"A camisa da mulher é grande."

Translation: The woman's shirt is big.

Really? I said: The woman's blouse is big - blouse = shirt? no?

[Paulenrique]

maybe Duo wants "blusa" as a translation for blouse.

[Joannachild]

Yes but in an earlier lesson camisa=shirt or blouse more consistency required

[phoner22]

When do we use de verses da in this case. In this sentence, does it mean that it belongs to women in general compared to say if we sayed "a camisa de mulher e grande" which would mean a particular woman?

[skynightstar]

No, it comes from de + a, which has to become 'da'.

I wrote "her shirt is big". Why is not aceppted?

[iloveotgw]

If the correct translation was "her shirt" it would say "a camisa dela". If it says "a camisa da mulher" it means "the woman's shirt". Hope that helps :)

the shirt of woman is grand. Why it is incorrect?
