"Alte fete sunt mai frumoase decât a ta."

Translation: Other girls are more beautiful than yours.

[kendricbeachey]

This isn't nice :-(

[Deisi92]

As a German this sounds contradictory to me, because „alte fete” sounds in German like „alte Fette” which means „old fat ones”. xD

[DornenEngel]

and şaisprezece sounds like a really ❤❤❤❤❤❤ number for german ears :-)

Duolingo is salty this morning

[PuengiRaina]

Ooo burn.... Lol

[Multi0Lingual4]

Shouldn't it be "Other girls are more beautiful than you?"

[JamesTWils]

I was assuming the speaker was talking either to a father or a pimp, either of which sounds a bit skeevy.

[Multi0Lingual4]

Ah! I see where you're coming from. Okay, I didn't look at it that way. Thank you!

[TJWphd]

I'm willing to bet "our girls" means "our daughters," same as in every other Romance language I know.

[JamesTWils]

In Catalan, the word for daughter is filla (clearly from the same source as girl in other languages), but the word for girl is nena. I don't remember whether la meva nena would be understood as my daughter or my girlfriend.

[TJWphd]

Interesting! Thank You!

[JamesTWils]

You can thank Duolingo Catalan.

[fatacutoba]

In Romanian, "fată" means "girl" and "fiică" means daughter, so there is a difference. (Non-native speaker here)

[LangAddict]

"than you" would be "decât tine", while "than yours" is "decât a ta". Confusing? Yes. :)

[Serendipous]

Spot on, mate.

[JackBrenna3]

Thank you. I came to the comments specifically for this!

[MaartenStaa]

That would be "Alte fete sunt mai frumoase decât tine.", if I'm not mistaken.

[Multi0Lingual4]

Okay, thanks for the clarification.

[EugeniaPet10]

here is the translation Other girls are more beautiful than your (only girl), be friendly form. "decit tine" more like "then you".

[Mapka15]

Why is "a ta" not in plural form? (Ale tale?)

[MsGeorgia]

"A ta" is for singular, "ale tale" for plural. If you're talking to a man who has only one daughter with the specified qualifier you should use the former. For masculine nouns, the corresponding forms are "al tău" and "ai tăi", respectively.

So many personal comments on this course: many more than on others.

[iiai]

Moderators (volunteers) needed. Would you like to become? Do you have 2-3 hours a week?

[iiai]

The TTS speaker say that as a question and it is not.

[Lizzie334325]

it is rare to say in english to say "other girls are more beautiful than you" we would more likely say "other girls are prettier than you"

[DornenEngel]

than yours :-)
I guess it is just a polite way to say: Your girlfriend is ugly.

[water_color]

Well, it doesn't sound polite at all anyway

[smorbruh]

That wasn't very nice of you ;/

[joel113201]

How to get a slap from someone in romania ,,lol ,,not a phrase i will be saying to anyone anytime soon ,,it did make me chuckle though ,which was the point ,i think to help remember the words

[Jennifer206918]

This is sexist.

[water_color]

Well, almost everything in the world is sexist, if you think about it; then what?
