"One student, two students, three students"

Translation: Один студент, два студенти, три студенти

[Ammon_Hasson]

When do you use дві vs два?

[Tania030]

"дві" is for female plural, "два" is for male plural :)

[Jan161375]

They did not specify 2 "female " students, yet said it was a typo that i put дві студенти

[Raykah21]

It is because дві is plural female - дві студентки or два студенти.

[Bysmerian]

Same here.

What's the difference between студенти and студентки?

[deniko]

"Студенти" is a more general term. It could refer to a group of male students, or just a group of students you don't know the gender of (mixed group, for example).

"Студентки" is a gender specific term, it refers to female students only.

[Halyna_ua]

Студенти we can say about both sexs (males and females (in the case only about males)). Студентки, only about females. Plural of course

[martin4546]

Студентки іs female students
Студенти іs male students

[DADDY6.9]

But in English the gender is not specified, so why the translation asks for it

[Daniel789921]

"Студенткa" and "Студентки" are given as correct translations for "student" and "students". Without anything more specific, how can we know which answers Duolingo expects from us?

[deniko]

"студентки" is the plural form of "студентка", but it's also the single accusative case of "студентка", that's why you see it in the hint for "student"

The student is here - Студентка тут

The student is not here - Студентки тут немає

As you can see, depending on the Ukrainian sentence structure you can sometimes translate "student" as студентка, and sometimes as "студентки"

[Alex2537]

"Студентки" is the genitive case of "студентка", not accusative (accusative is студентку)

Thank you Daniel789921, that clears up this conversation nicely!
