"C'est un long vol entre l'Europe et l'Amérique."

Translation: It is a long flight between Europe and America.

The voice definitely said "volume" not "vol". This happened in a previous sentence in this lesson as well.

[studyy]

I definitely agree with you !

[agrumer]

The voice is definitely saying “volume,” which is the wrong word.

I'm asking myself if the answer could or should be "i'ts a long flight FROM europe to america" as well. Or is that wrong?

[rowaldp]

Guys, could you please fix this sentence? I thought it would be a long flight, but ended up writing a long volume, which don't make no sense unless you're talking about the loooong volume of Atlantic ocean water.

[shoeymcmooey]

why is it l'europe and l'amerique instead of just Europe and Amerique?

[thecatpetter]

You need an article before countries but not cities.

[CJ.Dennis]

Countries and continents.

[piscean59]

Is it wrong to translate the Europe and the America (sounds wrong all right especially the America part) or can it be the Americas?? would be grateful

[CJ.Dennis]

We don't use "the" in front of names (proper nouns) unless that is part of the name. It's usually because the country or area has a plural name that it gets "the":

• America
• The United States of America
• Europe
• France
• England
• The Netherlands
• The Balkans
• etc.

"The Americas" is the continents of both North and South America, and there aren't any other Americas which is why we use the definite article here.

Volume???
