"Tu achètes des objets qui ne servent à rien."

Translation: You buy objects that are not used for anything.

[MichaelDix197959]

Useless, ne servent à rien is useless. Please duolingo change this.

"You buy useless objects" is now accepted

I was bracing for the rejection, but it turns out they've added it as an alternative :)

That would mean the same thing, but it would not be a direct translation. It would be if the French phrase was "Tu achètes des objets qui sont inutiles"

You buy things that are useless.

[epsomjenny]

" not useful for anything" "serve no purpose"

[JohnV770857]

I wrote "no use for anything". Rejected. You have to guess what particular structure Duo is angling for. So frustrating!

[effyleven]

"You buy things which are useless." Accepted. (Hooray.)

[ErnestGree4]

"you are buying these things that are useless" ??

[rangerrusty]

one just assumes that "objets" translates as "objects" but really how often would one use the word "objects" in this way. "Things" is a far more likely real life translation.

[HarishAbbe3]

Not "these" things but (some) things. because it's des and not ces......

[ErnestGree4]

Yep! My mistake ...Thanks!

[chrisbrown441096]

You buy some items that are useless

[amajig]

The male voice pronounces a liason on the t in "servent à". Is that correct?

[lucui4]

You buy objects that are usless !! Come on Duolingo get a grip
