Hands off browski.

You hands off browski

Things just got real.

Why is "You love my sister?" not accepted?

[Luckyh13]

Because Duo is trying to force you to recognize the question, but it doesn't pay attention to punctuation.

Thanks, I finally got it! :))

Not sure why a native speaker would be checking issues related to these lessons - but does anyone have any insight as to whether this woman's pronunciation is any good? I frequently can't understand subtle differences in her speech, whereas I speak with Brazilians and have more success.

My version has a man speaking. May 2021. The pronunciation of "ama" at turtle is "arma".

[LeonardoBarrera]

how can I differentiate from "Você ama minha irmã" as an affirmative statement from a question?

[reno300]

I'm guessing the question mark at the end of the sentence

[RafaelLuz2]

And the intonation

[TonyPay459804]

There is no question mark at the end of the sentence since it is audio only. There is a very slight intonation at the end, but very slight, and you need to listen several times to notice.

[hensous]

If it is written, you can look at the punctuation. If it is spoken, you can listen to the intonation.

[dejongbrent]

The intonation of "você" is a little different in a question

[deactivated user]

Is it just me or the audio partially skips the word minha? It sounds like "Você ama m...irmã?"

[Rich.Smith]

Why do objects of a verb (minha irma) sometimes need a definite article (a) and sometimes -- like here -- not?

How can I put question mark with ABNT 2 keyboard

[Bruno.Rodrigo]

I am a bit confused why we had a whole lesson teaching "YOU" as "TU" if the course keeps translating "YOU" to "VOCÊ" (as it should).

[Markwalk]

Hi Bruno, there are parts of Brazil where the "tu" form is quite commonly used, so it's good that Duo teaches us both ways.
