"Two minus two is zero."

Translation: Dois menos dois é zero.

thanks Doulingo for teach me maths ;)

"Duas menos duas" was counted wrong. Is "two" always masculine unless it is accompanying a feminine noun?

[Flavio_do_Brasil]

No, "duas menos duas" should be accepted.

[delvi]

Posso usar "igual" por "é"?

[drksk]

You can use it as long as you say: "igual a.."

Dois menos dois, igual a zero.

[delvi]

Muito obrigada, RC_BR. A sua ajuda está muito útil. :)

[Flavio_do_Brasil]

Ou "dois menos dois é igual a zero".

dois menos duas why wrong?

[DanielAzulay]

In portuguese two must follow the gender. Dois is masculine and duas is feminine. In your sentence you are mixing the gender and that is incorrect.

[Miqln]

Talvez seja uma coisa de Minas, mas geralmente falamos dois menos dois DÁ zero ao invés de É zero.

[Ymeagain]

Not just in Minas, I am sure, as the equivalent English is often used in the UK. I think using 'gives' emphasizes that the end result is a consequence of the earlier operations. (Not much of a gift here, I know!)

Why is "2-2=0" wrong?

[TerraZe]

That's the language of mathematics which isn't being taught here. Rather, how mathematics is said in the perspective languages.

[sac5sc]

why is "dois sem dois é zero" wrong?

[delvi]

"Sem" means "without." One would not say "Two without two is zero." in English; one should not say it in Portuguese either. :)

[vsandl]

Dois menos dois faz zero? In English we can say 2 minus 2 makes zero.

[Paulenrique]

But not in Portuguese... "faz" does not work here...
