"Duo is fast and smart."

Translation: دُوو سَريع وَذَكِيّ.

[myoasis25]

How are we supposed to learn these new words (fast/smart) if they're never shown before? I don't see a hover option either

[Pepyn222]

I think that Duolingo learn style is more about to jump in it instead of memorizing vocabulary before the lesson starts. First you have to guess the right answer, next time you will be better and so on.

[kaet]

You don't have to guess. The first time it's introduced the word will be highlighted, and any underlined word can be clicked on for its translation.

[AthenaDJ]

I think you just missed it.

[MottiTadmo]

Agree... It's a guessing game, so annoying

[asma261960]

Click the word

[ShakeelKha392299]

Could you say
دُوو ذَكِيّ وَ سَريع
And would it be acceptable?

[Eromeon]

Not a native speaker, but I guess you always can. Just like in English, where you have "Duo is smart and quick". However, that's a different sentence even when it has the same meaning.

[CarstenLu]

Just omit the space after و . The meaning is the same but it is a different sentence because the order of adjectives is different.

[BunoManush]

Grammatically it's not but practically it's same and always acceptable.

[ZinaLee]

okay but i was never taught fast or smart soo

dhuo sarii3 wadhakiya

[Bocajmil]

It's duwuu. TTS speech can't differentiate consonant and vowel.

[Djibril487949]

سَريعٌ ؟

[Away54]

Yes, formally it's سريعٌ sarii3un (as the word is in the nominative case).

"Duo is fast and smart."
Translation:دُوو سَريع وَذَكِيّ.

(4) Duo's method forces learners to pay attention: to read the word letter by letter, to sound it out, to listen, to think AND when wrong one is forced to try harder.

Research shows better results from "interested" learning in excited, emotional states rather than calm

[LORDVILLKR]

سريع means fun and i am answering fast why are you changing the meaning

[marti_MG]

مُمْتِع
TRANSLATION
fun

https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%D8%B3%D8%B1%D9%8A%D8%B9 says سريع = fast

[ManhaAlam]

I don't understand how are we supposed to learn this new words if we never saw it before and I think they should give us the meaning and the words to memorize. This app is like a guessing game and I hate that!

[BunoManush]

duwuu sarii3 wadhakiyya

[MJMoradi]

The word و is a conjunction and independent and needed to be separated from ذکی.So a space must be between و and ذکی.Correct:دوو سریع و ذکی

[StephieRice]

It is most common to connect to the word, not to write independently. Some places and people do write it independently as well though.

[CarstenLu]

Single letter connectors like the conjunction و and the prepositions ب and ل are always connected to the next word without a space.

[procrastinating]

No, it is always connected to the following word.
