My mum used to do Dutch on Duolingo (before giving up and doing Welsh instead) and one phrase she used to get quite frequently was "You might be a duck."
Norwegian has a bunch of good ones that form a story "My wife hates me", " I am getting divorced", "She is taking the kids" and " I am eating bread and crying on the floor"
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."
Questionable sentences I’ve gotten from the Korean course: “A man is not food.” “I am slow.” “Duo is a police officer.” “There is no bed in the park.” “The men fall down together at the library.” “Movies are meaningless.” “Books are meaningless.” “Is an orange a vegetable?” “Is coffee a fruit?” “He buys a fox.” “The cat eats a banana.” “The doctor lies in the room.” “The cat is going to school.” "Germans and Russians are learning the Korean alphabet together." A few my brother has gotten from the Norwegian course: “My husband doesn’t eat children.” “Bears have bicycles.” “Are they eating spiders?” “I don’t know who I am.”
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.
Finally someone said it you never know when a random french person ask you about their dead father who lived in germany and worked as a doctor and maried a teacher
When I was attempting to learn Spanish it would throw such interestring phrases my way, like "I am a horse" and "I have a knife". Clearly very useful phrases to know, and I suppose their strangeness is what makes them stick in the mind so it works BECAUSE it's weird.

Honestly, the Latin ones in this video are so tame considering how some sentences I’ve encountered include “I destroy those parrots with fire”, “The young man wants to descend from the altar” and “by chance the gods destroy the humans” (the latter of which was accompanied by a very happy-looking Duo). Honourable mention to “Marcus is half-asleep or stupid”.
That's pretty tame and normal for Latin. When I was learning Latin in high school the first complex sentence we learned how to translate was "The horse killed the farmer with arms." or "Equis argricolam cum armis necat." I was able to say "I will kill the gods" before "hello my name is" when learning Latin because those words were more useful.
a few phrases i have learned in german, thanks duolingo! "the baby takes over" "children, why are you bleeding?" "he replaces you" "i swim in milk" "we see every egg" "is food important?"
I’m currently learning Greek. So far, I’ve only learned one color. Pink. It pops up in practically all my sentences. The pink water. The pink toast. The pink soup. The bread and the fish are pink. The pink water. The pink water. THE PINK WATER. STOP TELLING ME WATER IS PINK.
i always got: the rice is pink there is drama in the mini market the theatre in the museum I moved on to Hungarian and get: i do not want to see the ice today you see bread, I see dinner I am looking for some small children where is the fire the driver is never alone and many more

I completed the entire Latin tree on Duolingo, and boy did I encounter a lot of weird parrot sentences! My favorites were "The parrot is burning down the bridge," and "My parrot is either half-asleep or stupid." I didn't even think the ancient Romans had parrots.
Oh, yes - in fact the name for the parrot family (Psittacine) actually comes from the Ancient Greeks. Romans got them from India, Africa... kept both as pets and as a culinary delicacy. They also traded them through much of Europe. How one could burn down a bridge, though, is anyone's guess 😀

