When to use студентса vs ученица?

[PavelAntropov]

"Студент" in Russian is a student of a university. "Ученик" is a student in a broad sense

[marge255]

They don't offer the option of школница, but the English is ambiguous.

[PavelAntropov]

So you have to use "ученица" that is ambiguous too :) "школьница" means "school student", "ученица" is more like "student" itself

[DylPickle2]

Is there a difference between ученица and ученик?

[piguy3]

Whether it's a girl or a boy

[tim803065]

Could you also say 'эта ученика моя сестра'?

[piguy3]

It'd be "ученица." "Ученика" is the genitive or accusative form of "ученик."

[Koso92_]

Why isn't it "Эта студентка - моей сестра" since sister isn't nominative?

[susanashe]

please will someone tell me the difference between студент and ученицы Is one a schoolchild and the other a university student ? If so which is which?

[Vale422499]

Permanent change in the answer to translate "student", confusing and frustrating.

[dimitriosk]

ученица was not in the word bank, only ученицы. Ученицы was accepted as a typo, I now see the reason is because it wants us to pick студентка because it has the correct declension whereas ученицы does not.

[MichaelHar987111]

учиника is the same as студентка for the purposes of this sentence as there is no context available whereby the type of student can be discerned. Therefore Duo should allow the interchange of these words and grant points accordingly.
