"La femme est forte."

Translation: The woman is strong.

[benu]

the voice mispronounces "forte" (puts unnecessary accent on the 'e')

[Persikov]

Thanks, sounded odd, but needed confirmation!

April 1, 2014!!!!!!! is anybody checks our reports at all???

[drockalgzemoser]

yeah, I noticed that too.

[Flanny-chan]

I'm surprised that this problem has been there for over a month... :(

[shriramk]

Maybe nobody reported it as a bug? I'll do so now...

[pjbf1979]

Still there. I'm also reporting

[Minituttle]

still there...report as well. Let's hope :P

[Jelc124]

I'm reporting as well

[joemcelrath]

One does not sound the "t" in the masculine form of the adjective. One does sound the "t" in the feminine form. But--in my limited experience--I have found that persons who live in the southeast of France, e.g., Toulon, often sound final vowels while northerners living in cities such as Lille do not prove so musical in their pronunciations. Still, one would expect to hear "uh" rather than "ay" for the end of "forte" if listening to one of the southern songbirds.

[moncoeur3]

Has anyone reported it?

[Flanny-chan]

As you can see in the rest of this thread, people have been reporting it since 2012.

[boringtomi]

This is crazy!!!

[Sitesurf]

Forté is still there 12/14/2013

[holasb]

Fix the pronunciation, it has been wrong for too long.

[shriramk]

No point saying it here. Report such things as problems.

[apohran]

Perhaps the woman is musical and not strong, but loud...

[Sr.Stephen]

The audio is obviously computer generated, so I'm guessing it may take longer to fix the program than just rerecording the sentence.

[wsmsfrench]

ok was wondering if i was the only one who heard that- maybe im not so crazy after all

[Brittt97]

Forte can mean loud as well as strong! So 'the woman is loud' is still correct!

[janeenm]

Well, Duolingo is a wonderful free service for us all. The bug has been reported already almost 30 times. There are thousands of corrections the programmers (volunteers? ) have on their "to do" list. I thank everyone who has contributed so much work to DuoLingo.

[KateGreatest]

Moi aussi. Je ne pense pas qu'elle veut parler "Ay."

[bonnie.sjoberg]

Peut-etre elle est Canadienne.

[benu]

Ha!

[vania.atti]

She pronouce forte like Spanish the e as é at the end and it's wrong

[Sitesurf]

For your information, I reported it already a number of times, the first time was in July 2012...

[Mihaela6]

still here the mispronouncing 26/12/2013

[infoleah]

Bug. Also, 'forte' is a polite way of saying 'grosse'

[phbrasile]

The recording pronounced "forté"

[Inger17]

Fortée? This is what she actually sais, and it is wrong. And people have been reporting this bug for years? They tell us to stop the clutter.. Oh, well. Perhaps they should read the comments on this page before they tell us to .. well ..

[Sitesurf]

They have known for months, but apparently retouching the audio is far more difficult than changing texts. So we have to be patient...
