Translation: You are absolutely brilliant.

Gracías, Duolingo, eres muy amable.

Really Duo? This plan is kind of desperate and I have no idea if it will work

[jameswyett]

I heard this recording as "El es absol....", but I was corrected. Oops. "El es" sounds much like "eres" in this recording.

[MystyrNile]

l and r sound similar, period

[AshleyBlackwood]

Is 'brillante' used for intelligence as well? I thought one would describe the sun as 'brillante' and a person as 'genial' or 'inteligente'.

he pensado que se describiría 'el sol brillante' y 'la persona genial'

[Lrtward]

Yes, brillante can be used for intelligence. A great resource for looking up information like this is WordReference. If you don't know about it, try it out! http://www.wordreference.com/es/en/translation.asp?spen=brillante

[Talca]

Yes it can be used for intelligence. But I want to add that the other day I saw the Spanish word brilliante
used as "bright" like the English: bright colors, bright light, bright clothing. Saludos.

I always thought genial was nice, not smart

[Telisa7]

When I first learned genial it was "cool/awesome".

Duo, you are really awesome and thank you for that lovely complement. You made me feel better.

[ArrigoDelaRoca]

... Señor Edison.

[GanzMary]

Sounded like "el es"

[heidi.dejo]

Pay attention for the r sound.

Thou art absolutely brilliant is informal in English, and Eres is informal in Spanish, it should be accepted.

[Andreaja69]

'Thou art'? Which century were you born in! This is biblical English rather than present day.

[VanessaJ101]

Apparently, the correct response is not: "Gracias, lo sé" :-)

[YoSoyNachoLibre]

...No me gusta lenguaje personal...

[rooh953521]

Is it not okay to say, 'eres briliante absolutamente'?

[RyagonIV]

Adverbs normally come before the word they're modifying.

[uke_silver]

I doubt Duo's sincerity.
