"The girl has one apple and the boy has two apples."

Translation: Fata are un măr și băiatul are două mere.

[Sarah24942]

If singular apple is masculine (un măr) then why is plural apple feminine (două mere)?

Because this noun, as many designating inanimate objects, is neuter. Watch lovely Nico explaining this gender https://youtu.be/VZWurcR0fuo

[Adle19915]

Și is for "and" and iar is more like "again/more", like i do this și i do that, but i eat this iar that

Dear Duolingo Romanian Course creators, please correct the pronunciation for "mere".

Why is it Fata and not "O fata"?

[sizzlepopb2]

'O fata' means 'a girl'
'Fata' on its own means 'the girl'

[Tygrys_kotem]

No, actually "O fată" means a girl and "fata" means the girl. Definite articles "the" for feminine nouns are appened to the end of the word by adding an -ua, unless the word ends in -ă, in which case the ending is modified as -a. One can't ignore the difference between "ă" and "a".

[ASP_m]

I have the same doubt

[LHKC17]

I got this right yet it says I have the wrong accent on "and" ... şi. I typed it exactly as shown.

[sizzlepopb2]

Im confused, it marked me as wrong just because i missed two accents!?

[BjrnLycke]

"Are" or "am"? What's the difference?

[ClarkeORei]

typos! seriously?
