It's a regional thing, but I agree papas is more widespread.
Why is this Latin American Spanish course getting Spain Spanish thrown in?
And yet the Duolingo Portuguese course only has Brazilian Portuguese sigh

"Type what you hear" dead silence I would like to report this, but it's a bit beyond the audio not sounding correct.

When I signed up for this it said nothing about being Latin American Spanish. I wondered why 'papa' had suddenly become 'patata'. Nothing against Latin America but I want European Spanish

patatas = Sweet potatoes. 80% of the TV novelas(soap operas), movies, audio books on Spanish-language stations are dubbed in Latin Amer.(Mex. Span., in use since the 16th Century! Hallelujah!) as the "lingua franca". P.S. Potatoes are indigenous to South America and according to my Dad(" papá" in ES), it should be "papa" unless you want to sound like a stuffy, snobby and stuck-up Spaniard who BELIEVES he is the "creme of the crop" of ALL the Spanish-speaking countries.

I have a question:
In a question I had before it says "I don't have a fork."
I translated it to "No tengo tenedor." and it was correct. Why is "un" not needed here?
Also another..
How do you know when to use reflexive verbs? I understand that reflexive verbs like "me ducho" or "me siento" translate weirdly if it's direct (especially the "me siento" which directly translates to "I feel myself", doesn't it?) so there really isn't an indicator I know to determine how reflexive verbs are used...
