"She is a woman."
Translation:Ella es una mujer.

When translating "She is a woman", the correct answer is given as "Ella es una mujer." Why can't the correct answer also be "Ella eres una mujer"?
Just use an online Spanish dictionary or a conjugator site.
In "Ella eres una mujer", eres means (you) are . So it would translate "She are a woman", which it isn't even proper grammer.
Don't translate only verbs, always put the English pronoun.
You can't say "are" in English alone in a sentence, can you?
Tú eres una mujer. Tú eres un hombre. Tù eres un niño. Tú eres muy inteligente. Tú eres muy bonita(girl
You: Tu eres - Tu comes - Tu saltas - Tu lees
Singular: Ella es - Ella come - Ella salta - Ella lee -
Plural: Ellas son - Ellas comen - Ellas saltan - Ellas Leen
You have to conjugate the verb to match the subject. You wouldn't say I is, you would change the verb to say I am. In Spanish it is conjugated as
Yo soy Tú eres Él, ella, usted es Nosotros(as) somos Vosotros(as) sois Ellos,Ellas,Ustedes son When there is only 1 subject for the verb it can be condensed into just the verb. So yo soy can become just soy. Sometimes they drop the subject when it shares the verb too. Like this sentence, it can be translated to "Es una mujer" which can mean, you (formal) are a woman, he is a woman (but this is knocked out because woman is feminine), she is a woman, or since there is no subject pronoun for "it" this can also simply mean, "it is a woman".
Un is masculine and una is feminine. You have to look at the subject to figure out wich one to use. Mujer= una Hombre= un
"Un" is for when you are referring to a man. "Una" is for reffering to a woman.
Do not translate the English verb alone, It's forbidden, as the English verbs makes no sense alone.
Are can also be somos, and other things, so, it's really not a good practice. You will only confuse yourself.
Say: (Tú) Eres = You are.
I also wondered about that, but I looked at the conjugation of eres and it said that yo ( I ) is soy, tu ( you ) is eres, and el, ella, and usted are es.
Tú is you. A singular, and informal you.
Tú eres = eres = you are.
The Tú is optional.
It is because eres is usually used for you. Example: Tú eres una mujer=You are a woman. Eres used for Ella since eres is used to direct someone you're talking in person
Tú is you (singular you, and informal). Eres is always used to mean you are. (when using the Ser verb, not the Estar, of course.)
I am a native speaker but i use this app to practice more on my spanish .The reason why thats not correct is because you only use eres when you say YOU. For example: Ella es un Niña. Tú eres una famosa. Tú eres un niño El es un famoso (Ect.) So only use ERES when you say Tú ( which is the word YOU)
becouse ella eres una mujer is ella(she) eres (are) una (a) mujer(woman) are she are a woman or she you are a woman
because "Eres" it for you, for example. "Tu eres hombre" it is mean "You are a man"
because the sentence "she is a woman" in spanish is translated "Ella es una mujer" is literally translated as those exact words. The sentence "Ella eres una mujer" is translated as "she you're a woman", this is coming from a mexican that has a father born in mexico, he explained it to me, but back on track. Do you see how that might be confusing? 'Cause you are saying to them "she you're a woman" confusing and slightly insulting unless they really are a woman
Because people just dont speak Spanish that way. What is someone said "she a woman is." Thats not correct English so why should they change the language because if a few people?
The correct answer wouldn't be "Ella eres una mujer" because that translates to "She are a woman".
es means is, eres means are so, if translate ella eres una mujer in english it means she are a woman. does it sound correct? please do reply if i misunderstood your question
Eres goes after tu , just like you are , and a elle is she just like she is So she is ( elle es ) You are ( tu eres )
Es=is Eres=are These two are not the same So you can't answer "Ella eres una mujer"
When u tranalate that it would not be correct, and before asking things like this, i say u should analyse that and try to figure out why by urself. That would help you a lot
because eres means you are or are that is why the correct answer is ella es una mujer
'Eres' means 'are' so that's the reason why you can't say "Ella eres una mujer".
Because of the verb type. Eres is only used with Tu and Es is for el/ella. It is exactly the same as why you say "You ARE" and "he/she IS". You wouldn't say "she are", therefore you don't say "ella eres"
In spanish, the pronoun can be implied, as the conjugated forms of verbs are different. Es is different than soy, eres, somos, sois, and son, so we know that its either it, he, she, or you(formal). Context would be given previously to determine who/what is the subject.
