Tip: letters like "я" are "softening" consonants before them, they don't have any "y" (й) sound unless there's a vowel.
"Softening" example:
"s" sound at "seek" (i think)
For JoJo fans: second K at "Kakyoin"
From a fluent German speaker, it's difficult to pronounce German so you're doing a pretty good job.

sus...
i mean that was kinda expected tbh
"I don't need to read your terms of service to accept you" That is oddly profound. In the midst of all this bizarre hilarity, there are these few kind words. We should all accept people without needing to read their terms first.
No duo was talking about the terms in an app installer, he doesn't read all that wall of text and accepts

Agreed
duolingo staff literally uses memes to popularize their app
never let them know your next move
- Dog eats bone
0:48 yes finally polish!
I can agree it means My duck is tasty.
one time duolingo said to me
Good morning, Coffee!
Guten morgen, Kaffee!
Dude who says that
I keep getting "good morning, my city!" in Ukrainian. Which I thought was totally demented until I saw videos like this- clearly it's going to get waaaaaay more bizarre.
The Japanese ones are even funnier/more concerning knowing that one of the people they got to speak out the sentences for the course sounds depressed AF. If you know, you know. I imagine she must be the one with the demons living in her walls.
Gets even more concerning if you know Japan's suicide rate
gets even more concerning when you take japanese lessons on duolingo
I am the demon
Japanese future funk music is always suicidal and depressing
lol ikr
This would make a cool analogue horror game concept.
Imagine, a cute looking language learning app. Your first lessons start off great. You learn basic sentences and words. Everything seems normal until the characters start teaching you weird sentences. Small bits of stories, calls of help, warnings. You're a bit confused but you brush it off and continue your lessons. As you play more and more, the warnings get more serious, the calls for help more desperate and with each lesson you get a bit more of the stories. Each character seems to tell a different story but they all seem like they're going to have the same ending. Finally, the final lesson, you are now fluent in the language you wanted to learn when this all started but you keep playing because you want to know how the stories ends. So you play the final lesson. And suddenly everything is clear. You realize that those characters that have been teaching you, they're not characters, they're people. People who were previous victims of the app's mascot, they've been trying to warn you all this time. Their souls have been trapped inside the app and they've been trying to warn you that you're next. Now, with the final lesson done, you understand everything, the language, the stories, the warnings and the danger you're in. But it's too late. By completing the lesson, you've released the mascot demon from the virtual world and now the story's ending is happening to you. The app gets an update the next day, a new character has been added to the app. You are that character, and you've learned your lesson.
THIS IS HORRIFYING! I love it.

Duolingo: The Game
AHAH seeing the norwegian "blant oss" one got me rolling on the floor 😂
also, the "i think i am dying" is a common phrase used in norwegian for an example when its really hot outside and you say "jeg tror jeg dør/i think im dying" as opposed to the heat.

As a Danish learner on Duo, I can confirm that the sentences are totally weird af!
I remember once learning Romanian with Duolingo. Was given an english sentence and had 3 possible translations. I don't remember what I was supposed to translate, but among the options was "Eu mănânc copii"...which means "I eat children". I have a feeling Duolingo is doing this shit on purpose
Oh mo
"We found grandma's teeth on the refrigerator"
-Said by a character that had a bright smile
Probably dentures
Toothfairy was drunk.
@@WxIxLxLxIxAxMxS yeah
in my country it's common to keep a kid's baby teeth in a jar inside the fridge actually, if you were learning some sort of slavic language maybe that's why it said such a weird thing?
man just said "I don't know who I am anymore" while looks excited at the end lol
There is another great one in the Swedish course, which asks why there is a norwegian architect lying in my bed. Duolingo truly asks life's questions
That course also tells you that there's a man hiding behind the curtain with a knife 🔪
Wait thats so fitting!
And in the Norwegian course there is a similar one: "Why is there a Swedish telecaster lying in my bed?"? It makes even less sense!
@@charlielouise2428 and what about "if I die you get my money"?
Why IS there a Norwegian architect lying your bed, huh~?
With the first Indonesian question at 2:23 it gets weirder. (1) The same exercise had other variations of that existential question, such as "Mengapa saya ada di sini"(Why am I here). (2) It gave me these phrases repeatedly, in the same exercise. (3) "Exist" is not the translation of "Ada" used in early exercises. All of this would suggest that Duolingo specifically wants you to know how to ask existential questions in Indonesian.
This is the silliest thing I’ve ever seen on CZcams I am never ready to die
"Do you often kiss strangers like that?"

