Why is everybody depressed in Duolingo

This section is a particularly dreary one. I am really worried about Raj, Julia and Aamir.

it represents my life.

Are "These people rarely laugh" and "These people hardly laugh" acceptable?


https://www.duolingo.com/profile/Sivapriya15

It is difficult for them to program it to every possible vague translation. The most direct is always better. I don't see a word for "rarely" there, but I do see the words for "very" and "less/little"

    One would think so. But it relies a lot on context, which we don't have in these exercises.

    In this context, "seldom" should be accepted as a translation of "bahut kam"

    I tried 'These people laugh a lot less' - not accepted.

    Strange, because it sounds a bit like Indian English. I bet "These people laugh very less" will be accepted. I have not tried it though.

      My suggested "correct" answer was "These people laugh TOO less"!!! (I had written "these people laugh much less").

      How about 'These people laugh a little'?


      [deactivated user]

        Then the sentence wouldn't need the बहुत . I think you have to include "very" or "a lot" or "much" in your translation, for the बहुत .

        Except, when you click on the words, it shows both 'bahoot' and 'kam' and it says that the correct translation is "little". So then marking it wrong when "very little" gets written is extremely frustrating.


        https://www.duolingo.com/profile/m_belqadr76

        So you shoud not write "bahut".

        These people laugh very little


        https://www.duolingo.com/profile/DirkJohnson

        Would "These people laugh much less?" be correct in any context?


        https://www.duolingo.com/profile/ph.e4eUEb

        Maybe the joke the person said wasn't really funny so they aren't laughing?
