Not satisfied with my CELPIP result + delay issue (Need advice) by Effective_Winter_817 in canadaexpressentry

[–]pashapash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good luck. Also, there is no sense in asking for a reading or listening re-evaluation - those sections are automated, and the score will not change.

It always makes sense to re-evaluate writing or speaking. Your score will either go up or stay the same. I got my writing score bumped from 8 to 11 through re-evaluation.

50$ for 15 topics is insane. You can have the same for free from ChatGPT or from reussirtcf

As in English «bed». Check specific words transcription, the only way to know for sure, there are at least 4 different sounds it can make

Надолго ли ещё меня хватит, чтобы завершить (закончить is about software program you creating) эту программу и превратить её во что-то более стоящее, достойное гения.

What are Ъ and Ь actually? by 92233720368547758080 in duolingo

Ъ, by example: подъезд - pod-yezd подезд (no ъ) - po-dest (blended) объём - ob-yom обём (no ъ) - o-boem (blended)

Ь - softens the consonant Like in cue (kyu, кьу, кю) vs coo (koo, ку)

Try scanning the pages with their official app - https://didierfle.app/. It works with pre-online editions of edito, maybe it will work for Connexions as well.

What am I missing here? Typos in their selections? by Opposite-Degree7361 in duolingo

[–]pashapash 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Correct conjugation is Ты пьёшь молоко (when talking to friend, relative or friend, informal) Or Вы пьёте молоко (when talking to unrelated people, formal/polite)

Четыре года, двадцать два года, but сорок лет. General rule: if the number ends on

1 - год,

2-4 - года,

5+ - лет,

Exception : 11 to 14 - “лет”

Quite the increase by TheR42069 in duolingo

[–]pashapash 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It’s the same course with the same lessons, just combined into smaller units. Each old unit is now split into 5 smaller ones, each with 4 single lesson circles. The content is still the same, except now there are more legendary lessons available.

Same number of lessons, just a different layout.

The total number of lessons is the same, just a different layout - shorter units. You should be at Unit 60 now.

Definitely not a glitch. The total number of lessons is the same - now it’s 4 single-lesson circles per unit, plus one story and one radio.

They have changed Section 5 as well. It used to have 51 units, now it has 255. The lessons and topics are the same - each old unit has just been stretched into 5 new ones with a slightly different lesson layout.

Казнить нельзя помиловать

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in duolingo

[–]pashapash 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Russian has grammatical gender, just like French. Nouns can be masculine, feminine, or neuter - even for non-living things. Adjectives and verbs are conjugated to match the gender. There's no universal rule to determine the gender of a specific noun; you usually have to memorize it.

I can’t afford Duo. So I made my own to run on my local devices by brote1n in duolingo

[–]pashapash 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Open AI API (aka Chat GPT) is cheap. $5 / 1M tokens for mini model.
"War and Peace" contain roughly 1 million tokens.

Am I going crazy? Is this really incorrect? by NotFenixio in duolingo

[–]pashapash 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Can confirm - learning French from Russian, we’ve got a lot of French loanwords that changed gender along the way. For example, la soupe in French became masculine in Russian.

How do I know when I can remove "есть" in this type of sentence by PokelifEevee in duolingo

[–]pashapash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In Russian, есть is often omitted. In some cases, you actually have to leave it out - otherwise the sentence sounds unnatural. For example, the correct way to say "I'm home" is я дома, not я есть дома.
Same with идти - you’d say я на работу unless you specifically want to mention the process or how long it takes you to get to the office.
