    Why 'soppan' and not 'soppen'?

      En-words that end in a vowel get just -n in the definite form, that's why soppa is soppan here.

        "Soppen" is the definite form of "sopp", a type of mushroom (Boletus).

          In Indonesian, "sopan" just 1 p in this word, it means 'polite'. lol XD

            Well make sure not to call a Swede that, because it means "the piece of garbage" ;-)

                Must be some bug - it's clearly correct.

                  Could be the capital, I can choose between "The" and "the"

                  I wouldn't rule that out as a bug, but I've been ignoring case in the apps for a few years and that's never caused my answer to be marked wrong.

                    I entred correct 'Soppan', than it says it's not correct and is giving me the correction 'Soppan'... I can't understand the mistake.

                    It's a Duolingo bug, it will rarely but occasionally say that the correct answer is wrong. It is very annoying.
