"I'm saying hello to Paul."

Translation: Je dis bonjour à Paul.

[CarlosW76]

I'm tired of Paul

[IrenePelegri]

Je dis allô à Paul was marked wrong :-(

[Babbaloo]

I just looked it up and found that "allo" is only used on the phone confirming there's someone on the other end.

[Patricia971180]

"Je dis 'bonjour' à Paul" is hardly incorrect, is it - c'mon duolingo, getta grip!

[Ann740885]

Je dis salut was also marked wrong. Surely salut is correct for hello?

[Sarah29335]

Why is "Je dis "bonjour" à Paul wrong???

[Ann740885]

Duo has very little idea of correct punctuation and usually ignores it.

[GavinGreig]

Why not Je (suis) dire

[Jojo553168]

- dire - present tense -

   Je dis
   Tu dis
   Il/Elle dit
   Nous disons
   Vous dites
   Ils/Elles disent

There is no present progressive in french.

[DrFunmiAla]

Je suis en train de dire bonjour à Paul is marked correct. Is it a normal way of speaking in French, seems too long

[SuellenRav]

I put the word 'bonjour' like this in an inverted comma because it seemed to make sense as it was rather like a quote

[KenBrown958]

I agree with the comments below about being marked down for use of inverted commas. Let's be honest Duo frequently uses them and so how can we be penalised ?

What is wrong with it. Look at it again