"What does the fox say?"
"We found grandma's teeth in the refrigerator."
Ya kinda just proved that the sentences are entertaining and memorable. That's the point. Entertaining sentances are easier to remember than boring ones, and vocab is easier to remember in context (a sentence or situation) than by themselves. It's an effective learning tool.
Here are some bizarre sentences that I had gotten assigned to me throughout the Korean Duolingo course:
• "The man is a child"
• "The meat eats me"
• "A bed is food"
• "We deceive the boy"
• "A bear eats a child"
• "Germans and Russians are learning the Korean alphabet together"
In North Korea, meat eats YOU!
the last one I'm howling
Cant forget “c h i l d m i l k”,which was the first sentence I learned
funny thing is that this guy is german and russian 😭
I lost all brain cells taking the Korean Duolingo course-
I like how pizza is a hard exercise
1:40
Why is this the most liked comment of my channel oh my god
Gotta put both my 2 braincells to work on remembering the word "pizza" in german
@@magg0t_zz pizza is called the same in german
@@charlotte-7700 this makes this even more funnier
Most liked reply of my channel
It's quite funny. I just wanted to say that all "hard exercise" means on Duolingo is that you have to type in the answer by yourself, instead of using tiles. Just in case someone was wondering.
@@charlotte-7700 everyone knows that
"It's small"
That's what she said-
2:07, “What does 8008 look like in a calculator”
LMFAOO🍈🍈OOOO
I remember getting "Oh no, the bread is too delicious!"
"Oh nein, das Brot ist zu lecker!"
Must be some really good bread
Oh non, le pain est trop délicieux!
โอ้ไม่, ขนมปังอร่อยเกินไป!
Ay no, el pan esta muy delicioso!
أو لا! الخبز لذيذ جدا!
Some courses definitely want to make you laugh sometimes. I once had "En elefant snakker ikke dansk" in the Danish course. This means: "An elephant does not speak Danish"
I'm doing Norwegian and got the exact same thing but norsk instead of dansk LOL
I think it's a reference to a famous "mind-reading" trick
Danish is full of funny sentences, I remember the "Manden spiser en kvindes frugter" which means "The man eats a woman's fruit"

0:01 I thought it mean 'Here is an photo from eminem"
"He shouted so loudly when the birds were eating his eyes" Duolingo bird?
well at least we know hell is quite warm
considering hell is located in norway that is pretty surprising especially because it is not even in the most southern part of norway
Isn't there a town called Hell in Michigan?
Duolingo: Why do you never come to see us?
Me: Because you ask me too many questions.
1:23 “I like your knives” 4:46 “the devils are inside the wall” 0:32 “where can we hide the bodies? He sold his soul to the devil he shouted so loudly when the birds were eating his eyes by the time you get this message I will have died M Y D U C K I S T A S T Y” 1:26 “I hear voices” 3:41 “the dog ate the table”
Once I got this sentence: "My dog has three eyes and he is unemployed."
Unbelievable! I mean..three eyes? Sure. But unemployed? Come on!
Ignoring the fact he has an extra eye, why do dogs need jobs?
@@Anotherchild_lol I'd rather not know about it.
I finished the entire Korean course so I can confirm that all the Korean ones are real. Now I'm going through the mandarin course and I've also gathered a few weird ones in my screenshots:
- Her father drinks tea from 6:30 to 9:00
- His cat ate your banana
- he doesn't play sports, he only likes to sleep
- he changes girlfriends every year
- my dog ate my homework
- the sun is gone!
- my cat died yesterday
- she likes to smoke after drinking alcohol
i just started the mandarin course a few days ago :)
THE SUN IS GONE!
get a new one
The Sun Is Finally Góńę
i love "he changes girlfriends every year"
1:07 I always see this sentence on Duolingo, and I'm sick of it
Tbh duolingo said the weirdest and creepiest thing sometimes. I got creeped out when im practicing in duolingo. I once got a sentence like "i don't open that door" or "the tall man behind me is not my brother" which is kinda eerie when you are by yourself in your house
how about "surely the young man is not a city"
Latin
Dutch : " I NEED TO HIDE A BODY"
Irish : "Well my fridge is pretty spacious"
6:39 *”YOUR FACE POLLUTES THE VIEW HERE.”* I would accept that as an insult or a roast.🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
"Don't forget your son at home again!"
Duolingo's message to dad going to buy milk
Some of the weirder ones I’ve gotten are “I/You/We do not eat turtles.”, “I am a fish!”, “Mice do not exist.” (I think they may be trying to convince me of that one as I have encountered it at least 6 times in the past week), and “It is raining men.”
Hallelujah
Ah, the Swedish course. There plenty of other funny sentences😂
hallelujah
Mine are “on the cucumber” “child milk” “cucumber milk”, korea loves cucumbers and milk
hallelujah
"We are inviting a snail to the barbecue at the park" is actually kinda cute ngl
0:43 technoblade what did I tell you about leaving your stupid messages in our app
One time i got “Its alright, I like older people anyways.” It is a great sentence though! Nothing is wrong with it..
Norwegian Kid:
What do we say to the god of death?
Russian Lady:
You are not my dad.
I'm part Norwegian viking😆
Ukrainian lessons:
"What problems do you have?"
"Viktor could see everything."
"He thinks about the soul."
"My business."
"I am not a ghost."
Edit: I'm a Ukrainian who decided to speedrun the lessons to see the weird things Duolingo teaches.

