"Je sais les mots."

Translation: I know the words.

[hoiikbeneric]

Why can't this also be "I know words"? Sometimes the word "les" can either mean nothing or the word "the" but in this case it must be translated to "the"?

I made the same mistake :(

[WowSereneDoge]

It's not a mistake, but an error on the site's fault.

Is there any difference between savoir and connaitre?

This page may help you: http://french.about.com/od/grammar/a/savoirconnaitre.htm

By the way, "je sais les mots" does not mean a lot to me. I would use "connaître" here...

Wow. sitesurf has spoken so, spanky-botty Duolingo.

Je sais les mots de passe. Is a place you might use sais

[NavGirdhar]

"Je connais les mots" make more sense. I just finished savoir vs connaître at French about site. Thanks sitesurf, I really find you a very helpful coach.

Dear Sitesurf... umm.... do something about that :P

[iracleous]

what is the difference in pronunciation between the plural and the singular
je sais le mot.
je sais les mots.

[Jackjon]

The difference is in the article. "LE" sounds like "Luh" and "LES" sounds like "Lay" singular and plural respectively.
