"The woman has a snake and a turtle."

Translation: Femeia are un șarpe și o broască țestoasă.

[Jacqui883652]

Why can you select just testoasa and be correct not broasca testoasa

[agnesiafleur]

Why does "turtle" translate to two words? I'm curious because we were just thrown these words and not explain how it came to be.

[Dick654716]

I get as the "right solution" "Femeia are un șarpe și o țestoasă" without "broasca".
None of my dictionaries, among them the DEX, mentions that țestoasă can be used instead of broasca țestoasă so I have good reasons to assume that the given solution is wrong

[amandatbrowne]

Why is it in sarpe?

[Andrei42069]

do you mean un
if you do it is un because șarpe is a masculine word so you use un

[amandatbrowne]

Thank you sorry but Im still confused do you mean it’s neutral and to be used as
masculine?

[MozJames]

The word itself is masculine. I don't think it'd change if it was a female snake; șarpe just is a masculine word.

I'll just stick with saying turtle!