@@reverie02 окей, бывший мариуполец на связи. На юго-западе страны тихо, тут бомбить особо нечего (разве что один раз недавно). Мы с семьёй непонятно как уехали из города третьего марта, и всё уже было похоже на... Не знаю даже, как сказать, на постапокалипс, пожалуй. Всё пусто, серо, темно(вид ночного города без света чем-то даже завораживал, приходилось постоять на улице, когда единственный доступный подвал заволокло дымом). Я жил в той части города, которая попала на пути чуть ли не первой, с первого дня у некоторых вылетали окна (ещё до двадцать четвертого было слышно за городом выстрелы), потом начали палить в дома. Мы второго, как обычно, вышли в общий коридор из квартиры, т.к. опять слишком свистело, и через минуту в нашу квартиру попало, лол. Ну, вода итак была грязной ужасно, потом и электричество вырубили. Короче, нам повезло, машина чуть ли не единственная осталась целая, мы и уехали на следующий день. От тех кто позже выехал знаю, что ради воды топили снег и ждали дожди, готовка на улице. А ещё люди не имеют права в звонках и сообщениях говорить, что всё плохо, иначе им будет ещё хуже. На выезде сейчас военные проверяют переписки и фото, чтобы не было следов. Как-то так, хз. Новости особо не читаю.

I love how the facial expressions and body language of these characters go with all these sentences. And the funniest thing is that only Lily, because of being a sarcastic goth gf and not a happy go lucky person, like all the others, looks like she is actually saying these sentences.

"It is very warm in hell" now that explains where he hid my family and what he is-
"we eat the dead chicken" is probably the only sentence that makes the most sense

- The women are already in the park
- Here's our offices
- The person is by the door
- The child has a mother
- Do you have mother at your place ?
- A chicken - it's a bird
It looks like some kind of a reality show to be honest
So i also found these strange sentences, they're also from the Russian language lessons:

I must add "The economics are economical."
Theres the new "This floor here is made out of floor" we've been searching for.
Hmm yes, the floor here is made out of floor
“Something about the economy is economic”
I hope it's from the Russian course because this one is an actual quote! It's Brezhnev's (one of the Soviet leaders), if I'm not mistaken: "Экономика должна быть экономной" ("The economics must be economical")
I keep getting "business is business" in Ukrainian. Very helpful to know, thanks duo.
From yesterday's Duolingo:
"Don't kiss the spider"
And
"The businessman did not understand the sudden demand for wireless bananas"
1:56 This is a Norwegian phrase that did not translate btw, lol. It means "Hurry up!"

Once while learning Swedish it said: "If I die you get all my money". After that came "there is a man with a knive standing behind the curtain"
Coincidence? I think not
"what do we say to the god of death?"
"you're not my dad"
What makes this funnier is the fact that some of this out of context dialogue actually fits the characters- 🤣

I refuse to believe that Duolingo randomly made such complex and entire expressions that way
Real people made it.
That's the thing, these are all _manual_ 😂
Almost all of Duolingo's phrases are manually composed. Only a few are parametric (changed around for the occasion based on a template), however these are most common/noticeable in the beginning of a course, leading to the misconception of procedural generation.
Complex and entire expressions 3:12
I studied Norwegian there for a year and those ridiculous sentences really cheered me up! Btw, your Russian is not bad 🐝
I've got "The waiter is eating your croissant" and "Do you work in the restroom" multiple times, but honestly I have to add "I want pants for my dog"
"If there is a god, he has much to answer for" is legitimately such a badass line
I've seen the "my horse is not an artist but an architect" one myself, and I triple checked it just to make sure I was reading it right. Until seeing this video I didn't think Duolingo sentences could get any weirder. Another sentence I saw in the Russian course was "your sweater is covered in blood"
I've seen those two. I also learn Russian
scared to get to that part in the course now
In Greek I got “my cat is an atheist, but David is a Christian.l
