    1:59 Love is blind, but the neighbour ain't (El amor es ciego, pero el vecino no) is an actual proverbial phrase in spanish. It means that the lovers may not see the toxic traits or red flags that their couples may have because they are in love, but people outside the relationship can see them more objectively because their judgement is not affected by the feeling of afection, thus why it is a good idea to look for advice from friends or people outside of the relationship

    For real though, Duolingo actually DOES make me think about what a sentence really means. It's easy to lapse into "auto mode" when translating sentences like "where is the bathroom?" and "do you want dinner?" but it's hard to do that with a sentence like "the boy eats 23 beetles."

  • @EarlHare
    @EarlHare 2 года назад +19054

    The silly and weird sentences are very deliberate. They are something you are extremely unlikely to hear out in the wild so it trains you to listen to each word and actually comprehend what is being said rather than just guessing the sentence based on what it's most likely to be saying.

    Here are some bizarre sentences that Duolingo assigned to me throughout my odyssey in the Korean course:
    - “The snake deceives her”
    - “I go to Korea every day”
    - “Korean is hard. Let's learn English!”
    - “I make fun of myself”
    - “The student lies down on the desk”

    I love this so much. I am a professional online language teacher and for years my learners asked me if I liked Duolingo. Finally I caved and tried it so at least I can say, This is not going to teach you to *converse* but you may learn to speak a little and definitely read and understand some spoken language. And then people gripe about these demented phrases because they are not practical. But if you understand the underlying mechanics and grammar, you can cobble together a lot.
    In Ukrainian, when you learn the inevitable animals (cat, dog, cow, pig, horse, mouse, bird), they throw in elephant for some reason.
    Dutch Duolingo is quite paranoid, giving a feeling of being watched and asking how many locks are enough.
    ...is Duolingo making the weird sentences less common? I really do not see a lot of interesting ones these days. Then again, I often maintain my streak just with a music lesson.
    Thank you for this fantastic video. It has made me chortle, chuckle, and wheeze-laugh a bit.

    "The pink pants aren't mine, they are my owl's." (shortly followed by "My sister wants to buy an owl")
    "Let's call ourselves a copy."
    "The cook doesn't eat the cat."
    I also have to mention how I once got that one same sentence - "Marie is going to France" - repeating over and over again an absolutely obnoxious amount of times. I finished the lesson feeling jealous and upset because, like, okay, Marie, you're going to France and I'm not, but do you have to brag about it so much?
    Edit: oh, and I also tried speedrunning Russian (since I'm Russian). Eventually I got bored and gave up on it, but I remember that the sentences I got were mainly either depressing (like "there is no hope"), or weirdly aggressive (like "you must write faster!"). Honestly, I can see our culture in both of these

    The wolf is eating the owl.
    The girl is eating the fruit.
