"She would make a good girlfriend."

Translation: Ela daria uma boa namorada.

[Davu]

This sounds highly idiomatic and extremely difficult to guess from the English sentence. A heart lost but a phrase learnt.

[Paulenrique]

Yes. When "I'd make" can be used as "I'd be" it can be translated as "eu seria/daria"

[Davu]

Thanks Paulo. If seria/daria are alternatives is there a possibility that "Ela faria uma boa namorada" is OK despite what Duolingo says?

[Paulenrique]

No, we dont translate it literally in this context

[mastakhan]

So "seria" would be ok in this case, along with "daria"?

[Paulenrique]

Yes!

[Zoltan_Nemeth]

The answer is "daria", but the hints are iria/fariam/cometeu/fará :D

[intcreator]

She's not that good looking but maybe she could give me one of her roommates...
