"Ela vai ao supermercado pela nona vez."

Translation: She goes to the supermarket for the ninth time.

She should really make a list next time.

Very irresponsible behaviour during this covid-19 pandemic.

It does! But only cardinal numbers (plain numbers)

[NguyenTanBuu]

Omg =)))) I can't stop laughing

[KZONE88]

I put ''9th" instead of ''ninth'', and it was marked incorrect.

[Paulenrique]

Not sure if duolingo recognize numbers instead of writing them.

[DREDWARD]

She goes to the supermarket nine times??? POR Que não???

[lukyo10]

Just because when you say "nine times" you are just counting, speciyfing the quantity of times she has gone to the supermarket. However, the context here is different. It's something more like "It's the ninth time she goes to the supermarket".

[JaneilsonHD]

I'm asking the same!

[Qamar-ud-Din]

Dredward, she goes to the supermarket nine times = Ela vai ao supermercado nove vezes.

I hate Thanksgiving.

[GScottOliver]

I know, right? There's always that one more thing you forgot!

[scraff]

Why is this Nona Vez and not Nono Vez? What is the rule here?

[amaurySomething]

Adjectives follow the Gender of the Nouns in Portuguese. The noun VEZ is feminine (uma vez) , so the adjective nono (masculine) becomes nonA (feminine).

[ValGringaDaGema]

the translation is "she is going", I wrote "she will go"....wouldn't "she is going" be "ele está indo"? we wouldn't say ela vai ir, so I assumed ela vai is will go...

[JaneilsonHD]

"She will go" would be "Ela irá". "Vai" may be used as present or as future. Mostly of the time is implicit what is the time, but when is not indicative of time is probably present.

[PRodstein]

I think She goes is more literal here than She is going, btw

[KmRmn]

It's a real challenge translating into present tense in English, since you'd hardly ever say it. I started imagining it was on a list of things that happened a few days ago, but in real life you'd almost always say "She's going to the grocery store for the ninth time." (They must say the word "supermarket" somewhere, but not much here in Canada.)

[KTKee-EnglishEng]

Is 'for the' always pela/pelo?

[Paulenrique]

no, as you'll see, they may assume different meanings...

[amaurySomething]

This is true when we are dealing with SINGULAR NOUNS. With plural nouns just add an S: pelas/pelos
