"He is handsome."

Translation: On je hezký.

[blflame]

I wrote, "On je krasný." Is it wrong?

[ValaCZE]

Because krásný is too strong for handsome.

[HanaHrn]

I don't think so. Krásný is an appropriate expression for handsome. What would be then the suitable translation for krásný?

[Katja-z]

"krásny" would be "beautiful".

(My phone won't do the proper mark for the "y")

Pritazlivy?

[VladaFu]

attractive

[Vlad_Lesnievski]

Wouldn't be "pohledný" a more suitable translation for this?

[VladaFu]

This question makes little sense because the Czech sentence is the original and the English one the translation. And pohledný simply isn't a word taught in this course.

But you can ask a different question: Should "On je pohledný." be accepted here? And the answer is yes, it is accepted. But I do not think it is any better. Probably closer to "good-looking", which is accepted in the reverse exercise as well.

is this correct?
to je hezky

[ValaCZE]

No, he=on, not "to".

[JmonePri]

thank you

Why it isn't "He is pretty"?

[VladaFu]

"He is pretty" is accepted. However, we often receive reports with typos or simple errors like (actual copies from the Incubator): "he is a pretty" "it is pretty" "Hi is pretty"

It is important to double-check your answer and if it indeed should have been accepted, use the report button.
