"Wangetembea wangeona mazingira mazuri"

Translation: If they were to walk, they would see the beautiful environment

[billhatcher]

This sentence is missing an article, either "the" or "a," before "beautiful."

[pahash]

"The" makes more sense in English than "a".

[jemef]

Here, contextually, 'a' rather than 'the':

"see a beautiful scenery" - of undisclosed beauty,

"see the beautiful scenery" - of, say, renown beauty.

Moreover: SEE the/an environment?

Articles, articles - come on duolingo get some native speakers on the case.

[GunthardHa]

i think it is even possible without any article, but i am not a native speaker

[dsimonds]

Native speaker of (American) English here. If the singular "environment" is used then an article is required: ... see a/the beautiful environment. However, if the plural word "surroundings" is used, then you have a choice of no article or definite article: -- see beautiful surroundings / see the beautiful surroundings. The second choice (with the definite article) still sounds better to me.

[Klgregonis]

It doesn't give me the chance to report the missing article. No "The English sentence sounds unnatural" Grr.

[JurekKolas]

Earlier the same sentence required "the" to be correct. One cannot win, :)
