"Ela ainda é uma menina."

Translation: She is still a girl.

In portuguese would it be also correct to say "Ela é ainda uma menina."

[Paulenrique]

Yes!

[Corin_Wright]

..until the operation at least.

[chripstopher]

I believe "she is still a child" should be acceptable. The gender is already stated and Duolingo already defines "menina" as "child."

[lunabrest]

"menina"and"menino"sometimes could mean child?

[edermorimoto]

Yes

[browshan]

Where did ainda come from? this is the first time im seeing that word.

[Ulysser]

Ainda is too used in Portuguese. I am a native speaker and everybody often uses it.

[Okabe2008]

The correct is "Ela ainda é uma menina" (I speak portuguese)

[wilderWisent]

From portugal?

[Kiva225]

I put "She is still a child" and it was marked incorrect.

[GlennaSol]

Report it. It should be counted correct, since menina = female child

[NogoBogo]

The audio sounds kinda garbled to me, so it's kinda hard to tell whether she's saying "é ainda" or "ainda é".

[Gyozo_Cserhalmy]

This 'kinda' seems more kinda fifth wheel than 'é que' in Portuguese. (An annoyed outsider.)
