"The old man very often repeats himself."

Translation: La maljunulo tre ofte sin ripetas.

[eibhinn]

Is "ulo" gender-specific? Wouldn't the phrase above mean "old person"? I put maljuna viro and it said it is wrong.

[masukomi]

I think it's just wrong.

[Mr.Knight]

Out of curiosity, why does Duo suggest "sin" precede the verb?

[ActualGoat]

I think it's showing that the order isn't important, and that the accusative on it shows the 'direction' of the verb.

[jc_eca03]

Ah, yes, and it is like you have said about the order.

[jc_eca03]

"ripeti" is a transitive verb, so needs an object. And that is "sin" (reflexive), refering back to the subject of the first clause.
