- "Una falda cómoda."

The audio sounds wrong. The accent in "cómoda" should be on the first syllable, not the second.
Please, people not 15 messages with "me too", just upvote the messages you feel are right or interesting, or give a lingot when it's super interesting, but if you all make a message to write the same message, the forum is very long to scroll to find helpful comments.
Michellei8 - Because the accent mark is on the first o so that syllable gets the emphasis.

I thought that cómoda means "chest of drawers" while cómodo means comfortable....I'm confused.
Here, "cómoda" is an adjective, and the endings of most adjectives change depending on the gender of the noun they describe. Since "la falda" is feminine, the adjective "cómodo" gets a feminine ending as well: "cómoda". Ex.) Una falda cómoda (f.) Un vestido cómodo (m.)
If "cómoda" were being used as a noun, it would be something like "La cómoda blanca es muy grande" -> "The white bureau is very big"

There is always an accent mark of the word has the stress before the second-to-last syllable.
Because this user replied to a question by another question, hitting the "reply" button.
When do you add the mark over the o, or any letter in spanish????????
It's part of the spelling, in cómoda, and it makes the stressed syllabe to be the "co".
On 02/12/19 "a comfy skirt" was accepted. You must have reported this...thank you, Deandra!
02/(12)/19 cant be right because it isnt even been that time its over 2 months the 12 cant its today 26/10/19
Well, you went dd/mm/yy but they may have went mm/dd/yy (Like most people I know do).
That's because it's "comfortable skirt". But it's also right.(Silly me.) Don't worry.

i did the test to jump to a higher level. My answer: a comfortable skirt was marked wrong! The only difference is the a is not in capital.
What were your instructions? Capitals and punctuations are not counted by the software. Did you check if they asked you to write in English? Sometimes we mix the instructions.
Which audio are you referring to? The one at the top of this page sounds correct.
That's true, they say comoda instead of comoda I think, but it has already been said on the top of the page, many, many times.
So I got away with "una faldo comoda" which is incorrect as it should be "una falda comoda." Oops
The audio sounds wrong .the accent in comoda should be on the first syllable .not the seconf

Is it just me, or is the childish voice really annoying? I am learning languages not indulging kiddy talk.
I cannot understand that when I put the correct translation it says the correct one is identical to the one I submitted. It's not the first time and it is VERY confusing
Hey jeanathebh, please do a copy/paste of your translation and post that. I know it's frustrating when your sure of your answer, but sometimes it's just a tiny thing. And there are many many helpful people here that could let you know if it's a system glitch or something off with your typing. We're all in this together!
Is a cartera a purse or a handbag? It gives purse as the answer to a previous question but a picture of a handbag. Are they both correct?
Crystal, it's likely the same reason the 'bureau' in English means both a 'chest of drawers' and 'an office or department for transacting particular business' (aka FBI :-)
Gagriella, when the sound is incorrect you need to report it. We can't help you on these pages.
Please, don't repeat something that has already been stated many times on the top of the page.
Saya is also a "skirt", but I cannot find it on the Duolingo dictionary, so they probably accept it, but didn't give it in a sentence.

Gives nothing: https://www.duolingo.com/dictionary/Spanish/Sara/d58e045a884cef40dc9787e150d4a0df?query=saya
In the comments, I can see that this means a comfortable skirt, but my Duolingo says it means they will be back in 1 hour
Hey Syhyronica, I've done that more than once! Here's a Lingot for being human :)
You should keep it to make the good answers more noticeable in the forum.
I once got the sentence una camisa comodo, and it stranslated to the comfortable shirt, but i thought falda meant comfortable
"Una falda comoda" - My interpretation, "A comfortable skirt", was counted wrong on the test. Could you please fix this?
Don't forget the accent: cómoda. What were your instructions? Sometimes they change. Please, don't ask them to fix things from this forum, it's only the sentence forum for the help between users.
They translate "commodious" with amplio/espacioso.
I don't think commodious pertains to clothing, but would refer to buildings, rooms, etc. having enough space.
