"It is a great loss for the Argentinian people."

Translation: Es una gran pérdida para el pueblo Argentino.

[Desert811269]

Why does "el pueblo Argentino" mean the Argentine people and not the Argentine town?

[IwAcGsY7]

Can't understand why "la gente de Argentina" not accepted to mean "Argentinian people". Can any one enlighten me please?

[Bruce768614]

[TimOConnor13]

[xJPRx]

today they didn't accept "la gente argentina". corrected gente to pueblo. 9/16/19

[HirokoKura2]

"la gente argentina" is not accepted today

[JacobLee236644]

It was for me 6/1/20. There was likely another mistake.

[KG2hWGZq]

What about "es una perdida grande para las personas Argentinas"?

[JacobLee236644]

The use of 'gran' before the noun is preferred for the definition=great.

[skyview1211]

It accepted this for me today. I don't like using "pueblo" it sounds like a town to me, not people.
Es una gran pérdida para la gente argentina.

¿Por qué se capitaliza la palabra "argentino"? En español, el nombres de paises se capitaliza. Esta palabra es un adjectivo.

[Kitchendesigner]

Lots of questions here and it looks like help is needed! Duo excepted "Es una gran perdida para la gente de Argentina". But I wonder:

Would "perdida grande" be correct?
Does "pueblo" mean "people" here?

Experts....your comments please!?

Could you use gente de Argentino instead of pueblo Argentino? Dick Shipley

[AmineHadji1]

gente de Argentino is grammatically incorrect. There is no place called Argentino. You can say gente de Argentina = people from Argentina, but it's not what is asked in this exercise. You can also say gente Argentina = Argentinian people (people here is the pluriel of person). Remember that gente is a feminine noun, so it must be followed by feminine adjective.

[RichardShi921865]

Thanks! I appreciate your help.

[GaryZimmer1]

las islas malvinas son inglesas

[fedor-A-learner]

[pbstarner]

Pueblo is town.

[kingtaoist1]

is 'perdida' always in feminine form? can i change it to musculine?

[Bruce768614]

Yes--that is the word for loss. And no, you cannot change the gender of most Spanish words---a few but not this one.

Why is it "gran pérdida" and not "pérdida gran"? I thought adjectives come after the noun?

[jkk8043]

I came across this a while ago..."grande" is one of those adjectives that actually changes meaning if it's before or after the noun. If you say "pérdida grande", it means "large loss", while "gran pérdida" means "great loss".
