You're correct. It is "Tannoura". What you hear here is either a glitch or an obvious mispronunciation by the voice of Duolingo.

Hahaha. I asked that question of someone else who had an enormous number of languages on the go, and sh/e obligingly told me that s/he doesn't work on all of them every day. I imagine that's true of all these would-be polyglots.

Ha ha ha ha. Here we go again. Seth with his skirt, and Carrie and Judy's marriage. This is brilliant.

I'm happy for him he's got a new skirt, because over the previous lessons he seemed to have lost his old one.

Spanish had a similar sentence with a guy having a new skirt. That got the same reaction out of a lot of people.

This course loves to give us those types of sentences. I am still waiting a Deus vult vs الله أكبر example

Yeah, you scandalize when someone with an arab name is Scottish but an arab using skirt is ok. Something is not ok with your logic.

Duo,why didnt you mention before hand that your app is about freedom,now i wont hide the fact that i got married to a sheep,and how do you say in arabic we want to adopt a baby,or a sheep. What youre doing here is taking away the focus from learning the language to students confronting opinions,and turning the course to a gay-lesbian promotion. Arabic is already a hard language,and with your homo sentences youre making it even more difficult.
When those college students mocked and taunted the Native American elders on the Lincoln Memorial steps in Washington, they did it in the name of "fun", yet it was heinous.

To force a way of thinking on others who do not live that lifestyle is heinous. And to claim that it is with the intention of reducing oppression is hypocrisy.
There's nothing wrong with a man having a skirt. Even if you insist that skirts are only for women (not exactly a great view to be holding IMO), perhaps he has just bought the skirt as a present for his wife, and is currently in possession of it. In this case, this is a perfectly reasonable sentence to say.
Im sure some will find it that way. Im also equally sure that some will agree with it as well. That's the point, it doesn't make one more right than another. So when one starts aggressively imposing their way on another who is not part of that, under the pretenses that they are fighting to not be imposed upon, I call it hypocrisy. It goes larger than just a language forum.
Yet here you are the one trying to impose your own worldview on others telling us " this is wrong and you shouldn't do that cause I don't like it". This sentence is just an example out of the 'ordinary' to try and make us think about the grammatical rules. Some men wear clothes that look like skirts or dresses in a lot of countries, including Muslim or Arab ones. And Duo isn't 'imposing ' anything here or trying to tell you ' go buy a skirt cause I told you so'. Breath, and let be.

Well, my son was doing Dutch (for fun, 'cause we are Dutch), and got the sentence "where shall we hide the bodies", and in Norse he got "show me your daughters bedroom". So.....
