"Eu nu sunt o fată."

Translation: I am not a girl.

[Marinhon]

But why is it wrong to put "i am not a boy" instead of "i am not a girl"?

[iulia.poe]

Because definite articles in Romanian are gender-specific. We use "o" for feminine nouns and "un" for masculine ones, therefore "o fată" was the only correct option.

Thank you!

I was just wondering the same thing...

[nastassssia]

why there is no option for fetiță ?

[EdwardCiurea]

Fetiță would be "little girl". The ending "ță" in this case is a diminutive suffix added to "fată" to make it "smaller". I hope that helps.

[EmmaMitche89062]

Thanks, this is a new word for me.

what is the difference between "o" and "un"

[EdwardCiurea]

When the noun is in singular, "o" is for feminine noun genders and "un" is for masculine and neutral noun genders.
O fată - două fete; Un băiat - doi băieți; Un lucru - două lucruri
(A girl - two girls; A boy - two boys; A thing - two things)

Duolingo said that if i put "I'm not a girl" its wrong, because it's supposed to say: "I AM not a girl". Does it make any difference here?

[Wildspeck1]

this is true for me (age 11)

[narkop___]

okay but why did you need to put your age?

[Roberta719656]

Thanks Edward for your help