Ella = she El= he
Ellos = they (masculine and mixed) Ellas = they - but exclusively only used to refer to women in groups. So if 99 women and 1 guy = still Ellos
a group of women only = Ellas
@Q42 There's a mistake here.
El is not "he", it's "él" = he.
Don't confuse, because "el" without accent = the (masculine the).
"Una" means "a" ... She is a woman. "La" means "the" ... She is the woman.
Usted is the "you" used when talking to someone who isn't somebody you call by their first name.
So, by using usted, you're saying, "You is a woman."
Of course, the sentence we want is "She is a woman."
"Ella" means she.
So, replace "usted" with "ella".
It's a good rule, but can't you call someone by his Christian name, and say "usted"?
Usted is the polite you (formal), when addressing only one person.
es is conjugate of ser esta is conjugate of estar
the general difference is state. ser is more permanent while estar is temporary. ie. gender is permanent (for the most part) and mood (happy, sad) is temporary
Ella es a woman= she is (always) a woman.
Ella está en Italia = she is (not always) in Italy.
Estar is used to mean "to be" with things like places, it's not a permanent "to be", as you can move.
Why are not both ella es una nina and ella es una mujer correct? The English Spanish online translation says both are correct.
It's niña, no nina. Accents are very important in Spanish.
If you are on a phone, press longer the "n" key to show the accents, or download a Spanish keyboard or dictionary for your phone.
Please, don't use an online translation (they are not always correct), use a dictionary.
Eres is the conjugation for you... You aren't attempting to say you are a woman, but rather, she is.
Be careful to use "Tú" to mean the singular you (informal), and not "tu", because "tu" means something else. It means "your".
See my above post about ser vs estar. Gender is permanent (for the most part), so es is the correct translation.
Ella está (not esta), means "She is" when you have something that is impermanent, like a place.
She is in Paris = (Ella) está en Paris.
It's used for places (and other things).
I typed in the right answer but it told me I was wrong. The correct answer matched what I typed. "Ella es una mujer"
Un is masculine, like “un hombre, un árbol”. Una is feminine: “una mujer, una mesa”
I translate the sentence to elle es una mujer and always give me wrong answer why?
The difference is that un is masculine, and una is feminine, so used with feminine nouns.
I'm not complaining about the sentence I'm complaining about duolingo. Why isn't there a button to help? I didn't know the answer so i had to use 10 sth idk I'm new. That is ONE sentence. Ok ok ok... there is a tip, maybe that will tell... I'M NOT INTERESTED ABOUT LEARNING THE WORD DRINK!!! I'M INTERESTED ABOUT LEARNING THIS ONE... ONNNNEEEEE FRICKIN SENTENCE!!!
It doesn't say anything about ella, it just says she. How do we know that they are talking about ella?
Why does it say "ella tiene" when you click for hints, and then say that is wrong and that it should be "ella es"? When do you use tiene?
Sorry to ask as i am begginer that why not ' tu eres una mujer ' is used
Because “tu eres una mujer” mean “your are a woman” as the tu Means “your” and “eres” is are for the you pronoun. I hope this makes sense!
I need help. I am struggling in Spanish a lot I can't understand it. please give me some more tips.. I can really us them. I am doing German where I gain the most points but then Spanish is like my point loser. I would really like some TIPS. and I keep messing up if the word is masculine or feminine when there is no hint. But Duolingo you guys are great. you are better than any language book. Thank you for making a free education
The voice duolingo, uses for telling sentences, is not so friendly, i do not accept it. The voice is too low pitched, and does not help u , and it is also very fast, as a therapist and spanish teacher, i propose this complaint, pls solve this voice issues, i use duolingo to teach my students in a fun way, but my students, say the voice is not so kid friendly, and gives them weird thoughts, hope you know what i mean, its to rude and harsh, as far of me, i say u should replace the voice, or will raise a complaint again
ok so maybe I went to formal, I tried Esta usted una mujer. On how many levels did I screw up?
formal is only reflected to speak to 'you' formally. In this sentence, the subject is she, so usted plays no role here. Also, the use of 'estar' is incorrect here, you must use 'ser'. This is because being a woman is a permanent condition, then 'ser' applies. Ella está una mujer is wrong. Ella es una mujer is right. Both would translate to She is a woman.
to be, like ser, but each one is used in different constructions.
