Would "un om" also work?

[RobBeckett]

It does. ☺

[Becca400756]

It keeps telling me to pay attention to my accents... But I don't have accents available on my keyboard. Any suggestions?

[RobBeckett]

If you are using an Android phone it is easy to install a Romanian keyboard. If you are using a computer, Duolingo provides on-screen buttons for ă, â, î, ş, and ț.

You can click on the letters ăîșțâ.

For English keyboard: Hold your finger on the latter that is meant to have an accent, e.g. "e", and then it will have a popup with all sorts variations for this letter - just tap the one you need.

What the's difference between "un bărbat" and "un om" ?

DuoLingo just casually threw "un om" in as an answer despite never showing me this word before!
