    Why shouldn't it be "the pretty women" ? Or would that be הנשים היפות?

        Ahhh, so if the noun is definite, then the adjective needs to be definite too!

              The beautiful women was also rejected. Is יפות not beautiful and pretty?

                  Ok so יפות and יפה have been translated as "beautiful" throughout all these lessons - all of a sudden i am wrong and its now translated as "pretty"??? Crazy. Besides, both english words mean basically tge same thing.
