"A sobrinha dele tem uma tartaruga."

Translation: His niece has a turtle.

That computer voice is awful, could have sworn I heard "carcaruga", and now I feel dumb. So, thanks robot.

Really weird, look's like with the narrator of the YouTube channel Fatos Desconhecidos.

Come on, you gotta accept "tortoise"!!!

[Danmoller]

...we often call tortoise "tartaruga", but technically, "tartaruga" is that living in water (the most common way to refer to them is "tartaruga marinha -- turtle of the sea", and "cágado" is that living on land.

So, turtle = tartaruga, tortoise = cágado, but often cágado is called tartaruga.

why not "Meu sobrinha tem uma tartaruga" instead?

[Paulenrique]

MInha sobrinha = my niece.

[Pierre559404]

Why not "Sua sobrinha tem uma tartaruga" instead?

[Paulenrique]

It's also right.
