"They are not students."

Translation: 他们不是学生。

[James791642]

Can you say 学生们?

[JoshuaKrue3]

Seconded. Where does the pluralisation stop?

[Blahbleh_]

You can. Though , to me(lived in Taiwan for 9 years), "學生們" (in traditional Chinese) sounds like you're saying "fellow students",(with "fellow" connotation coming from 們) , and so it might be just a little friendly/informal.

isnt this "these girls are not students"?

[bjoerges]

No， that would be 她们. For all male or mixed groups, you can use 他们

[Oliver482382]

Oh, okay! Thank you.

[Oliver482382]

Feeling silly now. I got it wrong second time round.

[LeChatParle]

他 is "he", 她们 would be feminine

[MikeGienge]

他 is male while 她 is female (the radical 女 means woman). When referring to a mixed gender group the male form is used hence 他们. Technically 她们 can be used but it implies the group is all female.

[ColoPinkLemurs]

Yeah it does but not really. In writing youre technically correct but not necessarily when speaking. The pronounciation for the male "they" (他) and the female "they" (她) [and the "it" (它) I think] is actually the same. The literal translation for "these girls are not students" is 这些女孩不是学生。

[PekkaHuhtala]

That "tā men" is for male third plural. The other "tā men" is for female third plural.

[laeckphaettn]

No, the "female they" would be 她们.

[ZhiTaNLi]

I have answered correctly but app thinks that it is not.

[ElianNight]

If that happens again remind yourself to send a message to Duolingo to correct the error

[LilMsTangent]

I've had the same issue.

[Jeruzy1]

Me too

[todd406116]

What is wrong . I keep getting the correct answer but it says im wrong

[todd406116]

I keep getting the same correct answer as the game.

[Asul00]

Why is 他们不学生 incorrect?

[DiscipulusKiwius]

You want to say "is not." "bushi"

The sentence as you provided you have "bu" ("not"), but no "shi" ("is") after it.

[Chermain.eee]

You are basically saying "They not students" instead of "They are not students".

[Stormi653746]

That is exactly what I used!

[KateRobins22118]

The answer i wrote looks the same as the feedback.

[nicolas213835]

Hey duolingo hey about you anwser why a student wrong?
Rather than going straight to the next question

[Tristan10178]

When do you use "是” and when do you use "很”
