I wrote κοριτσι for girl. You said it should be κοπελα. What's the difference?
Again, this is a matter of correctly typing answers in.
A lot of people send in reports suggesting that their answer should be accepted, while they use the wrong article. For example, if you type "Η κορίτσι", it will be marked as incorrect, because the correct article is το, and not η.
But Duolingo will suggest that the correct translation is "η κοπέλα" and not "το κορίτσι", because you used the article η, and there is a correct alternative with that article. Long story short, it doesn't mark the article wrong, but the actual noun following the article you picked.
Please make sure that you typed everything in, correctly. ^.^
Because μπλούζα is feminine.
ένα is neuter (or one spelling of masculine accusative), but not feminine.

Ένας and Eνα are for masculine and neutral staff respectively, μια is for feminine staff
When I type "μια", the system says I should have typed "μία" (with an accent)... and vice versa ! This is not very logical.

Because that means 'a shirt', not 'a blouse'. Like we have two different words for something similar but not the same (a woman may wear a shirt, but a man usually wouldn't wear a blouse), so do the Greek.
In Greek a man and a woman can wear μπλούζες & πουκάμισα. Πουκάμισο has buttons. Μπλούζα does not. I suggest that you google the words in greek to see the difference.

As I didn't say that μπλούζα or πουκάμισο could only be worn by a woman or a man respectively, I don't need to look them up. I simply started that words for similar things are still different in both English and Greek.
Oh, sorry, I understood it differently. I didn't mean to show disrespect.
