"Mała spódnica"

Translation: A small skirt

[nevynkolere]

I went for short skirt

[stephenpeckhover]

I said "little", and was marked wrong. Can one say "little skirt", or does that mean something else? ;-)

[rafaelblucena]

I went for small because I knew it already, but that's a fair question.

[sirwootalot]

Same here; why isn't "little skirt" accepted?

[zombie_be_minime]

good question i dont know

[Jellei]

It is, it should have worked.

[conor.raff]

I put "a little skirt" and they marked it correct. Duolingo likes you to use articles in English (I remember reading this at the start), unless the noun is absolutely one that doesn't need an article, e.g. ryby = fish (but note: ryba = a fish / the fish)

[TARDISToni]

Can this mean a miniskirt, or does it mean strictly a skirt that's small in size?

[Jellei]

Hmmm... I think it could potentially mean it, but I don't know if it's an option worth accepting.

[darad0]

short skirt = krotka spódnica?

[Jellei]

Yes, that would be "krótka".

In fact, both "mała" and "krótka" could work better with the diminutive word "spódniczka".

[DenisFell]

In Scotland you might say ..... A wee skirt.

[Jellei]

Well, we usually don't accept such regional words ;)

[DenisFell]

For me spodnica sounds like spodynica. Sorry no accents .

[Jellei]

I don't hear that 'y' sound in the middle that you're referring to...

[GlebZajarski]

I wrote "small skirt" without "a", but for some reason my answer was not accepted. Why?

[Jellei]

It's an accepted answer, it should have worked.
