"La robo estas blua kaj nigra."

Translation: The dress is blue and black.

[deactivated user]

Ne, gxi estas blanka kaj orkolora!

[Tomath_]

I agree :D

[GXLD.]

I bet the Esperanto team argued what color the dress should be in this sentence.

[JamesBulls]

Hahaha, very funny Easter egg you tucked into the lesson XD

[Erven.R]

Jes! La robo estas blue kaj ❤❤❤❤❤. ;D

[Luko.]

I never doubted it

[Dekimate]

blue?

[YDdraigCoch]

*blanka kaj orkolora

[Varad211396]

I want to give a lingot but i dont have my new computer yet so I'm on the app.

[BrunoFerre413615]

Ora is okay, too, from what I searched.

[Nava795869]

Ne, gi estas blua kaj ❤❤❤❤❤.

[kiddo-depido]

This course is one of the bests!!! (The other one is the Turkish one :D)

[issaismailissa]

Hahaha you just went all in in duolingo :D that's a LOT of courses

[mktlc]

what kinds of things they say in turkish lesson?

[Sarah-Cheung]

No doubt of that!!! XD

[MassiveDump]

It's 2016 and I still have to put up with this.

[KrispinKeyes]

2019 kaj ĉi tio estas ridiga!

[EuroSpot]

2021...

[Coquipirate]

This is a little too political for my liking. They should accept both blue and black as well as white and gold

[jvmastermind]

Oh, I thought it was white and gold

[langlearnerZeke]

It's whatever you see it as. Both are correct. There by definition can't be an absolute correct answer since it's subject to how the particular person sees it.

[RaizinM]

If we are talking just about the picture of the dress, I'd have to say you are right. The picture can go both ways. But the actual real-life dress the picture is of is confirmed to be unmistakably blue and black.

[potestasity]

Depends on how you define color and you can indeed find various definitions for it. If you only judge by the light reflected and not the brain's interpretation of what the eye caught, that dress is definitely blue and black (admittedly, you would have to have good definitions for blue and black, but I think the most basic wavelength intervals would suffice).

[langlearnerZeke]

Oh thanks. I didn't know it was objectively blue and black.

[oboekonig]

its black and blue, made and created black and blue, but due you the lighting youre in or tampering done to the photo it may appear as "blanka kaj orkolora". trat the time this went around a third party saw green and grey as a mixture of both visuals.

[MikeSanMartin]

Does Esperanto have (a) differentiating word(s) for robe vs dress?

If one wanted to say a man was wearing a dress and not have it misinterpreted as a robe because word was inferred by our social norms...etc.

[brunofrra]

Robino?

[voidIndigo]

So, from what I understand:

robo -> dress (mostly feminine)

robino (female dress) -> robe (male dress)

I am laughing almost two minutes straight at this...

On a (slightly) more serious note, I would go with banrobo ou duŝrobo, but did not find any reference of both on google.

[BGXCB]

I was thinking the same thing. How about robe skirt for dress, robojupo?

[DYMBOR]

Sed mi vidas blankan kaj oran kolorojn :)

[Mallumejo]

Ne, Blanka kaj orkolora!!!!!

[robinac]

Whoa, Duo needs to calm down.

[vinofreddo]

No, no. Definitely white and gold.

[Pampelius]

Came here for this, wasn't disappointed! (Definitely blue and black though)

[Eraecthulugaes]

It is most definitely blue and black.

[JerryChandra]

showers thee with thine lingots

[Interrobang3]

*thy lingots

'Thine' is only used when the next word starts with a vowel.

[langlearnerZeke]

whoa, I didn't know that

[Interrobang3]

Can't say I blame you; we're studying Esperanto, not Early Modern English!

[langlearnerZeke]

Thou spakest true words.

[LisBohnert]

I could be wrong but believe thine is to thy as mine is to my

[DumGuyXDXD]

In early modern english, mine was just my but before a word starting with a vowel. So in a sense, you're right, but not the way you meant.

[AdamScott794079]

I think thine is like hers, and thy is like her
i.e. her hat is hers
thy hat is thine

[DavidLillo2]

Does it cost lingots to upvote?

[savourtardis]

No, but on the website it is possible to give lingots away to someone who has posted a comment.

[FuneralRave]

New mission, get good at duolingo then make it rain.

[blessedwhitney]

You have more lingots in this one post than I have period.

[langlearnerZeke]

here, have some lingots amiko

[benji3.141]

Have three.

[Sarah-Cheung]

I didn't see this coming!!!! OMG!!!

[ChristianofPeace]

Omg I didn't even notice that. :D

[Lundumo]

It counts "The dress is white and gold" as a correct solution.

[kiddo-depido]

Obviously XD

[KonradKond8]

I hoped I'll see this and I wasn't disappointed

[FluffyCat113]

Didn't realize this was still going on o.o

[RDelisciou]

Ne! Estas blanka kaj oro!

[Adnarime]

The dress is blue and black. I will never escape that damn dress LOL

[TuLaim]

Nice easter egg there, XD

[LenaJu1]

[Ethan569518]

[Sulla216268]

"The dress is White and Gold" is a valid answer.

Whoever makes this course, Mi ŝatas vin!

[AngeloBulf]

Ne, la robo estas bruna kaj palblua!

[Jake395]

NE, ĜI ESTAS BLANKA KAJ ORKOLORA!!!!

[Eraecthulugaes]

That is most definitely true. The dress is blue and black.

[AlexRider11]

[Zooblari]

Controversial, lol

[LeifSwanson]

Please don't Duo. I can't go back to that horrible time in internet history.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_dress

[namelimitsuck]

It was definitely black and blue!

[TheseGoldenBunz]

How come it isn't "La robo estas bluan kaj nigran"

[sdtrask1]

Waiting for Duo to wade into the audio controversy of Laurel vs Yanny.

[vtopphol]

It's Lenny.

[Dimdariusz]

Yes, it is. Some people think that it is white and gold, but it is not true.

[Molotok]

"Ne! Ĝia estas flava kaj blanka!"

[Isombard_505]

NE! GXI ESTAS BLUA KAJ ❤❤❤❤❤

[EsperWolf]

NANI?! NE ESTAS ORKOLORA?!
