"Dia tidak suka tahu, dia suka tempe."

Translation: He does not like tofu, he likes tempe.

[snow7678]

I translated this as "She does not like tofu, she likes tempe." and it marked my answer as incorrect, saying that the correct translation was "He does not like tofu, he likes tempe." but as I understand, the word dia is both masculine and feminine. Why was it marked as wrong?

[lieryan]

You are correct, this sentence should accept both he and she. (source: I'm native speaker)

[Emil248727]

It said i was wrong for writing "she" instead of "he"???

[Kerekori]

Dia translation to she for my answer here was also given wrong, why? Dia can be she or he and should be correct for both answers here, I think it is a mistake in this app.

[scott339562]

You are correct

[TanKS5202Apr2020]

Don't like is correct. acceptable..

[akucintaDani]

It should be marked wrong

[JacquieDamma]

The pronounce of tofu (tahu) is not correct.

[404UnknownEx]

'He doesn't like tofu, she likes tempe' wrong??

[akucintaDani]

The gender should be comsistent because the sentence is talking about one person.

[AlexBelsvik]

This is ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤, dia is both he and she

[AlexBelsvik]

Dont and does not is the same!

[scott339562]

Duolingo marks she wrong but accepts "don't like"

[karen3388008]

It is better to Write tofu/tauhu and Not tahu, because tahu actually means 'know'.

[demoksaputra]

In Indonesian, tahu both means 'to know' (verb) and 'tofu' (noun).

[rowan.a.peter]

I velieve that would be correct in Malay - which is the language I actually am trying to learn but it's not on duolingo yet.

[BoySimangunsong]

I don't think so.
"Tofu" would refer to a different kind of tahu. But, yes, they are mainly "tahu".

And, please refer to KBBI (Kamus Besar Bahasa Indonesia), the Dictionary of Bahasa Indonesia, you'll not find anything about "tauhu".

[wanderdugg]

The comma in this sentence isn't correct punctuation in English; it needs to be a semicolon or just a separate sentence.

[Kukys1]

I wrote he does not like tofu, she likes tempe...just to see if it would be accepted. Marked wrong... But...??

[snow7678]

I guess neither are right

[akucintaDani]

The sentence is talking about the same person, so the gender should be consistent

[Lori556715]

I got it word perfect but marked wrong as I accidentally put ' instead of , .

[akucintaDani]

Punctuation shouldn't matter

[Yuri564322]

Same!

[Yuri564322]

Lot of right answers missing

[Ikxi8]

Was confused why "he/she doesn't like to know" until I remembered it can mean tofu.

[versain67]

Is the h in tahu silent?

[BOYMUH]

Dia tidak menyukai tahu, dia menyukai tempe.

[Emilly.Chen]

Interesting: In Japanese SUKA means same as in Indonesian (LIKE)
Funny: In Russian SUKA means wh*re

[scott339562]

Yes but its also used for b*tch if i recall correctly