When I learned Ancient Greek, our textbook had sentences like "We threw the babbling old man off the cliff" and "Some children do not deserve to live".
@@NickAndriadze Yeeeeeep haha a lot of the practice sentences were directly from classical texts. Just hilarious to see them in a textbook, especially because my teacher was big on group practice. We threatened/vowed to kill one our classmates on a daily basis.
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
My absolute favorite sentence I ever got on Duolingo was “Il pericolo è il mio pane e la morte è il burro”, which translated to “Danger is my bread and death is the butter” in Italian. I want that on a shirt
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.
Once on Duolingo, I got a “choose the right response” which was: “My brother is really smart.” The answer choices were either: “Is he single?” or “Where is the nearest hospital?”. Apparently the right answer was to ask whether he was single. Strange conversations the Duolingo staff must have…
I studied linguistics and honestly, that's EXACTLY the conversation I would expect ladies who graduated with that degree and now work at Duolingo to have
@@bro91wn no, they are actually both Norwegian and not Swedish, although they along with danish are extremely similar languages those two are Norwegian (this is coming from a Norwegian)
Learning Norwegian I got things like "I'm eating bread and crying on the floor", "I want to choose a new husband" and "In just seven days can I make you a man" and in the English course for Spanish speakers the weirdest thing was "Dad's favourite hobby is leaving negative comments online".
@@ornitorrinco_en_la_caverna In Just Seven Days I Can Make You A Man is a song Franknfurter sings about building Rocky. It's an insane and insanely funny movie.
"Love is blind, but the neighbors ain't." sounds like a great start for several horror ideas update: i forgot how relationships work. either way it's a horror story for the neighbors.
I got some questionable sentences while learning Irish such as “he walks on water” “the dogs drink wine” “the deer speaks Irish” and “the woman is in the fridge”. Just wanted to share those
I can’t wait until I get advanced enough on Duolingo to get these types of sentences. Right now I’m at “Tú eres una mujer” and “yo como manzanas” in my Spanish lessons 💀
From my amazingly amazing French lessons: "Why do we have to learn all this?" "The waiter is eating your croissant!" "I am a butterfly." "I hear screams." "You are so hot that I get a sunburn." "The groom's father undressed in the church!" "You are a student, you cannot sleep." "I die alone." ...And from my Italian lessons: "Danger is my bread and death is my butter." "Why do we die?" "You are a clown."
True story: my great-grandfather dodged mandatory military service by showing up with his cows and insisting the cows would have to come with to training so he could milk them. "There's a problem he wants to come with his cow" has a use after all!
At 2:32 one of the questions asks "Are we studying the fish or is the fish studying us". Right after that it says "he knows". I imagine that to be the fish.
Love the Swedish ones. There’s also “He doesn’t eat turtles” “Is your father still alive?” “The moose is not real” “My brother is in prison” “They will call me if she dies during the night”.
I do Latin and it frequently makes me say, “You are the father” and “You are not the father” Like bro who tf is getting people pregnant in my Duolingo lessons
I suspect that the "Five ants is more than four elephants" one is swedish as well since it's the name of a swedish television show. The show was about teaching children linguistics/numerical linguistics, hence the weird titel.
One time, my brother told me to say “silk” five times, and then asked “what do cows drink”. I said “milk”. Then i opened duolingo about 10 minutes later, and the first question i got was “evet, inekler sütü içer” which translates to “yes, cows drink milk” in turkish.
The ONLY one that makes sense is "Five ants is more than four elephants" it's a reference to a Swedish show with the same name. I had it on VHS as a kid. I highly recommend it if you are currently learning Swedish 😊
I love how "I want to live in your shoes so I can be with you every step of the way" is really wholesome and then after that its just "The end is soon."
I stopped doing Russian Duolingo courses and went to a better source for learning the language and all its complexities back in 2020.. but- I will never forget “My mom is not a radio.”
Let’s also not forget our dear friend Ivan Ivanovich, who was killed by his own father, Ivan the Terrible, and now says weird things to language learners about quantities of bread through an app
It's great to know every one of those sylly things was intentional. According to science, humor helps to memorise things, and also according to science, unespected things have humor potencial.
Once, while trying to learn Russian, I had some phrases saying: "The stock market is running away" "I don't have the playground" "Children have escaped" "The man called Andrew likes his car" (lmao) "Please can you drink my milk" "It's not a butterfly, it is a kangaroo"
This is actually genius. Have you ever heard the memorizing tip of " make a story in your mind that contains each the words"? Those sentences feel like they have a bigger story behind them, they are so weird and creepy that you will always remember them, and hopefully also remember how to say them in the language you are learning
If anybody is wondering the one that says "five ants is more than four elephants" is a refrence to a swedish 80's kids show named just that but in swedish. Its educational and meant to learn kids how numbers work and the name comes from the fact that despite elephants being larger it is not a larger number.
I watched that show in 1st grade. I can also add that 0:55 "Salty salt" reminded me of two identical funny answers from Fast Money in Russian "Family Feud": -How can salt be? -Salty! In the first case, the answer was worth 0 points (nobody of the people questioned said that), but the second time this was asked, the response "salty" was worth 4 points.
About 20% of the Latin course was about those drunk parrots. Also had a lesson in Japanese that was just "Your grandmother is dead", "Your dog died", "Did he die?".
Some phrases I’ve come across learning German on Duolingo: “You are a mouse” “Here is an egg” “Julia is an owl” “Is the coffee delicious?” “Good morning, coffee!” “The mouse comes from New York” “Does the dog always swim?” “The cat never plays the piano” Edit: I’ve just started learning Irish, and 90% of the sentences are some variation of “It’s windy today”
I can’t believe you actually shared a picture with a romanian lesson! I feel so happy! Btw it was the one with “Ana mănâncă un canar”. (I am from Romania)🇷🇴
I shall quote some of the weird sentences I have translated to English from the Dutch-German course (or the other way around I am not sure). "Why does the shower smell like penguin again?" "Hey, this bush has got legs" "They have found my feet" "She found the leg in the garden" And some from English-Hebrew: "My secretary is helping me too much" which I just think is something not many people complain about "How do you eat an elephant?" "Why are you eating your fork?" "He loves fourteen women" "The cow is wearing fifteen scarves" "The ducks don't hate us" "My cat is learning English"
I also speak Dutch and tried to complete the whole dualingo, because I am a native speaker and wanted to test if I am relay good or not, and yes I found a lot of weird sentences
A few sentences I’ve learned from my duolingo Romanian course are: “Why is she sleeping on the roof?” “Maria is crying.” “He likes eating dogs.” “Yesterday, they punched a child” “Her babysitter eats raw pigs.” ..at least I learnt something.
The German tree has an entire 'skill' (I think that's what they call them) about asparagus, including sentences about meeting the Spargelkönigin (asparagus queen)

