I responded, " I have another daughter, but she is bigger" and was correct. I do not see where we get older when using the spanish word grande.

Grammar questions aside, this one just sounded really mean to me haha. I translated it as "I have another daughter, but she is a fatty"

Im confused, doesn't "mas grande' mean bigger instead of older?

Hmm, grande means large and big, however when i typed in larger it was not accepted and i see no reason why this was

Yeah, should be mayor.

When is it 'another' and when 'other'?

Isn't 'taller' correct?

I posted, "I have another daughter, but she is much older". That was flagged as wrong, and these were the two correct answers it gave.

I have another daughter, but she is much bigger. I have another daughter, but she is older.

Can someone help me understand why "much bigger" is ok but "much older" is not?

why is it not pero ELLA es muy grande ?

this may be (as implied in this thread) the english equivalent of a "big" sister, or a "little" sister. Got it wrong and put it in my list of alternates and idioms.

The ella is implied, and not necessary? In english the pronoun is not really optional in this example.

I originally wrote: I have another daughter, but she is much larger. Which was not accepted. While "bigger" was one of the acceptable translations. I don't understand the difference.

I felt that "tengo una otra hija" would have been more correct.

this sentence is completely incorrect

Two questions ago I had "Ellos tienen otro hijo." and learn that 'hijo' is interchangable with 'nino.' Now I use the term child for 'hija' and am told that is incorrect. Could someone explain? Or is this simply another owl inconsistency.

I used 'bigger' first but it was marked wrong. Then used older (as it told me to correct it) when I got the question again, and it told me to use bigger. (Marked wrong again)

I know "grande" can mean "older" in spanish when referring to siblings, but why is "más" here?

Is it to indicate that "older" is being rather than "big/bigger"?

I'd think that it's not needed because that question can be answered based on context, or context clues.

I said " i have another child, but she is older." Why is that wrong some one plz explan

Can this also be asked, "Tengo una otra hija, ..."

Do you have to drop the article?

I wrote the same too but yes, I guess its all abouy context, the same as in English.

when do we use "YO TENGO!!" and when do we use "Tengo" ?

How do you know if they mean big in size or age? Why not use mas viejo?

This is inconsistent. In previous i had the same sentence with a son instead of daughter and got it right by saying bigger

I put, "I have another daughter but she is much bigger" and was marked wrong. I feel like people say this when their kids are young. Why is it wrong? Also, not sure how we were supposed to assume "older" from "grande"

I looked up how to say I have another daughter but she is older and bigger. It said "Tengo otra hija pero ella es mayor y mas grande." I think when I'm speaking.... I'll stick with mayor for older.

I think Duolingo is favouring Mexican Spanish here. Mas mayor for me.

Why not much older?

Can't be correct, I'm not using that expression

is "mas mayor" not older

The dictionary hints only show bigger and larger as translation for grande

Tengo otra hija, pero ella es mucho mayor. Makes more sense. I guess they are trying to teach us mas grande can refer to age as well as size.

Now MÁS GRANDE means OLDER.

Grande means big major means older
