"Дівчина усміхається."

Translation: A girl is smiling.

[JaySoc06]

A girl was never a boy, a girl keeps secrets. A girl is clever. Valar Morghulis.

Should 'the girlfriend smiles' not be accepted?

[Vinnfred]

For дівчина to mean "girlfriend" it rather needs to be "owned": моя дівчина (my girlfriend), дівчина мого брата (my brother's girlfriend). Just дівчина is usually "girl"

Can someone explain me this verb construction, please ?

[Ces.10]

I guess you have seen the -єть in some more verbe by now. It is the present tense for he/she/it (like -s in English). Now, the suffix -ся is attached to that. This makes a verb reflexive, like -se in Spanish, sich in German or się in PL :)

[Eclectic1234]

Like the Turkish suffix -(i)n.

I hope your question was the same as merhoo's above, I tried to answer it there, but let me know if your question was about something else

[AlmatAlikh]

a girl is laughing "" not right?

[ngwarai]

No. Laughing and smiling are two different things in English and all the languages I know. I have checked Ukrainian on Google Translate and it uses the word "сміятися" for "smile". Out of curiosity, does your native language use the same word for "smile" and "laugh" ?

[l2kN9]

Some slavic languages use similar sounding words like smíchat, which can mean smile or laugh depending on the language or context, so while smiling/,laughing are different in English, I know where that dude is coming from

[russianjerk]

Усмехаться (rus.) - to grin, for example

[J1DM1u]

That makes me feel better... I like a good smile.
