[xerostomus]

Yes i was puzzled too. :-)

[a.ak.t.j]

I guess you're talking about the duolingo mascot. Right?

[airelibre]

דואו הינשוף.

[kelmit]

Is it wrong to translate this as "The owl's color is green"? Is it that I'm changing the emphasis of the sentence if I do so?

[BezalelP]

You are changing the focus from the color to the owl.
The owl's color is green = לינשוף יש צבע ירוק

[gsazbon]

Your phrase will be more literary translate as: The owl has green color, no?

[jarrettph]

Yeah.

[airelibre]

It's fine.

[Elias103541]

הוא דואו! שלום, ינשוק ירוק.

[TeribleT]

This is the color of the owl (he's) green, why isn't it (it's) green?

[tsuj1g1r1]

The Hebrew copula (which translates to verb "to be" in English) is one of the third person pronouns הוא היא הם הן, as you indicated in this discussion (https://forum.duolingo.com/comment/16271631). Let's not forget that Hebrew doesn't have a neuter gender, just masculine and feminine. זה translates to "it" sometimes (especially when it's a dummy pronoun that doesn't refer to anything in particular), but the correspondence is not full.

Ha-tseva shel yenshoof yarok.
Is this not correct ? Why the sentence has הוא ?

[Kingofearth23]

The color of the owl green?

[rhotemple]

I think the hebrew is weird i get the same sentence like 10 times.

[TimonMarek]

Is green used as a noun here?

צבה (tzeva) sounds funny in Polish, because it looks like "cewa", a hypothetical augmentative of the word "cewka" ("coil" or "urethra").
