"Два стільці у кімнаті."

Translation: Two chairs in a room.

[TheBigE1980]

Two chairs in the room should also be accepted. "A" vs. "The" is a recurring problem throughout the course. Since Ukrainian has no articles, the two words should be interchangeable. Reported.

It is corrected now ;)

[MorozovMI]

No, it is not.

[sagitta145]

Yes, it is.

sometimes I have an impression that using Duolingo you are not learning a language -- you're learning how to pass tests on Duolingo.

Два стільці у кімнаті. -> there are two chairs in a room
this is an incorrect solution чому то. Wow

[sagitta145]

"There are two chairs in the room" is "У кімнаті є два стільці".

[BenMedved]

this is not a sentence in english. is it a sentence in ukrainian?

[sagitta145]

In Ukrainian it can be either, since we skip the "to be".

Can be "not a sentence" (a phrase? a combination of words? how is it called in English?), "two chairs in the room". Can also be a sentence "Two chairs are in the room" (Два стільці (є) в кімнаті, we skip є)

[BenMedved]

I would like to translate this sentence as "This room has two chairs." or "The two chairs are in the room." Doesn't it need to be a complete sentence if it has a period at the end? Without the period it could be a sentence fragment. (I think that is the term you are looking for, by the way)

[MichailoGM]

You used the word 'phrase' correctly to describe the words above which make sense, but are not a sentence in English.

Why is it два instead of дві

[sagitta145]

Because the noun "стілець" is masculine.

Два is used for masculine and neutral nouns, and дві for feminine nouns (e.g. дві машини)
