"Contubernales et comites psittacos vendunt."

Translation: The tent-mates and the comrades sell the parrots.

[DanSanders1]

"The comrades and the comrades sell parrots." Accepted.

The solutions, the solutions, and occasionally the solutions, are sometimes weird.

[Darkdoudou]

to be more precise, sometimes it happens that the solutions and also the solutions are weird

[BrendaniusFruust]

Hm. Not to be contrarian, but I think in fact what's weird is actually the solutions.

[AllenBouch]

The solutions are sometimes both weird and weird.

[BryanWilli390596]

The English tiles have "buy" instead of "sell." Also, why are the two kinds of comrades in the same sentence? (Also why do the lessons not explain the differences in their meanings and usage?)

[Heike333145]

All these questions can be answered with one word: Beta. The course is in Beta; it is still being developed. :-)

I think it would be best if you reported the word-tile issue. As for the comrade/tent-mate distinction, hopefully someone explains it here.

[Heike333145]

Contubernales originally seem to be people who actually share a tent in war; see wiktionary: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/contubernalis

Comes, on the other hand, is a more general term. https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/comes#Latin

[Lupercus1]

A contuburnia is like a squad. To a soldier it is his very closest family.

[TankTopBigJeff]

Lets be honest, What is a tent mate?

[Lupercus1]

Think of it like a modern day squad. It is the group of soldiers that an individual would know the best.

[Heike333145]

I think this is in the context of Roman warriors who lived in tents. https://legioneromana.altervista.org/content/tents-roman-camp?language=en

[TankTopBigJeff]

Thanks, i thought it was something slightly different lol. Glad to hear this.

[Gridkeeper]

Where tf did "tent mates" come from???

[bird_king_73]

No, not the parrots.

[AllenBouch]

At least they aren't drunk.

[TrungD.Le]

The sounds he made for cos and cus are very close so it's hard to dicipher (to my ear).

[dn007.5]

This is so weird lol

[TankTopBigJeff]

Agreed

[GeminaVexilla]

I wonder what it'd do if I used the medieval and modern translation of comites: counts (as in high-ranking noblemen).

[RichardBac13]

Tent mate? What on earth is one of those? I've never seen one in a camping shop.