My friend and I have been learning German on Duolingo and he’s been getting some weird phrases like “Sorry, your doctor is playing volleyball now” and “Suffering is his destiny”
Ah, yes. When a devotee of Schopenhauer gets a translation gig... Doesn't explain the doctor and the volleyball, though. So much for German universal healthcare, eh?
I was learning Greek on Duolingo, and it taught me to say ”το ψωμί είναι ροζ” which means ”the bread is pink” in English before learning how to say ”hello, how are you”.
"The museum is pink." I encountered pink _museums_ before anything else... I knew Greek sculptures were originally painted in vivid colors, but uh. Someone must've goofed.
I’m learning Spanish on Duolingo, my sister is learning French on Duolingo. Once, I had to translate a sentence that said “Do you speak French?” in Spanish and I was supposed to respond with “No, but my sister does.” I’m still terrified of how it knew
Here are some Duolingo gems I've come across while learning French and Italian: "Leave the ice alone!" "Let's think about it every evening!" "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

''Some children do not deserve to live'' sounds like a *VERY* spartan thing to say, and so is throwing someone off a cliff. Duolingo knows too much...
@@NickAndriadze Yeeeeeep haha a lot of the practice sentences were directly from classical texts. Just hilarious to see them in a textbook, especially because my teacher was big on group practice. We threatened/vowed to kill one our classmates on a daily basis.
Wait. You can learn Ancient Greek on Duolingo?

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

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.

Once on Duolingo, I got a “choose the right response” which was: “My brother is really smart.” The answer choices were either: “Is he single?” or “Where is the nearest hospital?”. Apparently the right answer was to ask whether he was single. Strange conversations the Duolingo staff must have…
Intelligence is an attractive trait
Nah, it's the correct answer justbecause the other one is completely unrelated.
So it's the least incorrect answer.
I studied linguistics and honestly, that's EXACTLY the conversation I would expect ladies who graduated with that degree and now work at Duolingo to have
@Mako_The_SeaWong We'll never know...
no embercat, the right answer should've been “Where is the nearest hospital?”. intelligence is a disease.

