"The ninth man is the oldest."

Translation: Al nouălea bărbat este cel mai bătrân.

[bagolytom]

I think he means something like "Al noualea barbat este cel mai vechi" is incorrect if you try as well. (even tho it lists as a correct answer if you hover over the sentence)

[Josh.Ley]

Old = bătrân (people)

Old = vechi (non people)

[AndrewRubi611844]

what is the difference between noua and nouălea?

[Josh.Ley]

Ordinal numbers with singular nouns:

A noua + feminine

Al nouălea + masculine

[GrKHgm4p]

I think noua is for female and nouălea is for male - but I am pretty new to Romanian and my native language doesn't have gender so it's something I find hard

Why not all?

[relox84]

What do you mean ?

[Georg979788]

I was wondering why not all answers ( of the three given ones) are correct.

[relox84]

We can't know what the three answers you had were.

[Georg979788]

Yeah :-/ thanks anyway for the quick response :)

Have we learned "bătrân"yet? I don't remember coming across it
