"This address is wrong."

Translation: 这个地址是错的。

[jcreed]

Is there any natural-sounding way of saying this without the 的?

这个地址是错?

这个地址错?

这个地址艮错?

[NasuSamaruk0]

这个地址错了 is the common way to express the given English sentence.

[Calle300259]

Could you leave out the "le"?

[kuyaC]

Shouldn't 这个地址错 be enough?

[CinnamonTe1]

Can someone help explain the grammar of 是错的 ? Google says 错的 is an adjective that means "incorrect." I'm used to seeing a 很 or 不 before adjectives, but this phrase has neither. Why is that?

[DenisDmir]

Well, in chinese the meaning of the word depends on its place in the sentence

错的地址 -- wrong adress
地址是错的 -- the adress is a wrong one

So, if 错的 is in front of other noun it is the adjective ''wrong''. But if it's on itself it is the noun ''wrong one''. Therefore the best way (the closest one grammaricly) to translate the sentence 这个地址是错的 is ''This adress is a wrong one''

Great explanation, thanks! In that case, can we say “这是错的地址”?

[KyleDelane6]

Would that make Duolingo wrong here?
