I put 'Your trousers are not good', which should be acceptable, in fact Duolingo accepted it for a different question. Duolingo should accept British English as well as American English for all questions.
Just checking - does this mean pants in the sense of underwear? Or in the American sense of trousers?
Also - shouldn't "Your trousers are not good" also be acceptable? (the word seems to also mean trousers on google translate) Or is there something in the sentence which makes this specifically about underwear? (e.g. gender)
It means pants in the sense of trousers (not underwear). Although I just talked with my husband (who is from India) and apparently nobody really uses this word. Most people just say "pants" (as in the American English word for trousers). पतलून very few people use.

Naah, you're right in that, Duolingo is just a kid!! He's also learning things alongside us! Give him time! (Or report it, i love doing that with any and all apps and things, they always check the reports and once a lot of people report the same thing, they apply the corrections in it) (which is i am secretly very proud of half of the updates on Pinterest, Instagram and Tumblr, i kept suggesting it and then eventually it happened!
Also to answer your prior question! Nope! Trousers/Pants/Patloon (you could also learn it as being similar to Pantaloons, which is actually an English cousin of the same word) are all the same things and refer to the same clothing garment=
I put the "pants emoji there but it didn't register, P.S. underwear means "Kaccha, Kacchi, Kacchu, or some other variants, there's also other words for it (very olden words that i don't remember at the moment)
Well now that's just subjective!! How would you know what they're exactly trying to say?! (Maybe nahin hon acchi actually
