Please be patient

Our volunteers look into many questions every day; sometimes it takes them a little while to answer.

Pro tip: you can rename the thread title with `.tr <thread name>`

Make it descriptive, including relevant context, but also to the point. This way you improve your chances of getting a more relevant and specific answer.

you're right

the "correct" answer is the formal version

the even more correct would be "avez-vous besoin de cet ordinateur ?"

but your sentence is absolutely correct

[barren ice]

huh, the verb-pronoun form was accepted

thank you!

(it was literally the opposite case a few exercises ago lol, where the avez-vous was not accepted but the vous avez was 😭 )

💀

just duo things yk

[woven thorn]

Your issue is with how you spelled ordinateur

[scarlet needle]

oh wow ure right

maybe the little typo fcked everything up

[silent hollow]

It definitely did.

[blazing carbon]

It can also be plural

[silent hollow]

Can it? 'This computer' is singular, so I would be surprised if Duo accepted 'ordinateurs'.

[blazing carbon]

Responding to their question that "vous is just formal tu"

[silent hollow]

That makes sense. ^^

Something Courtney said might apply here: Duolingo essentially uses « vous » as a plural always because it tries to be informal and conversational so this might be why you got flagged

[blazing carbon]

I'm sure it was just the typo
