"Tian ĉi stultulon ni tute ne bezonas tie ĉi!"

Translation: We do not need this kind of fool here at all!

[Arkonide]

Would it not be possible to write: This kind of idiot we do not need here at all.

[mizinamo]

Yes, though it's probably less common than putting the object after the verb.

[TobyBartels]

It just accepted nearly this from me. (I wrote ‘fool' instead of ‘idiot’ and ‘don't’ instead of ‘do not’, otherwise the same.)

• Duolingo, when I try to test out of the whole tree to see if I can.

Lmao same

Mizinamo, thank you for your comments. I have come across translations that were faulted by actually were correct as an alternative. I rather belatedly found out that you can use the reporting function to alert the authors to perceived errors etc. I now make use of that function.

[Arkonide]

For 'by' read 'but' :-)

[mizinamo]

You can edit your comments, you know, rather than having to post a correction as a reply :)

[randomlinguist]

Can't, at least in the Android app.

[MelindaD1]

Can this be written "Ni ne bezonas tian ĉi stultulon tie ĉi tute."?

[HuckleSmothered]

This reads smoother than the original sentence in my brain.

[Arkonide]

Still learning Mizinamo.
