"Το παιδί έχει πει ότι θέλει ένα φρούτο."

Translation: The child has said that it wants a fruit.

[Reserve81]

Yes, child is neuter in Greek, but not in English. We cannot refer to a child in English as 'it' so you need to allow for either 'he' or 'she' as correct answers.

[fionagirl6]

Can you please change to accept "he" or "she" instead of "it". "It" is not the appropriate pronoun for a child in English.

[Goren17]

Yeah, or at the very least accept all three, plus maybe singular they as well.

"The child has said that he wants a fruit" was marked incorrect.
The expected answer is "The child has said that it wants a fruit."

It isn't natural English to refer to a child as 'it'. Please can this be amended to accept either 'he', 'she' or 'they' instead. Thanks

I think it should always be "a piece of fruit".

Thanks!

We do not refer to a child as "it" in English, unless perhaps asking about the sex. [What is it? Is it a boy or a girl?] This should be fixed. I agree with Reserve81!

[Merven7]

"a fruit" is not good English though it may be in Greek. "Some fruit" should be accepted.

[G.Georgopoulos]

Someone added "_fruit" on its own at some point, so that's relatively ok compared to "some" which would require "μερικά" as its translation.

[sphinx108]

Or they, which is a gender neuter way of saying it.

[Valois22]

still not fixed "he" or "she" as correct answer???

[G.Georgopoulos]

Added!

[isadoros]

I guess one could use 'it' if they don't like the child and want to dehumanize it otherwise it should have a gender.

[PatrykTara]

Wouldn't it be more proper in English grammar if the translation was: "The child has said that it wanted a fruit" as it is reported speech?

[lidia.dovg]

Child it?

[G.Georgopoulos]

"He/She/They" are all accepted.
