"Tvá žena je hezká."

Translation: Your wife is pretty.

[ShereeWall1]

Doesnt "heska" mean "nice" too? Why is "Your wife is nice" wrong?

[Trofaste]

Only with things, not with people. It's more about external qualities (looks), while "nice" with people is about internal qualities (character, personality).

[FrankRiswick]

I tried handsome, but it wasn't accepted

[Fabianasas]

I dont understand zena is wife? I thought manzelka was wife! And zena woman, isn't it?

[Kristine466318]

It is the same in French, the same word "femme" means a woman or a wife, depending on the context.

[endless_sleeper]

You're correct, however the word "žena" when used with a personal pronoun often means 'my/your... wife'.

[FQGfV]

Why is "Your wife is attractive" not accepted? To my language sense, "pretty" applies mainly to children and adolescents, "attractive" more to adults.

[VladaFu]

pretty applies to anyone

attractive - atraktivní, přitažlivá

[Kristine466318]

Good-looking may be accepted.

[VladaFu]

It indeed is.

[horsthartm2]

"Your wife is beautiful" should be accepted. To my knowledge hezk(ý,á,é) means either "nice" or "beautiful". Am I wrong?

[BoneheadBass]

"Beautiful" is stronger than "pretty." Here, that would be krásná. The course is very consistent in making this distinction.
