"Garson makarna yer."

Translation: The waiter eats pasta.

[MauriceReeves]

I like how 'Garson' was just lifted directly from the French. :-D

[SiavashMog]

"Garson makarna yer"
Is it talking about a specific waiter or waiters in general?

[Sikeryali]

Waiter in general

[SteveCarre3]

I think it depends on context

[ManoWest]

I wrote "Waiters eat pasta" and it was wrong

[Edgemade]

You cannot make a subject in an accusative form. And it means both "the" and "none"

[CanSimit]

And garson is gender neutral unlike the ridiculous 'waitress' in English?

[Atti1911]

How on earth is 'noodles' not acceptable?

[AlexinNotTurkey]

It was just a missing alternative. I had to go back in and add these back, as noodles and pasta are different things in my dialect of English (and I was the only native English speaker on the course while we were developing the course). I realized later this isn't the case for everyone :) It has been added now.

So, you could use either "a" or "the" as an article for "waiter"?

[tuartli]

Shouldn't be accepted "The waiter is eating pasta" as well?

[Anja618967]

Why is makarna not in accusative?

[HighprinceVader]

It's not definite
