"Nein, der Rock ist nicht fertig."

Translation: No, the skirt is not done.

[blackberryf1]

I wrote "No, the skirt is not ready" and was not accepted, I think my answer was right...

[jelena.queen]

I wrote the same and they accepted.

[Joey191081]

Me too

[Martin9630]

I hear fertig as "fartig"

[skilja]

Me, too (native German speaker). That made me assume she meant "farbig" (colored)...

[Tim824695]

Why would you do this as a native speaker?

[d0kuso]

There's a concept of doing a "reversed tree" in duolingo to further learn the language when you finish the original tree. For example you would finish an English course in German and then a German course in English, to make sure that you really get the ideas, especially grammar. Also you can learn something about your own language, even if you're native.

[Toter_Engel]

It was really very helpful dear. Rhank you for the enlightenment.

[AndrDemetr]

Thank god it's not just me that keeps mis-hearing some German words. A native German speaker is struggling with it too. Thanks skilja.

[h2owned]

Rock sounded like Hoch, and I got it wrong. My mistake nonetheless for not thinking that a word like that would be in this section. But I stil think the audio needs to be fixed

[Deepak.Sahu]

" No, the skirt is not complete " can this be correct ?

[KhirouTaichi]

I wrote that too, it hasn't accepted it.

[Nancy676262]

I said the dress is not finished, which means the same thing as the dress is not done.

[DenDragani]

the pronunciation of FERTIG is way out - doesn't sound like it at all.....

[NubulusMaximus]

Fertig=finished "No the skirt is not finished" ...incorrect?! Finished & done have the exact same meaning. #English

[MatthewVan]

I had the same problem with "fertig" as the lady's voice mumbles at the end.

[ChristosRo1]

I had the same problem.I wrote ready and it wasn't accepted

[Frankie550398]

Sorry, in English you can't DO a skirt!!! It can be MADE or READY, but NOT DONE!!!

[Eloise23]

Maybe this is a regional thing, but here in N America you can ask the cleaner or alterations department if your skirt is done. In fact, I see no problem with using done in place of ready or made. Aug 31, 2018.

[jacqueline792319]

What's wrong with "The dress is ready"? If you hover over the word "fertig" the first answer you get is "ready ". I can't follow that reasoning.

[Tejaswi513696]

I wrote "No, the skirt is not finish " it is showing wrong....why?

[Eloise23]

Possibly the skirt is not finishED

[HelenGr]

The same problem. Can't understand why "ready" is wrong.

[Shanx666]

Can we use "Der Rock ist fertig nicht?" is it right or wrong?

[mystonline]

How do you say "No, the skirt is not 'yet' done"

[musmoulay]

mystonline, I think that would be "nein, der Rock ist noch nicht fertig".

[zorgborg]

Hrm, I got it wrong first two tries, so on the third, I gave up and err, said a naughty word, which it accepted...

[Sean_Gerhardt]

I wrote, "No, the skirt is not finished." and it showed as incorrect.

[BasselAmr1]

I answered fertig as finished and it wasn't accepted even though I feel its correct

[Kerrier]

I don't know if German speakers find this sentence difficult to say but I'm struggling. The guttural R followed by K, then st-n and ich, then t-f, and an ich sound to end. My mouth has gone on strike!

[koksu2]

The skirt is not ready, should be correct answer.

[grabagraba]

No the skirt is not finish ?????

[Eloise23]

Possibly the skirt is not finishED

[anthromom]

"Finished" wad not accepted as an alternative to "done"

[BenMorriso4]

Isn't = is not

[martijn57]

The skirt is not ready is right. Though Duo doesn't accept it.

[PaulaJolly]

I said finished, and that wasn't accepted.

[nate13key]

I wrote "No, the Rock is not finished" because I assumed Duo was talking about Dwayne The Rock Johnson.

[deactivated user]

the speaker in the first instance says der, but in the slow speech she says das

[Brian75502]

I agree with everyone who thinks 'ready' should be accepted!

[Mahika858209]

In what context would this sentence be used?

[SujithBhas]

Why fertig meaning doesn't take ready, since ready and done both go ok this context right

[LauraCox11]

I have not learned that word Rock yet and it is still asking me

[Brian75502]

If you tap the word 'ROCK' the translation will come up. You can learn the word that way too.

[FHG-Bear1]

Not ready or not done should both be accepted

[Anna783568]

I wrote it was not finished. Why is that wrong?

[TaviRenae]

My english teacher wouldn't allow us to use "done" unless were were referring to food. As a result, "finished" is my preferred word to use in this case.

[leoni.stor]

I feel that ready and done is the same thing. Therefor my answer is correct