The "I want to live in your shoes, so I can be with you every step of the way is definitly a pick-up line.

"Why do we have to learn all this?"
"The waiter is eating your croissant!"
"I am a butterfly."
"I hear screams."
"You are so hot that I get a sunburn."
"The groom's father undressed in the church!"
"You are a student, you cannot sleep."
"I die alone."
...And from my Italian lessons:
"Danger is my bread and death is my butter."
"Why do we die?"
"You are a clown."
The last 5 from the French course sound like a good romantic novel
That first Italian one sounded cool tho
"You are a student, you cannot sleep."

"You are so hot that I get a sunburn."

If anybody is wondering the one that says "five ants is more than four elephants" is a refrence to a swedish 80's kids show named just that but in swedish. Its educational and meant to learn kids how numbers work and the name comes from the fact that despite elephants being larger it is not a larger number.
I was looking for this comment! I Loved that show!
OMG YES i have that show on dvd from when one of my parents was a kid!! i had that shit on repeat
I literally just commented that! That show was my childhood.
I watched that show in 1st grade.
I can also add that 0:55 "Salty salt" reminded me of two identical funny answers from Fast Money in Russian "Family Feud":
-How can salt be?
-Salty!
In the first case, the answer was worth 0 points (nobody of the people questioned said that), but the second time this was asked, the response "salty" was worth 4 points.
yeah ''Fem myror är fler än fyra elefanter''
About 20% of the Latin course was about those drunk parrots.
Also had a lesson in Japanese that was just "Your grandmother is dead", "Your dog died", "Did he die?".
EVERYONE’S DEAD
The Japanese lessons from what you describe, provide useful sentences for weebs and no one else.
@@andreimircea2254 I think I did actually get "お前はもう死んでいる!" once.
@@Chikaras086 google doesn’t show me the translate text on the comment, mind translating the Japanese sentence as a reply on this comment. Please?
@@andreimircea2254 'You are dead!'
Some phrases I’ve come across learning German on Duolingo:
“You are a mouse”
“Here is an egg”
“Julia is an owl”
“Is the coffee delicious?”
“Good morning, coffee!”
“The mouse comes from New York”
“Does the dog always swim?”
“The cat never plays the piano”
Edit: I’ve just started learning Irish, and 90% of the sentences are some variation of “It’s windy today”
But more importantly, did u get them right?
Pls tell me u did
@@The_Dark_Lord_Sauron yes I got them right
@@crystalandmax YEAHHHHH!! 🤣✨🥳
Is it really so windy there that 90% of sentences are commenting on the wind?
I can’t believe you actually shared a picture with a romanian lesson! I feel so happy! Btw it was the one with “Ana mănâncă un canar”. (I am from Romania)🇷🇴
the funniest thing about "why is there a norwegian architect in my bed" is that the language isnt even norwegian, its swedish
And the Norwegian one has “why is there a Swedish telemarketer in my bed”! 😆💚
As a Norwegian, i guess i should check my doors and windows the coming nights…
@@randomsomewhat-kinda-quasi1065 Well, that depends: how hot is this telemarketer?
Now THAT is the 1000-point question, but eh, probably not
Still a valid question
I shall quote some of the weird sentences I have translated to English from the Dutch-German course (or the other way around I am not sure).
"Why does the shower smell like penguin again?"
"Hey, this bush has got legs"
"They have found my feet"
"She found the leg in the garden"
And some from English-Hebrew:
"My secretary is helping me too much" which I just think is something not many people complain about
"How do you eat an elephant?"
"Why are you eating your fork?"
"He loves fourteen women"
"The cow is wearing fifteen scarves"
"The ducks don't hate us"
"My cat is learning English"
That first one is a certified Evangelion Neon Genesis moment
My personal favorite English-German sentence: "The invisible bear is green"
@@mousetrap.p.gulligan Whoever wrote that probably took LSD
Because it's Jim Carrey's shower
I also speak Dutch and tried to complete the whole dualingo, because I am a native speaker and wanted to test if I am relay good or not, and yes I found a lot of weird sentences
A few sentences I’ve learned from my duolingo Romanian course are:
“Why is she sleeping on the roof?”
“Maria is crying.”
“He likes eating dogs.”
“Yesterday, they punched a child”
“Her babysitter eats raw pigs.”
..at least I learnt something.
Who's Maria?

