- "Ella está muy emocionada."

This tripped me up because I answered with ," She is very emotional." and it marked it as correct. In another question, I translated same word to emotional, and was marked incorrect. (which I did end up looking up outside of DL, and realized I was wrong in the first place, and it does in fact translate to excited.)
“Emocionado” really does mean “excited.” “Emotional” would be “emocional”. https://dictionary.reverso.net/english-spanish/Emotional
I heard emocionado. I hate it when this happens. I got it wrong just because of the bad microphone.
Well, if you understood “ella” then you shoukd know it must also be the feminine form “emocionada.” I don’t know how you heard differently. It is clear to me from the female voice at the top of this page.
If you touch the word, don’t you get a hint? It does depend on the kind of lesson exercise though. “Banner?”
My teacher told me that "excitada" has a sexual connotation, so this could make things awkward...
》In adjectives it's only the last letter [-o/-a] that changes according to the noun/subject's gender, e.g:
▪Él está enojado. / Ella está enojada
▪El pájaro está amarillo. / La lámpara está amarilla.
》If we talk about nado/nada, they can mean the following:
▪Nada (1) = nothing
▪Nada (2) = he/she/it swims; You (usted) swim; you (tú): Swim! [imperative]
▪Nado = I swim
▪Nadó = he/she/it/You (usted) swam [preterit]

In Spanish, adjectives must agree with the noun (or pronoun) they describe in gender and in number.

En español, los adjetivos deben coincidir con el sustantivo (o pronombre) que describen en género y en número.
-He is excited: Él está emocionado.
-She is excited: Ella está emocionada.
-They are excited: Ellos estan emocionados.
-They are excited: Ellas estan emocionadas.

in French we can say, elle est tres emotionnelle or elle est tres excitee
Ella (pronounced El-Lah) was my cousin's name. Silly me. And no, I didn't ask Duo if they would accept it.
I put "emotional" and was accepted, according to GT, it is "excited". Now confused.
“Emotional” would be “emocional.” “Emocionado” really is “excited.” Scroll up for the dictionary links.
Well emotional and excited are actually pretty similar, because emotional can refer to many emotions you can have, such as angry, sad, or excited.
Wouldn’t you rather be specific? If someone just got a gift for her birthday, I would say she was excited. If I said she was emotional, someone might think that she burst into tears or threw it across the room? Scroll up for more information.
That actually happened at a birthday party I went to. It was pretty awkward.
Apparently the correct translation is " she is very moved" at least thats what it told me!!!!!! What the heck
They used to be available at the sentence discussions and now only on the lesson page.
If you are using a phone hold the letter down and a menu will appear that you can choose the correct accented letter from.
