"Mannen äter kycklingen, inte riset."

Translation: The man is eating the chicken, not the rice.

[MrBerrio]

I typed "The man eats the chicken, not the rice."
I thought it didn't matter whether you conjugate the verb or not? It might just be a little glitch!
Please let me know if you know why this was wrong.

That's the other accepted translation, actually. If you're sure you wrote exactly that, then Duolingo gave you a bug.

[MrBerrio]

Thank you for letting me know! Here's a lingot for you (:

[DiamondChamp73]

i had the same problem!

[RavenBersekr]

Why is "the man eats the chicken not the rice" wrong?

[Aakash.Saikia]

Seems like a bug

[NadyaKil]

Not accepted for me either. I guess no comma is the cause

[CourtneyKissMe]

i put "the man eats the chicken, but not the rice." said it was wrong.

[Samyueru.]

There's no 'but' :)

[Hanif982637]

Same here ! It seems correct...

[devalanteriel]

As Samyueru. said, you've added a "but" that isn't in the Swedish sentence.

[SevilyaSafone]

The man is eating the chicken not the rice

[Marie680019]

Wrote rise instead of rice, should have been a "typo"not the entire sentence wrong

[devalanteriel]

It's a pretty obvious typo, but the typo system is automated and it doesn't allow for typos that turn a word into another existing word.

[ilsiz]

Didn't accept without,

[devalanteriel]

That would be utan, and wouldn't take a comma.

[sjmcarter]

Would "the man is eating the chicken without the rice" also work here?

[devalanteriel]

No, that'd be utan rather than inte, without a comma.
