"أَنا مِن مَدينة قَريبة مِن اَلْبَحْر اَلْأَبْيَض اَلْمُتَوَسِّط."

Translation: I am from a city close to the Mediterranean Sea.

[MontereyZack]

I wrote "I am from a city near the Mediterranean Sea" and got marked wrong. But I think this was a fine translation?

[RobertEddy]

Duo is too picky here. Frustrating for us.

[Sikeryali]

Me too :-(

But I reported it "My answers should have been accepted"

[R_Llully]

I did the exact same thing.

[GiselaPosch]

Same here

In Arabic, the Mediterranean is something of a white sea.

[vsandl]

What does the last word actually mean?

[sig_ma]

From the Wikipedia article on the Mediterranean, اَلْبَحْر اَلْأَبْيَض اَلْمُتَوَسِّط means "the [White] Middle Sea", so I guess اَلْمُتَوَسِّط means "middle"?

[CeeCeeSong]

Really don't think it should be marked wrong just from misspelling "Mediterranean."

[pablofranciscar]

Why is the word for "white" a part of this?

[981.YEoOWWOZF6or]

Because in Arabic, the Mediterranean Sea is called Middle (المتوسط) White (الابيض) Sea (البحر).

[ahamadraja.raja]

I don't know also

[Ururshe]
