"I think that the yellow one is prettier."

Translation: Creo que la amarilla es más bonita.

[sprkr]

Whatever "the yellow one" is, it's apparently something grammatically feminine.

I was just told that "creo que el amarillo es más bonito" is an incorrect translation of the English. (Reported.)

[Aprigraha]

Creo que el amarillo es mas bonito. marked correct 10/10/19

[mitaine56]

aprigraha- más

[mitaine56]

sprkr- you had the choice to use both, masculine and feminine, without context both are accepted, always

[Molene18]

Mine wasn't accepted on Duo

[mitaine56]

molene- maybe you made another mistake

[TykaBooker]

Then you had an error somewhere in your sentence.

[Julian452932]

Yeah, it shouldn't matter what it is. Just send the report so they can fix it.

[mitaine56]

sprkr- it isn't

[Melodie885898]

Cannot 'pienso' also be correct? If not, why not?

[dakorf]

Pensar ( yo pienso) should be correct as well, even though creer (yo creo) fits better.
Creer is more of an oppinion and is literally 'to believe'.
pensar is literally thinking with your brain about something.

So both words fit, but in this sentence creer is preferred since its clearly an opinion.

I hope this helps.

[mitaine56]

melodie- my answer was pienso and was accepted

'Creo que el amarillo es más bonito' marked correct 2nd Jul 19.

[TykaBooker]

It is accepted now.

[Adan800734]

"Yo pienso que la una amarilla es mas bonita" & "Creo que la una amarilla es mas bonita". Are these alternatives acceptable?

[Janne_G_Pirinen]

I might try "Yo pienso que la amarilla es más bonita" & "Creo que la amarilla es más bonita".

[Adan800734]

I know those are acceptable because that's what I originally input. I want to know if adding "una" before amarilla is just as acceptable.

[TykaBooker]

No. That would translate to "the a yellow one".

[Adan800734]

What about "uno"?

[TykaBooker]

No. "La amarilla" or "el amarillo" translates to "the yellow one" in this sentence.

[Molene18]

I put amarillo and bonito - it was marked wrong. Surely it's just as correct as long as I was consistent?

[TykaBooker]

You had an error somewhere in your sentence. Masculine and feminine are both accepted.

[Ton448147]

Can't you use "Me parece que..."?

[Rashid676743]

This damn language is weird, if it isn't correct tell us why, how are we suppose to know it is Amarilla not Amarillo?

[TykaBooker]

You had an error somewhere because "la amarilla" and "el amarillo" are both accepted.

[FranksThomas]

They didn't specify that is a feminine object.

[TykaBooker]

That's why "la amarilla" and "el amarillo" are both accepted.

[harts66]

Why can't it be esta mas bonita

[NicholasM.15]

Short answer

You need to use "es" instead of "está" because it is a long-lasting attribute.

Long answer

"Estar" is usually used for adjectives that can change in the moment. This includes "suci@". They also represent your feelings, like "felíz" and "triste". Remember: where you are and how you feel, always use "estar".

"Ser" is used for adjectives that indicate a long-lasting attribute, like "bonit@". They could change in around 10 years or so, or not at all. Think of these as traits that you naturally have. They define what you are.
