Let's hope your girl doesn't really live ON the street though...

I translated it as this and it was still accepted :)

[detailaddict]

So what is этой? Prepositional feminine?

[Paul440929]

Yes. https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%D1%8D%D1%82%D0%BE%D1%82#Russian

[alicenahazel]

Does this mean she is homeless or she lives in a house on the street?

[Kundoo]

It can mean either, but the first assumption would be that she lives in a house on the street.

[alicenahazel]

thank you :)

Duolingo uses American English. The common British usage (I think) "she lives in this street" would have, in American English, the implication of homelessness.

[DaudSangar]

it is also correct to say "my girlfriend is living on this street" or "my girl is living on this street"

[Volizione]

I would say yes. "живёт" can mean "lives" and "is living" because Russian makes no distinction between the simple present and the present continuous.

[lulume12]

yeah, moja devocka means both. My girl is less common in english

[dgalster]

An older colloquial usage, perhaps circa 1900-1950, would be girl for girlfriend. To say "my girl" today might mean "my daughter."

[AlexanderYeet]

I translated this wrong and read it as "My girlfriend lives on the street".

[Arinbjrn]
