"La sua personalità è diversa."

Translation: His personality is different.

[Kea296986]

How do you infer "his" over "her" in this case?

[SuzanElise]

You can't. 'Sua' can mean his or her, both are correct here because you can't know which one it is.

[Erated8]

You'd only be able to do that with prior context, When translating this either should do.

[NoeBerengena]

I saw from the page that diverse could mean different, homosexual or gay.
So I typed in gay just to see if it would be accepted and it was marked WRONG. Where is the consistency of this program? If it gives you alternate words as possible correct choices shouldn't it accept them?

[Popcornpop89]

Perhaps it's because although the word can mean that, in this case it doesn't make sense because you can't have a gay personality... (unless you were stereotyping, i guess...) so they included it for your future reference but you had to work out in the context which translation they meant.

[oasis44]

That's a nice way of putting it

[SalCirone]

why is "her personality is diverse" wrong?

[StanKing1]

Because "diversa" in Italian generally means "different" in English.

[Carissa789117]

Is that a polite way of saying she's difficult to be around

[Erated8]

Different from what? I guess different from how it was previously? Or different from "The Others"?

[N1ckn1ck]

Diversa is being pronounced wrong.

[artskinner]

my answer is correct. There is no way to distinguish masculine from feminine .

[GiovanniGriz]

Should be accepted

[AnnBlum1]

There should have been provision for either "your" or "his" or "her".

[ackworth]

The final word was pronounced more like vivera than diversa - there was no 's' and the initial letter souned like 'v'. Even though I know what the person said it doesn't sound correct.

[ms00498]

i agree, i thought she said "di vera"

[Shanigans]

I have no audio at all

[giovanna60615]

That happens to me occasionally. I find that refreshing the page helps.

[germz20]

Just curious but is "differente" ever used in Italian? & What's the Italian word for "diverse?

[buxenboim]

why did you mark my translation WRONG?! It can be "his" or "her"

[jess28423]

why does it have "homosexual" and "gay" in the drop down menu of "diversa"

[fischimglas]

Why is She has a different personality wrong?

[artskinner]

my answer is correct. There is no way to tell if it's masculine or feminine

[artskinner]

my answer is correct.

[AllyGale1]

Why not 'her personality is different'? I tried to report this but the relevant option doesn't come up.

[RodParker-]

I agree, 'your personality is different' should also be accepted

[AldoChavez641889]

how do I know is female or male?

[LoisScampini]

I'm getting tired of being called wrong when I translate "il suo" and "la sua" as "your." This is incorrect!!!! When one is speaking formally (Lei) as opposed to "tu" the possessive is "suo" or "sua", NOT "tuo " and "tua". The same is true of "il loro." That can mean "your" (plural) when using the formal.

[AnnaBelle854406]

Suo/sua -> his, hers AND tuo/tua -> yours
