"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

[LeslieAnnKoeks]

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...

[KorEye1]

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

[Marta820086]

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

[missguidedgirl]

Why is lady not 'mulher'?

[Paulenrique]

Lady is usually translated as "senhora".

[deactivated user]

"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".

[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?

[Kaesar185]

Duolingo has some serious issues it needs to be checked im tired of saying an alternative which is right but is marked wrong

[OlafGabriel]

I am still not sure, what this means: One glove or a pair of gloves.

[Terry843404]

A glove or one glove should be accepted

[JonahLarse7]

This is literally correct. Both translations are right

[vmike1]

The lady has a glove should be acceptable since 1) mulher is woman and lady is also woman; 2) uma is one and "a" is "one". A mulher tem uma luva. The woman has a glove. The lady has one glove. The thought spoken in portuguese and the the thought received in english are the same thought. Communication has happened.
