"You are wrong."

Translation: Vi malpravas.

[HWF10]

Would "Vi estas malprava" be correct? Using an adjective

[Luis_Domingos]

Yes, that would be perfectly fine. This sentences was placed to explain that you can form verbs out of adjectives, but you should report it if your answer wasn't considered correct (next time you encounter the sentence, that is).

Dankon! Feeling frustrated with some sentences

[Luis_Domingos]

Remember this is a beta version - it's normal that some answers aren't there the first time, and it's your job and contribution to the community to report them. I received about 10 emails informing of changes implemented that I suggested: think of it as taking one for the team: you got it wrong, but if you report it no one else will have to again.

[Wilcynic]

I like to put in strange word orders to get them "wrong", so I can suggest them as correct solutions. While I'm not really a fan of the mandatory accusative case, I think as long as we're using it we might as well use it as it was intended: for free word order. I don't know if the course team likes me doing it, but the little message at the end of each "we now accept this translation" message tells me to keep it up, so I will. The language is so simple that the setback in the progress bar just means more practice for me.

I tried, "Vi estas malkorekta", but that was marked as wrong. Reported it!

[upyourally]

This is accepted now. :)

[YosunChang]

yep, fell for the same mistake too. error submitted!

[quiggy]

Is "vi ne pravas" allowed?

[LuisRodrigoRuiz]

You can say that to get the same meaning, yes. Vi ne pravas means you are not right. It puts a little more emphasis on it, though, so it's not as polite.

[blindcat97]

I wonder the same. Perhaps not because pravas has a form with "mal-" in front of it?

[donaldo_zouras]

According to the dictionary, prava and ĝusta are both related to being "right". I don't really understand the nuances that separate them, but without context for the sentence, couldn't "Vi estas malĝusta" be a reasonable translation?

[rolllandz]

why is "vi malveras" considered a wrong answer?

[Majklo_Blic]

I could be mistaken, but I don't believe veri is a word. The closest I could find was verdiri, to tell the truth.

However, to lie is not malverdiri; it's mensogi. In any case, lying is not quite the same as being wrong; since lying is by definition intentional, and being wrong could be accidental.

[StephenH0]

Vera means true, prava means correct/right.

[fibonatic]

Could in this case also the following sentence be used: "Vi malpravu."?

[Robbadob]

That would be sort of like "Be wrong". -u makes verbs commands.

[StephenH0]

Or wishes if it comes with a noun or pronoun. "Vi malpravu" would mean "May you be wrong".
