"This is a truck."

Translation: זאת משאית.

[harlandski]

So זה for masculine nouns and זאת or זו for feminine nouns, is that right?

[AlmogL]

Correct.

[MooseHotel]

Could you explain the difference between זאת and זו?

[AlmogL]

The only difference is that זו is more formal.

[Suzu-Kaguya]

Are there formal forms for masculine and feminine?

[danny912421]

Just זו, which is feminine. It is pronounced "zo".

[JayStanton]

זו
is rarely used in modern Hebrew

[Suzu-Kaguya]

How is זו pronounced?

[dieprinzessin]

a 'she' truck :D

[puppyluv6]

Too bad there isn't any such thing as a 'he' truck.

[MicahAguirre]

What's the pronounciation of זאת?

[harlandski]

"Zot"

[MicahAguirre]

I wrote זות מסית instead of זאת משאית and it accepted it! thanks but why? ^^'

[puppyluv6]

It accepts typos of up to one wrong letter per word; I guess this was considered okay.

[DanielHolb1]

Probably benefit of doubt: "זאת" is pronounced "zot" so intuitively one could spell it as "זות"

[akhansson]

Why is משאית a feminine word? Is it because of the ending on ת-?

[Sun.of.GOD]

I was about to ask the same question, why is it a feminine word?

[DemetriDawn]

Yes many feminine words end in ת (tav). It's a good hint but it's only in general, there are exceptions. For example זית (olive) is a masculine noun.

[8amdani]

how come a truck is feminine? and how can I know?

[MathiaSitruk]

I had a typo, but the correct word wasn't a choice

[craig448817]

Are all veichles feminine?

[danny912421]

No.

[John17990]

It would be really helpful to hear the word spoken as it is uploaded, as with other languages on Duolingo.

[Lanitalynn]

How would you prononce truck?

[DE7E7]

I am confused by this - i understand זה או זאת
זו not זאת ?

[DE7E7]

Ok i see that זו is more formal. Interesting observation on the masc & fem "this" - the Torah must be fem, right? (זאת התורה)
