"É um indivíduo."

Translation: It is an individual.

[deactivated user]

Grammatically It is an individual is correct, but without further context, it's not something that is usually said in English. So, I think it's wrong.

Anybody agree ?

[shellyniks]

Yes, grammatically it's not a great example

[jyonporru]

Yes, i agree. It is individual makes sense, or it is one of a kind. That would make it an adverb though.

[robertet]

Could "he/she is an individual" also be correct?

[connal]

I wrote 'He is...' and it was correct

[erudis]

Sure, if it's an individual, it's probably a he or she anyway. Although in Portuguese it's more common to hide the subject of the third person when you mean "it".

Why "indivíduo" is not pronounced as "indivídu-oo"?

[Murilo_de_Souza]

There is more than one pronunciation for this word across the Portuguese-Speaking countries.

[PhilipCask]

So you can lose another heart for pronouncing it incorrectly?

[DaveGarrar]

how do you know if é is 'it' or 'he'?

[Henrietta915154]

'He is an individual' or 'it is individual ' or 'it is one of a kind ' or 'it is an individual thing / choice / preference' would all read OK in British English.
'It is an individual' sound wrong in British English. 'An individual' normally means one person, which can't be an 'it'
