"C'est aussi sa dernière pièce."

Translation: This is also her last piece.

[Doubleschnell]

Is "latest piece" also an acceptable translation here (i.e. latest work of art)?

[MatthewAnd16]

worked for me

[hskoppek]

I had "This, too, is her last piece" - and believe it should be accepted.

Unfortunately @ruinchristmas deleted both remarks, so it's not clear what @sitesurf is responding to, though it is clear there's some winking and nudging afoot...I'm guessing pièce has some mature connotations, like in English.

More seriously: though I got the translation right, I can't say as I really understand this sentence. Can you give a context in which one might say this? The part that's throwing me off is the aussi, otherwise @sitesurf's examples are very helpful.

Sorry i erased all my old comments when I was enraged at Duolingo for erasing one of my posts about my memrise site. Yes, childish.

In my original post, I just asked if pièce meant coin, room, etc.

In the second post, I told Sitesurf that in American English, screw needs to be followed by a preposition (In) or it would imply that she was having sex with the object in question.

Don't know if pièce also has mature connotations in French.

[Sitesurf]

Nope!

[AnCatDubh]

‘It’s also his last work’ is not accepted as of 2015-01-24.

[normgibson]

This's also her last room. Does this english make sense to anyone.

[n6zs]

English does not contract "This is" to This's" although it may sound that way in rapid speech.

[Sitesurf]

Yes, no problem (take a look at the second post here)

[LynnGeee]

This sentence doesn't make sense. The word"also"connotes another. How Can there be more than one "last" anything?

[Sitesurf]

You have to imagine a context where it would be relevant.
A worker in a factory, someone comments on her work, says that she has assembled all pieces nicely so far, and quite fast since "this is also her last piece".

[banksbenjamin]

would another appropriate context be if a museum curator was discussing an artist's work as his most famous and "also this is his last piece"? or would there need to be a different grammatical arrangement?

[karenknold]

What about 'sa' - couldn't that as well mean 'his' as 'her'? Duolingo gives me false for 'his', but I don't understand why...

[Sitesurf]

"his" is accepted.

[mmehayes]

I said, it's also her last play and got it correct.

[CoxySmith]

why is "it is also her last piece" wrong? when the proposed translation is: "this is also her last piece".

[Jon947551]

How do I know it is "piece" for room as opposed to "piece" for piece?

[Sitesurf]

There are a lot of possible translations you can pick from for this lesson. In real life, you would have context to help you pick the right word:

• pièce = coin/play/piece/bit/item/part/patch/room/paper/document/play

[edwardsun16]

"piece" as in part of something, a work of art, or a gun?

[RoscoeJB]

Does anyone else hear two voices on the last word?
