"Varför misslyckas hon?"

Translation: Why does she fail?

[CanOzer1]

Why not 'misslyckar'??

[HelenCarlsson]

Lyckas and misslyckas are deponent verbs https://www.duolingo.com/comment/6094592

[g.uh]

The same happens with previous exercise. Was said minns. :/

[nina932541]

In dutch we have the same. Something ' lukt' or 'mislukt' . And I agree with Helen

[RAlberdi]

If lyckas=win, then misslyckas=no win=lose, right?

For me, lose and fail are not synonyms

[HelenCarlsson]

win = vinna
succeed = lyckas
lose = förlora
fail = misslyckas

[RAlberdi]

I see... from a previous exercise I assumed lyckas=win, now I see I was a bit off the right track. Tack!

[Zeextu]

how do you say, Why did she fail?

[WirklichMude]

Varför misslyckades hon?

[Jan956045]

Why is my answer (myslyckas) not recognised as a typo, which it was! Is myslyckas an actual word?

[AmbassadorTigger]

I believe Duolingo can only recognise typos that are off by a single character, but "myslyckas" is off by two.

Why is "Why did she fail?" incorrect?
