"Quot iuvenes in America habitant?"

Translation: How many young men live in America?

[footofjuices]

Why do all these sentences about young men feel like Duolingo is looking for Hot Dates?

[jaiirapetjan]

Ha, ha... I put "youth" just to expand their English database. It's more inclusive of young women etc.

[Joyful_Otter]

It just makes me think of the YMCA song every time. I said, "Iuvenis!" There's no need to feel down!"

[DeadAccount.]

Duo's researching lmao

[compsognathus]

I would like to know... for statistic reasons...

[jaiirapetjan]

Secundum ad US Census hendrerit aestimationes, illic erant 41.910.114 iuvenes aetate 10-19 In Civitatibus Foederatis Americae, a summa XIII% of US populatio, in MMXVII.

Short answer: 42K.

[Talos_the_Cat]

42M...

[babumiek7]

That's a bit too little, huh?

[compsognathus]

Wow you guys delivered! I was making a joke, but thanks a bunch for the stats, haha!

Why do I hear "Qunt iuvenes in America habitant? instead of "Quot iuvenes in America habitant?", the audio doesn't seem to be correct.

[alstrkw]

I heard the same, and reported it as audio not sounding correct. I thought it was a bad recording of "cur" not "quot"

[Enderaal]

The pronounce of latin is very bad, on American manner.

[o4tuna]

No, her pronunciation is not in the American manner. When saying "quot", she sounds like a loon laying an egg.

[cervido]

With macrons (cf. Wiktionary):

Quot iuvenēs in America habitant?

[TomFoolery14]

I don't think roman numerals go that high. How do you write fifty million?

[M.A.M.C0]

why does she say "quot" like "uuuooum"??

[Richlogos]

The new audio is a marked improvement over the original one. Well done Duolingo Latin team!

[LilBroomst12]

postulantes pro amico?

[Riri510047]

I taped in the right answer but duolingo showed that it is supposed to be wrong.

[RickBradleyUSA]

according to wikitionary https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/iuvenis#Latin
iuvenis m or f (genitive iuvenis); third declension A youth, a young man, young woman, young adult (between ages 20-40), (older than an adulescens but younger than a senior/senex)
so the answer could be "Hhow many young people live in America"