throwback to the time i was doing duolingo and i got "spanish or vanish, run." As my sentence (I closed the app after that) 😰
The German tree has an entire 'skill' (I think that's what they call them) about asparagus, including sentences about meeting the Spargelkönigin (asparagus queen)
Why asparagus of all things? Do German people have a thing for it?
@@limiv5272 apparently so, they even have asparagus festivals, which is where the asparagus queen thing comes from I think
@@limiv5272 yup, we basically have an entire asparagus season xD and those festivals that op already mentioned
Oh my. I'm doing German and I want to see this

Recently, during Russian-English courses, I had sentences "There's no hope" and "Freedom is not free"
Duolingo taught me how to say “this is not a bicycle” in Russian
@@verycoolperson1333 yea it is DEATH
I think ur telling the truth bc I saw a comment saying the same thing
Well, those sound like useful sentences if you are planning to move to Russia right now
"Freedom is not free."

So how are you able to type this if you're literally dead.
This UA-camr is hilarious I love him so much
Anyone who has ever completed the Duolingo Romanian tree on level 5+ knows how unhinged the sentences are 😭😭😭 literally had to stop over and over and think who approved this? The devs have all run for the hills and honestly, I understand why.
Can you give us some examples??

My friend and I have been learning German on Duolingo and he’s been getting some weird phrases like “Sorry, your doctor is playing volleyball now” and “Suffering is his destiny”
Ah, yes. When a devotee of Schopenhauer gets a translation gig...
Doesn't explain the doctor and the volleyball, though. So much for German universal healthcare, eh?
I was learning Greek on Duolingo, and it taught me to say ”το ψωμί είναι ροζ” which means ”the bread is pink” in English before learning how to say ”hello, how are you”.
well it's based on the probability of usage for sure
"The museum is pink." I encountered pink _museums_ before anything else... I knew Greek sculptures were originally painted in vivid colors, but uh. Someone must've goofed.
το ψωμί είναι ροζ
Os peixes bebem água?
Duo taught me Finnish for "Is that cat or a Viking?" Before it taught me to say "bye"
Omg I’m learning Finnish and one sentence I got was “Is the naughty cat a Viking?”
I’m learning Spanish on Duolingo, my sister is learning French on Duolingo. Once, I had to translate a sentence that said “Do you speak French?” in Spanish and I was supposed to respond with “No, but my sister does.” I’m still terrified of how it knew
Its Duo...he knows everything
@@primestking10 I read that as “It’s Dio, he knows everything” lmao
@@retinazer7652 you thought it was the mascot for the Duolingo app, KONO DIO DAA!!!!
Here are some Duolingo gems I've come across while learning French and Italian:
"Leave the ice alone!"
"Let's think about it every evening!"
"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
LOL OMG
@HQ__ no wayy! She didn't even tell me
Marie… shut up…. Marie shut up. SHUT UP. SHUT UP. SHUT UP.*sobbs*

One time when I was learning German, I got the sentence "Oh no! The bread is too delicous!" And i got it twice.
Same
SAME BAHAH
Same, pretty Normal tho
Wir haben gutes Brot hier :)
“Oh nein! Der Brot ist zu lecker!” (Was that it? I never got the sentence, but I know how to say/write it in German.)
okay the "every step of the way" one was actually kinda cute ☺️
