            'Eu sou uma formiga' also means that you have a sweet tooth and like snacking. So if someone's been eating all the cake, you can say you have a 'formiga' in the house

            So this is actually an idiom and not just one of Duolingo's crazy sentences?

            Why is the indefinite article required for the Portuguese? Wouldn't it just be Sou formiga or Eu sou formiga?

              You don't need to translate the article just when you have professions.

                What the difference between "um" and "uma"?

                  they both mean a/an.

                  use um for masculine words and uma for feminine words.
