That's Duolingo for you (you should see some of the sentences they come up with in other languages)! Good old Duo, haha.
It's a grammatically correct sentence and it is reinforcing sentence structure.
@Omar - why does it need to make any sense? If you are able to translate, then translate. Else practice more and retry.
Needs to make sense because if you are exigent things have to make sense. The problem in this sentence is that they forgot to put some dots and instead of reading lion reads ON
@Gloria - I give up. You win. I will continue to learn. You carry on preaching. :-)
LMAO I was feeling a bit tired and this sentence woke me right up. Love duo for their crazy sentences
@Latif - Then the sentence would have become "My televisions are in my lion"... you would have fed the lion more than one television. ;-)

Turn the frown upside down. Silly phrases like these can help with memorizing words and learning language. Common mnemonic practice.

"cold chicken in a big garage" - We only know like 4 letters so this is fine.
"Is your wife Carrie a professor, Judy?" - How progressive of them!
"Is that your skirt, Seth?" - A little tricky with the grammar but no problems here.
"There is your wife with a man behind the restaurant" - Oh.....
"I love my lion but I do not love her lion" - Uh...
"My cat has a question, professor" - Uhhhhh........
"My television is in my lion"- Pass me the blunt, bro.
Imagine if you have to translate for a delusional patient and the doctor is inquiring where is the TV. The patient say: ''there, it is inside my lion''. So, if you need to translate this to arabic, now you know how to.

I couldn't make sense of it, if we change the order of words, probably his/her lion is in a TV program!
Arab speaker here, taking the test for fun, it actually makes no sense lol.
Actually it's just the app .. even you can find the same thing in other languages
Okay guys this is fine for learning sentence structure just don't actually use this sentence...for anything...
I don't mind a little nonsense in language learning once in a while. It does feel weird when you get too much of it! Glad there are not too many sentences like this. I use a lot of context to remember words and this one keeps me honest
To be honest i am about to give up. I want to learn phrases that i can use in my daily life.
That's an excellent idea. Why learn a language? Just mug up a few sentences. Good plan.

Please don't give up. The only other stupid phrases that I've come across are that some girl put sugar on her apple and that the computer is the cat's chair. I'm several months from my comment on this, so I think you'll be OK. :-)
yeah.. only very few of the sentences are here to have a bit of fun with while learning. The course really does teach many essential lessons like numbers, names of countries and you can call your family.
The good news is that we don't have to conduct science experiments to learn Arabic.. :-)
The only thing I can think of is that "lion" was mistakenly substituted for "den"...?

Silliness is great, sure, OK. But this is the kind of sentence that's convincing me to use Busuu and other services more often.
