"Ele caminha um centímetro."

Translation: He walks one centimeter.

[kcmurphy]

How ambitious of him...

[johnarnold]

Until you have walked in someone else's shoes, ......:)

[johnarnold]

Tomorrow he may even try another

[raf_iggy]

(Per segundo)

[IvanFLres]

Per mili second

[krausek]

maybe "he" is an amoeba?!

[Lingledingle]

Hard to walk without legs, even a centimeter.

[Prancytime]

We haven't learned pseudópoder yet.

[DeanG6]

But he made it apparently. Good for him!

[BrookeLorren]

Or maybe um inseto...

[LawrenceEric]

But that's why it's interesting. Because he ONLY walked a centimeter. Had he walked half a mile or something no one would have cared, but this, this is Guinness World Record stuff. Shortest distance ever walked.

[EduardoBer]

That is an unnaturally short walk.

[deactivated user]

Wonderful! I hope Duolingo never stops putting in this kind of stuff -
going through the comments is so much fun - thank you all !!!

[DREDWARD]

SIM,makes learning fun(er),lol.......... :)

[Kajo76]

In this case you can say "funnier" :-) Or the colloquial "more fun".

[bbspeak]

Maybe he somehow put a centimeter on a leash and took it for a walk. That would be a conversation starter.

[MattSeagull]

Man ! This idea is absolutely insane ahahahah ! I'd like to see a picture of it !

[CatherineD576833]

Or maybe he just named his pet "centimeter"

[christainj1]

I hope he packed a lunch for the excursion

[ichiban8814]

I think he is one of `the borrowers'

[qantilena]

I wrote "It walks a centimeter", because it seems more likely that a small creature rather than a human would walk such a short distance. Can "ele" translate as "it" ?

[cinthiia_mc]

Yes, ele or ela, it always depends on the gender of the person or animal.

[keithi7]

Yes so long as it was a male spider, you were correct.

[GrnpcFTMarkRMOwl]

Only if you're a biologist and really making the difference. "A aranha" doesn't get changed easily, my wife informs me. Otherwise, "o inseto" does it, though a spider isn't even an insect, technically! Arachnid in portuguese??

[pfeil]

A aranha é um aracnídeo.

[kdammers]

And I wrote "He walks a cm" and got "a" marked wrong.

[PacoWarabi]

You know, Ant-Man is coming out soon . . .

[hybridpro]

So she runs a hundred kilometers and he walks one centimeter? Was fuer ein Loser!

[Lingledingle]

Glad he wasn't running.

[Middento]

He must be a centipede.

[yimantuwingyai]

I was literally going to say this exact same thing...woo Duo-mindo!

[JhonnatanC2]

Maybe "he" is from the outer space and is kind of a micro being and landed on a desk and voilá.! DL took chances about how long "he" could walk and put a ruler aside. :P

[lenickar]

And I thought I speak English too bed to understand... :-)

[NatashaBur2]

Bed=furniture to sleep (or not to sleep ;)) on. Bad=not good. Have fun learning!

[objectively]

Is "He advances a centimeter." an acceptable response?

[same-side]

According to Google Translate, "caminhar" can mean the following: walk, move, go, step, foot, wade, traipse, jog, pass, or hup.
