"A mulher tem uma luva."

Translation: The woman has one glove.

[MicheleMar39]

She wears one boot and has one glove. Sad.

[manofsnow]

at least she has a cape

[donaJenni]

She is obviously freezing.

[Dru139875]

Why is 'a glove' wrong? A glove means one glove

[YellowHedgehog]

It should be accepted.

[CascadianLotus]

I would like to know this as well

[LeslieAnn620105]

It should be accepted as correct. Otherwise in English it would be gloves meaning two!

[joeytalbot]

Can 'uma luva' mean a pair of gloves, in the same way that 'uma bota' can mean a pair of boots?

[pfeil]

Yes.
Você tem/alguma uma luva pra me emprestar? = Do you have a/any pair of gloves to lend me?
Você me empresta um sapato? = Can I borrow you a pair of shoes?

[MO_will_HIT_u]

Then how should one know if it's a pair or a single glove?

[Eveline894600]

A glove or one glove... Both should be correct.. No?

[Paulenrique]

Yes, both of them should be accpeted...

[Marta820086]

Why translation "The woman has a glove" is incorrect?

[KorEye1]

"The woman has a glove" is still not accepted in 2020. What is going on Duolingo?

[missguidedgirl]

Why is lady not 'mulher'?

[Paulenrique]

Lady is usually translated as "senhora".

[emeyr]

"Lady" is a difficult word in AmE. You can't address a woman directly as "lady" because it sounds rude, and it can sound rather old fashioned to refer to women as "ladies". It is still used on the doors of public toilets and in a fixed expression like "Ladies and Gentlemen".

[canonjon]

The lady has one glove - not accepted???

[AnneChernett]

I think it's 'lady' that's causing the problem. If you say the woman has one glove I think you'll find it's accepted. 'Lady' would be a 'senhora'.

[MartineMussies]

Is "one" stressed in this sentence? Can't it just mean "A woman has a glove."...?

[roxy881253]

That should be Thewoman has a glove, why that sentence has no sense?

[MO_will_HIT_u]

In english, if someone has one apple we can say "They have an apple". Depending on context, we can also say "They have one apple", Both of them are correct. I hope now it makes sense to u.

[roxy881253]

Ok. But in app The woman has a glove was incorrect. Both should be correct. Am I right? If i can say both ways ...

[guamacide]

is "uma" in this sentence different from other instances in previous lessons? "one" and "a" is not interchangeable. it would have close or similar meaning in many cases, but it doesn't mean the same thing.

why is Duolingo suddenly changing the meaning of a word? if you're going to use it in exercises, teach it in the lesson that it was introduced and explain instead of causing more confusion as you repeatedly do.

[BenHueb]

At full speed, the sentence sounds just like "A mulher tem a luva" to me. Anyone else?

[Klynthun]

The lady has got a golve also same meaning what?
