          Why would the "du" in this sentence mean "do you?"

          I'm not sure I follow. This sentence could translate to "are you smiling?" or "do you smile?"

              How could you tell the difference when something is translated whether it becomes "det" "Dere" or "du" because I have gotten questions about that wrong.

                "det" means "it", "dere" is the plural form of "you" (you all), and "du" is the singular form of "you".

                So, I just got this one, gave the correct answer (minus the question mark), but was marked wrong. Does duo now recognize punctuation?

                No, Duo ignores punctuation - either there was another mistake or it was a bug

                  Isnt "Do you smile" the correct form?
