"Tiu moderna objekto ne estas utila."

Translation: That modern object is not useful.

[FredCapp]

It is so not useful that I shall not even deign to name it.

[xigoi]

You mean a selfie stick?

[ChuckBaggett]

"That modern object is not useful" seems like an awkward and unnatural use of "object" to me.

[aquaticsklo]

It's unnatural and awkward in English, not esperanto.

[Bossy99]

Duo didn't accept thing instead of object :-o

[camcamcam753]

afero is thing.

[wilma1425]

They mean fidget spinners?

[deactivated user]

why not "uze" ? ahehehe please dont hate

[gcdgfz]

Wouldn't it be "uza" then, as "useful" is an adjective to describe the object and not a progress?

[seancenarox]

Sounds like something you would say about x-rays, vaccines, planes, and rocketships... this is as weird as that "American youth don't use stairs" question in an earlier unit...

[Lepidolite1]

Sounds more like something you'd say about a digital picture frame or something similarly asinine.

[JustinBrad525351]

Kaj ĉi tiu frazo ne estas utila, avino.

[gcgupta]

tiu or tio ?

[RomajiAmulo]

Tiu, as you're describing which that

[Mark251365]

Ne estas sounds like nes ta, blurred together

[vtopphol]

Pff... Modern stuff.

[Lesley611477]

I did not get a sound through so had to guess the words.
