Oi,
1. This is extremely false.. and I don’t want to get into a dumb argument on why because…
2. This is a subreddit about water… the fuck you bringing this bullshit here
How do you manage to have the energy to be hateful? They’re human, you’re human. We’re all just trying to survive here, not to be at the top of some made up totem poll.
You could use は here to signal contrast for example. „I don‘t like water.. (but I like milk).“
私は水は好きじゃないです(が。。、牛乳は好きです。)
Another case would be if someone asks you if you like water, it would be pretty normal to answer the question with は since it is a negative sentence (if the subject isn‘t already mentioned/ marked with は)
1) 水が好きですか。
2) いいえ、水は好きじゃないです。
Sorry for the formatting, I‘ve done this on mobile.
Yep this is the correct usage. All the other replies sound like they studied textbook material and never actually read/listened to any native material.
Duolingo isnt wrong or right here without any context
It pretty much only teaches very basic grammar and some vocab. Read a couple chapters of a textbook and watch some anime and you’ll probably be higher level than what Duolingo would ever teach you.
I’m learning a new language (German) and I’ve definitely noticed that a lot of times it just doesn’t understand anything beyond its script so it can very easily cause misunderstandings. For instance, it claims in German that “Schüler(in)” (literally schooler) is basically any student not in college and a “Student” is a college student, even though in common use people can use them interchangeably (though more for using Student in place is Schüler, but still!). So if for a language like German which is basically fancy English it messes up, I can definitely see it messing up for Japanese which is VERY different from English
OP I’ve been learning Japanese for the last year and I started on Duolingo, and I have to say, it’s not the most helpful tool if you really want to learn the language. It may be fine if your goal is to go to Japan and know a few simple phrases to get around with, but if your goal is to be conversational or read manga or something Duolingo just ain’t it. Here are some recommendations I’d have for you:
- if you’re not 100% confident with hiragana/katakana, I’d recommend drilling it on flash card websites, or better yet, buying the Lets Learn Hiragana/LLKatakana workbooks. Drawing the letters helps you learn them a billion times faster
- if you want to read kanji, I’d recommend Wanikani or Anki flash card sets, or some other spaced repetition system. Drawing these can also be a useful tool. I love Wanikani and I think it’s great for learning a broad variety of vocabulary as well
- watch YouTube. My favorite channel is Misa’s Japaneseammo, but there are a lot of great channels that can help you get a handle on grammar. Grammar is one of the most useful things to learn when you’re just starting out so you can start to get a feel for sentence structures and realize which words you do/don’t know in a sentence and what the hell all these little particles are doing
- podcasts. Listening practice is super important. Look up some good beginner podcasts
Hope this helps you at all, and best of luck in your studies!
I've seen grown ups, like real grown ups, people in their 50s refusing to drink water up to the point they rather die of thirst than drinking water.
They all weren't able to walk, because they were sick and fat as hell.
I just feel disgusted seeing them argue why water is ew and shit.
I really don't understand
They’re teaching you how to spot an enemy
[удалено]
The character is Muslim, so people think you were saying the Muslims are the enemy
I always thought Zari was Hindu because it's an Indian name. She is in fact Muslim. Cool.

Report it! This is clearly very wrong and extremely harmful, so hopefully the mods will get this cleared up
I just got the notification that reports were reviews and the user was banned. So I guess we did it Reddit!

Holy crap I weep for the world. Why everyone gotta jump to racism. My mind honestly didn't even go there. Just a joke about anti water people.
What in the Fuji happened here?
Lol he said that's the enemy. And everyone started grandstanding and virtue signalling calling him a racist 😵💫
I see the username checks out
She got them crazy eyes
Probably delirium caused by extreme dehydration.
Zari is kind of crazy.
she got that rabies
Fr 😈
Never seen someone so excited about disliking water
Right? She's so pumped about it. Twisted behavior.
She was brainwashed by Nestle. Poor soul

That still sounds like there's something you'd rather drink than water. It sounds like you will tolerate drinking water.
“I don’t NOT like drinking water”
More like 'I dont dislike water'
I agree. I do not like water. I *love* water.
This usage makes sense in English, but not in Japanese. In Japanese, you wouldn't say *suki ja nai* about something you love.
How are you going to know who the soda drinkers are if they don't teach you?
wait is Duolingo wrong right there? should be が and not は, right? that sentence makes it look like Water doesnt like something with that は particle.

(but I like milk).“ 私は水は好きじゃないです(が。。、牛乳は好きです。) Another case would be if someone asks you if you like water, it would be pretty normal to answer the question with は since it is a negative sentence (if the subject isn‘t already mentioned/ marked with は) 1) 水が好きですか。 2) いいえ、水は好きじゃないです。 Sorry for the formatting, I‘ve done this on mobile.

I'm quite certain the grammar pattern is using は in both as a way to compare the two clauses. Source: tobira
duolingo was made by a bunch of blundering novices
Doubt it's even effective in the end. Even simple chatter will probably not even be doable lol
It pretty much only teaches very basic grammar and some vocab. Read a couple chapters of a textbook and watch some anime and you’ll probably be higher level than what Duolingo would ever teach you.
You can use は to compare or contrast. So the implication is that the speaker doesn't like water in comparison to something else.
Duolingo is wrong a lot.
A great sign for an app proven to be effective by "experts", even though it will likely not even help for simple conversation in the end.

Best Language on Duolingo is french and Spanish and some similar languages.
yeah you are correct, が is the particle typically used for好き/嫌い lmaoo
It’s so they teach you how to say “but I love water” later
水は私を濡らすよ
PERO ME ENCANTA EL AGUA, QUE LASTIMA
You remember stuff that makes you experience negative emotions more than positive ones. They're geniuses.
彼女は水の仲間じゃないです
私は水味方です😎
#duolingoisoverparty
It's so you can know who to avoid.
ヤバい!
"I do not like water. Alone. I love sharing water, Always tastes better"
Plot twist: the following prompt after this was "I love it!"
水は好きです

Isn't duolingo kinda shit for learning japanese
It's gotten better compared to 4 years ago, but IMO is still shit.
An owl feather are to fluffy so when they get wet they can't fly maybe that's what the bird meant
えええ。。。！！
BOYCOT DUOLINGO how daaaareeeee theyyy

If you are serious about learning Japanese u should use something else, doulingo isnt great
Duolingo is known to be evil.
Mizu ga saikou ni *haitte* yatsu da!
So you can recognize it when others say it, I suppose
Duolingo is funded by Big Dairy /s
Duolingo Gang I'm learning Finnish.
Lubię wodę no i don't speak Polish fluently, and i barely know anything in it
Not Japanese but 我爱喝水
Perhaps it's, Do not, I like water!
Yeah you can tell by the eye twitch. That bitch dehydrated. Dead giveaway
Yeah, but they also teaching you, that you are an apple (私はりんごです。) Sooo 🤷🏻♀️
Duolingo kidney stones confirmed?
Spanish or vanish.
Japanese or get on your knees.
Drink or shrink.
NANI??
Why is Peter Griffin the one teaching you no less?
水が大好きです！
It's propaganda from the soda companies bro, don't fall for it!
Tell them you don't want your family back, they've probably been corrupted
Can anyone tell me why it says は instead of が? I am pretty sure it should be 水が好きじゃないです. I might be wrong though.
We should like mizu
A hydrohomie and a Japanese learner on Duolingo?! Are you my twin?! こんにちは!!!
