"Nu e a unsprezecea."

Translation: She is not the eleventh.

[xavi75724]

It must be femenin because of the first "a".

Masculin would be

Nu e al unsprecezelea

[Lassi492061]

Do others hear the rapid version like this: "Mea unsprezecea"?

[qizwiz]

What about this sentence tells me it's feminine? why can't it be "unsprezecelea"

[muel2002]

I think as the ordinal number is feminine, it must be referring to something feminine

[KevinSmith777042]

New voice sounds like Nu am unsprezecea due to poor sound file cropping i think...

[MaryBaliton]

why this sentence look like feminine? Please explain if you don't mind..Thank you

[Motanu11]

I answered: It is not eleventh. (as if to answer the question, "Isn't your song eleventh on the top 40?") " It is not [the] eleventh?"

Why is "the" required? ...

[Rick476691]

It shouldn't be. The sentence is ok in English with or without 'the'. I'm a native British English speaker.

[muel2002]

I think as the form is feminine, it must be referring to something feminine, hence 'she'.

Couldn't this sentence be "He's not the 11th"?

[SusieFrisc]

Since the subject of the sentence isn't explicitly identified, you don't know whether it's masculine or feminine until you see "a unsprezecea"-- at that point, the feminine "a" and "unsprezecea" tell you that the subject of the sentence is feminine. "He is not the eleventh" would require the masculine "al" and unsprezecelea"

[Phil406084]

I get that it's feminine. But, couldn't the sentence be referring to a feminine thing (it) rather than to a she?

[186.Eb4to1LJgnhF]

It could. "a unsprezecea lună"
