"The suitcase belongs to the tall passenger."

Translation: Geamantanul este al pasagerei înalte.

[GloriaLuisetto]

why not "valiza este al pasagerului înalt"?

[Estel785882]

I think the problem is that "Valiza" is feminine and "al" is masculine. If you use "Geamantanul", then you need "al" in the second part of the sentence, but if you use "Valiza", then you need "a" in the second part of the sentence.

(I just got this wrong twice myself and finally figured out that that's probably my error.)

EDIT: And now I've confirmed that "valiza este a pasagerului înalt" is accepted.

[WarsawWill]

Thanks for that. I made the same mistake, but now, Bingo, "valiza" accepted. Have a lingot :)

[Midax]

Because it is a female passenger - your variant is correct too.

[mihaicaulea]

Suitcase nu poate fi și "valiza"?

[son_o]

Ba da, asa cum pasager poate fi si calator.

[KevinSmith777042]

Is it possible to make a sentence constructed with "Valiza apartine...?

[Andrzej983613]

Why not al pasagerului inalt? Is it obvous here that we are talking about a woman passenger and a male passenger? If so, why is that?

[DornenEngel]

No it is not obvious in the English language.
If you want to point out the gender of the passenger you would likely talk about a lady passenger or a female passenger.

And since you are learning German too, it is the same here:

Der Koffer des großen Passagiers -masc.

Der Koffer der großen Passagierin -fem.

[DornenEngel]

geamantanul e al pasagerului înalt works now. Just checked it.

[Hi_From_Tom]

Can someone tell me why it is "pasagerei înalte", not "pasagerei înaltă"?

[Midax]

Because the noun is in the genitive case. The adjective needs to have the same form as the noun.
