Notebook, Discussions and Answers

What is italki Answer?

On italki Answers, you can ask questions and answer other learner's questions about language learning. 

When you ask a question, you will be able to add additional information to clarify your question, but you cannot edit your original question. While the question is still open (i.e. within 14 days of initially being asked, with no ‘best answer’ having been chosen), respondents can edit their answer, which can help them answer more accurately. 

You may not delete your answer once it is posted, so please double check before posting!

italki Answers is for language related questions only, so please don't ask any questions that involve personal information, or personal questions about relationships, dating, religion, politics, or social issues.
