I wrote that and it said that it was wrong. I even checked with google translate!

"Arrivo nono" works for a male speaker. "Arrivo nona" for a female speaker.

There are sentences during the lessons that should be said by a different gender then...

I seem to have learned my English pretty poorly, as I make an error by imagining that ”come in” and ”enter” were synonymous! I wrote: ”Entro nono”!

Not at all ! 'Entrare' in the meaning of to enter some place is equivalent to 'come in'. But here you arrive at a certain place (ex finish line) as ninth person. So here are the preposition 'in' and the verb melted together. More or less the same in German, Dutch and the other Scandinavian languages. So your English isn't so bad after all !

It's idiomatic ? I do not understand the translation. Arrivo nono? (In a race) Entro al nono? (In a soccer game) Vengo al nono? (posto): for duo only arrivo nona (why only a woman?)
