"Ty věty nejsou dlouhé."

Translation: Those sentences are not long.

[AdamHoddinott]

I feel like 'aren't' and 'are not' should succeed here as a translation

[VladaFu]

And indeed they do. Duolingo takes care of all contractions automatically.

"Those sentences aren't long" is accepted; I just tested it. But since we have no current report of this as a rejected answer we can't tell you what Duo didn't like about it. Please always use the Report button if you are reasonably sure that your answer was improperly rejected.

Is věty masculine inanimate or feminine?

[BoneheadBass]

It is feminine; the nominative singular is věta.

Thank you! :))

Why is 'these' not accepted?

[BoneheadBass]

"These" would be tyto or tyhle, and that's not what's in the Czech sentence.

Dekuji

Would 'these' be a different word ?

[Weltraumkatzen]

Does věty mean sentences in grammatical or penal sense, or both? I can't tell from, erm, the sentences it's being used in. Thanks

[BoneheadBass]

And the winner is... "in the grammatical sense." A jail-type sentence would be rozsudek.
