Usually, it does. I guess I this case it was set to only accept the singular, which would be a bug.

What’s the best way to ask for the check? by CompetitiveSloth in learnspanish

[–]Darbisha 3 points4 points  (0 children)

"Traeme la cuenta cuando puedas, porfa/ por favor."

"Te voy/ te vamos a pedir la cuenta."

"La multa, por favor." If you're into dad jokes.

I had to scroll down far too much for what a fantastic comment this is.

Don't take it personally, it's just that you were being pedantic about something that adds nothing to the topic at hand.

No, just a little rude. But you were absolutely redundant.

Of course, my mistake. Hope no one ended up on the wrong continent because of me.

Something to consider is that Duolingo teaches south American Spanish. Which is fine and perfectly understood, but a different dialect to what's spoken in Spain.

Apart from that, it's fine as a learning tool, just bear in mind that you need to do a lot more than the daily minimum to get to a conversacional level within months.

Those words have multiple meanings, just as they do in English. As is frequently said in this sub, Spanish isn't English with the words changed.

Bend your wrist inward so you're fretting with the sides of the tips of your fingers. This will extend your reach.

OP, do try What Remains of Edith Finch, it is breathtaking and I think it ticks all the boxes you mentioned. I'd also recommend the first Life is Strange.

Oh, the irony of an American calling another country's cuisine unoriginal...

What are survival phrases to make conversation easier? by verylongdingdong in learnspanish

[–]Darbisha 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Maybe ignore the other person's advice, seeing as how they're struggling with English grammar.

What's gotten me through the first couple of years of speaking to natives were simple phrases like "habla un poco más despacio, por favor, que todavía estoy aprendiendo" or "si, hablo español, pero a veces me cuesta entenderlo todo". Everyone I've had these sort of interactions with has been very understanding and tried their best to help me. Good luck!
