He confirms my point that the words are based on the location of the object in three categories

1 Near the speaker

2 Near the listener

3 Far away from the speaker and the listener

Duolingo does not seem to understand this

Picture of other related Korean words similar to what I called

Y, G and J in second video link

There are a whole class of words with variant spellings on these used on Duolingo with slightly different spellings and meanings that I believe Duolingo gets wrong

@Stahesh

He seems to think the definition is different from what I said but it is still different than the way duolingo uses words based on spelling variants of these types of words

Some of my previous comments about Y, G and J location words might have been wrong but Duolingo is also wrong

I maintain that I am correct to the best of my knowledge about the other points however

@shortstories Thx so much to check.

Yea I use duolingo tu get basics vocabulary so I can follow up with better content.

There is the problem of many languages where you learn official grammar

But the people speak differently. you can have different Dialect
that have different words and different grammar

@Stahesh

So for Korean there are different dialects in South Korea but there is a official standard dialect

Some of the compound vowels used to be pronounced different but in the standard dialect there are multiple compound vowels that make the same sound

The problem with Duolingo is not the dialects but the grammar

@Stahesh

The problems with the grammar are going to be the same no matter which dialect

The pronouns do not have gender in Korean

There are no words that translate as "a", "an", or "the" in Korean

Words that Duolingo translates as "this", "that", "a", "the", "those", "these" are misunderstood because they have special meanings that have to do with the location of objects that can not easily be translated to a single English word

@Stahesh

The problem is they will mark sentences wrong If you do not use the correct choice of "a", "an", "the", "this", "that", "those" or "these" but Duolingo does not understand that translation correctly and it is really annoying

You sometimes can not tell if a word is singular or plural without a number but duolingo makes you choose a singular or plural version of the word

So it makes you select a lot of very specific English translation choices where the translation is ambiguous

@Stahesh

I just find it annoying that it makes you choose very specific translation choices where the language is ambiguous and marks the points as wrong If you do not choose just the right choice

Over all I think it is one of the fastest ways to learn and still suggest using it and then figuring out the fine details it gets wrong later

I just which it would stop marking things wrong if I do not insert the word "a", "an" or "the" when words with these meanings do not even exist in Korean

@shortstories True I often figh with the and a/an. Because in slavic it does not exist too so I often forget it and for me it is waste of time.

I like when i learn russian they have it simple too.

Like On politik it would be translated He is a politician. So when I just do he is politician it take my heart away :(

Yes that is exactly the problem that frustrates me with their Korean language learning tool

@shortstories I hate these thing in languages like spanish and,german

Where I need to do correct gender of things and places like library or train station

Where I need to write ein eine das der die.

In spanish there are word that change with genders

@Stahesh

I am only studying genderless languages on duolingo

If I complete all the genderless languages they have then maybe I will try learning a language with gender

The people who invented Hebrew are sick in the head

Not only do the nouns have genders but the verbs have genders

I strongly suspect that Hebrew language has influenced transgenderism with their obsession with assigning gender to things that have no biological gender to a degree greater than most other languages

@shortstories is your goal to complete every language on Duolingo?

@LysanderMooner

Right now I am trying to complete Korean and Indonesian as my goal

And I signed up for other genderless languages also

If I complete all the genderless languages then I will try to learn Greek, Hebrew, Arabic, Hindi, French and Spanish

I tried to learn Greek, Hebrew and Arabic because they were too difficult because of their gender, number monstrosities

@LysanderMooner

Ancient Greek verbs are nasty

For one verb You might memorize five words and then a different conjugation pattern for each of the five words

So a verb has multiple different forms spelled differently and then each form is conjugated into a different table

@LysanderMooner

"I tried to learn Greek, Hebrew and Arabic because they were too difficult because of their gender, number monstrosities"

Typo

"I tried to learn Greek, Hebrew and Arabic but they were too difficult because of their gender, number monstrosities"

I wanted to learn all the ancient languages of the modern major world religions but they were just so difficult I decided I am going to give up if I can not master easier languages

@shortstories haha good luck 中文很容易

@LysanderMooner @shortstories I want to know major languages like Russian, English, Spanish, Arabic and Chinese

Yea KIKE language brings the ruin. I would not want to learn it.

I hate when they need to change with genders.

I like at least in English where you just say She is running home.

Like why the f I would need different words for other things that already have word why make it coplicated for no reason

@Stahesh Spanish is gendered, is Russian?

@LysanderMooner So far I mostly did their alphabet so most of the time it was just change on start like on(he) ona(she) at the begining and most words were same.

But this is what Google says.

@LysanderMooner @Stahesh yes Russian is gendered, and like German, there are three genders. And get this, they don’t have a word for “the” or “a/an”; they don’t have articles

@Mike_Microwave @Stahesh neither does Chinese
