sie" is "she," but "sein" isn't "her," then how do you say "her" as in "Her car?"

For anyone who is extremely confused:
my > mein
your > dein
his > sein
her > ihr
our > unser
y'all's > euer
their > ihr
Your > ihr
Yes, ihr can mean y'all, her, their and Your.
Could someone tell me the German word for "car"? Because it obviously isn't "Fahrzueg" lul
Looks like das auto is what you/we are looking for. Correct me if I am wrong native speakers...
No, the word Fahrzeug includes trucks, cars, etc. so the translation should not make it more or less specific.
