"The animals are distinct."

Translation: Los animales son distintos.

[thepkl]

I might have said that one animal was distinctive over another animal, but as a group I would have said they are different.

[Iago]

Distinct and different (but not distinctive) are synonyms.

What is the difference between distinto y distinta

[David382068]

Distinto is masculine while distinta is feminine.

[mombrell]

I thought that distinto means different. In this sentence it meant distinct?

[widercampos]

'Distinto' means both 'distinct' and 'different'.

[kiraya04]

Well, animals are not distinct...

[Jamhan]

Why 'distintos' and not 'distintes'?

[widercampos]

Because it is 'distintos'. Some adjectives/nouns are finished in 'te' and does not vary in gender. But it's not the case here, the word simply is like that.

I wondered the same thing. I wrote it with an '-es' instead of '-o' & was wondering how to tell which one you're supposed to use.
