"El este un om de acțiune."

Translation: He is a man of action.

[Bert996208]

I think it's just to show us the other meaning of "acțiune"? As a translation for stockbroker I only found "agent de bursă" or "agent de schimb". "acționar" = shareholder.

How about "He is an Action Man"?

It made me laugh a bit, grab a Lingot! :)

[IveNoDamnIdea]

It has nothing to do with economy here. This expression just means "man of action".

[Lacusta]

If 'acțiune' also means shares why in this case dose 'om de acțiune' not mean stock broker?

[Lixmage]

If it really means a man of action there is little point in it being in this lesson on economics. So I am sure it must mean stockbroker too.

[Rosie-L]

Or 'shareholder'? Or perhaps just a quirk of Duolingo - emphasising that there is another meaning of 'actiune'?

When do you use om vs bărbat?

[MrMirai]

Om / pl. Oameni is used for "human" or man as in "mankind". As opposed to bărbat which is specifically used for men.

Oameni can both mean femeii and bărbați.

[Glenn_ski]

So "Ea este un om de actiune" is also OK?

[186.Eb4to1LJgnhF]

"Ea este o femeie de actiune" would sound odd.

"We are men of action. Lies do not become us."
