"Il préfère celle avec les pois, mais pas moi."

Translation: He prefers the one with polka dots, but I don't.

[mng22]

"il préfère celles avec les pois, mais pas moi" not accepted, although it sounds the same...

[V3WW9ody]

I wrote the same thing, and I reported it.

Celle_Savec

[GraemeSarg]

I'm pretty sure that this is not a mandatory liaison.

I'm not even sure if it is a permitted liaison.

[Xander369201]

This is the liason of sounding out the S of celles if the next word starts with a vowel, so you would be able to hear the difference between celle avec and celles avec in the audio.

[aaaaadammmmm]

Haha, I translated "les pois" as "the peas". I did think it was a bit strange to take about food in the "Wardrobe" lesson.

[99oranges]

I would actually be correct in terms of translating. Did it mark you wrong?

[aaaaadammmmm]

Yeah, it did mark it wrong. I mean, you could argue it's technically correct but at the same time, you really have to choose "polka dots" for the more logical meaning.

[Ishay40hours]

There is nothing more logical about "polka dots" than "peas" here. We don't know what celle refers to, and even if it were a dress for example, it could have pea figures on it.

[--Roody--]

And maybe some carrots too and a pork chop? ;-)

[b_adger]

Especially since "polka dots" is never used in English in my region. Dots or spots perhaps, although "spots" is not accepted either.

[Anna798226]

Celles should be accepted, IMHO..

[RichardSus4]

i used celles , too, but not accepted. There is no indication being singular or plural.

[Lionne24]

Celles ou celle, les deux sont possibles.

[JonathanSk689393]

Would "spots" be an acceptable translation of pois?

[b_adger]

Yes, I've reported it too.

[susan227770]

how do know when to use celle or celui

[Lionne24]

[NicholasTw15]

celles not accepted again. So arbitrary and frustrating.

[LaChienne-Doree]

what is wrong with "ils preferent celles avec les pois mais pas moi

[Seenoff]

"...........but not me" is the correct answer and should be accepted

[--Roody--]

It is accepted!

[RichardSus4]

Duo often does not make the liaison, e.g. "il" or "ils", so perhaps it could have been "celle" or "celles". both should be accepted.

[DutchOma23]

Accepted dots the first time !????

[Martyn413385]

It would be good to have the views of a Francophone on this one. I looked it up and according to Collins & Reverso, polka dots = "à pois": "Il préfère celle à pois, mais pas moi."

[Kofi858166]

It can also be translated as the ones with polka dots.

[GraemeSarg]

No, it cannot because "celle" is singular: "the one", NOT "the ones".
