Duolingo can’t translate from French to English and I’m mad about it. It’s a LANGUAGE LEARNING APP.

As far as I’m concerned, the sentences are actually translated to:
- Oh really? But where are your suitcases?
- I am going to one of the hotels next door. Come with me!
- Me, too. I’m finishing my suitca…

This being because:
- “suitcase” is “valise”
- “suitcases” is “valises”
- “valis” is poop.
Lmao
I’m just finishing my poop
Lul Shannii said poop

Duolingo does basic language translations for some reason. Lmao. Even the French course I’m doing is simple

It is poop because “valis” would be pronounced “val-e” which is poop.
It just looks like someone on an iPhone mistyped “valid” and hit send" before their autocorrect could do its thing

The thing that peeves me the most about Duolingo French in particular is their question formatting
Generally, when you ask someone a question in French, you use the formal ‘vous’. Duolingo, however, always uses the informal ‘tu’ and then marks it wrong when I translate it the correct way, even though I’ve translated the question correctly
(For reference - I’ve been speaking French for 8 years and just use Duolingo to practice)

VALIS IS NOT VALID
Ugh don’t even get me started on the number of times I’ve had to submit a new “my answer should be accepted” translation!
Um… what was the actual answer?