As an example, to state current locations 'estar' must be used (I am at <xxxx> estoy en <xxxx>)
Estar means "to be" but only for impermanent state, like being in a place (you can move).
It is never "esta", it's with an accent: está.
If you are on a phone, just press longer the "a" key.
No, because la is not a pronoun but an article. It would be like asking if the sentence "The is a woman" is right.
I had the record for this, and I spoke "Ella es una mujer," (at least that was my intent. I said a different word, but it registered. Anyway, to the problem) and it said I succeeded, having heard "Es una mujer." I assume the she is kind of implied, but I'm wondering in which cases are the pronouns unnecessary. Would it be just in the cases where you make the gender obvious by the rest of the sentence?
Un = masculine una = feminine. So woman is implied feminine :)
For non-implied nouns, the general rule of thumb is if it ends in o use un if it ends in a ie. una manzana
Because 'usted' means 'you' not 'she'. So if you write usted the sentence would mean "You is a woman."
una is 'a', la is 'the' for feminine forms, same with un and el, but those are the masculine forms
Why is "Es una mujer" listed as a correct answer. I got it wrong by not selecting it. Wouldn't that translate to "is a woman"? Don't see how it translates to "She is a woman".
In Spanish, pronouns are sometimes left out since the verb conjugation usually shows it. This does not happen in English, which is why this may often be confusing
"Ella es una mujer" means "she is a woman" where as "es una mujer" means "is a woman" i dont see how i got this wrong.
No. both Ella es una mujer and Es una mujer means She is a woman.
Because the "Ella" (as other subjects-pronouns) are optional in Spanish. You can write them, you can skip them, with the same meaning (or almost).
Two L's side by side in Spanish make a Y sound. So its just "Eya" (Think like Heya without the H sound)
¿ es una mujer? That makes no sense it should be ella es una mujer right? Someone please explain
Why is "Es una mujer" also a correct answer? Wouldn't that just mean "Is a woman" ?
Why is "Es una mujer" correct here? Who is the subject in such a sentence? From what DL has taught me so far, the spanish "es" means the same as the english "is".
in Spanish it is not necessary to put the subject why by putting the words like "un, una, " we know what subject it is, that's why you do put "ella es una mujer" or "es una mujer" both are correct. Each word is related to the subject: El es UN... Ella es UNA ... I am a native Spanish speaker excuse my mistakes in English
I put "Ella es una mujer" as my answer it counted as wrong because "Es una mujer" is correct, also???
Yes, it's also correct, Ella es una mujer is correct, and Es una mujer is also correct.
The pronoun is optional in Spanish (when it's the subject).
When translating "She is a woman", the correct answer is given as "Ella es una mujer." Why can't the correct answer also be ¨Ella es un mujer?"
"Un" is used for masculine words, and "una" is used for feminine words.
For example, "un niño" or "una niña."
Good luck!
I said Usted es una mujer and got it wrong. I understand that Usted is more formal but was I wrong?
"Ella una mujer" is the same thing as saying, "She a woman." "Es" means is, so it would be "Ella es una mujer," meaning "She is a woman.
For those who are saying, ¨it could also be Ella eres una mujer,¨ no, it could not. The word ¨eres¨ is second person singular, and the word ¨ella¨ is third person singular, so, therefore, you would need to use the verb that matches--third person singular, ¨es¨. Otherwise you are saying
You're almost right, but "este" means "this" in Spanish. What you're looking for is "es," meaning "is". Hope this helps!

It gives the option to put 'ella' with 'este' when highlighting the word, but then it marks it as wrong. I know the correct answer to be 'es' but can someone explain why? Thank you!
So she is a girl and she is a woman are different how? Besides woman and girl. Why is it eres mujer but es una nina?
Because it's not the verb with "Ella".
Esté doesn't exist.
Este means "this", not a verb.
Ella es una mujer.
Ella est está in Italia = It means an impermanent state, like to be in a place.
"Er" doesn't exist.
Eres is used with "Tú", meaning "you are", with a singular informal "you".
For conjugations, write "Spanish conjugations" in Google.
When is was typing it in, I did it in English, I thought it would work but it was not supposed to be typed in English, so at the bottom it said: "Ella es una mujer."
You simply didn't read well the question. Sometimes we confuse the kind of exercise.
It's a typo, it's "mujer". So the software accepted it as a typo, but it's 100% wrong.
I'm trying to under stand how this can't be "La es una mujer". If "He eats" is "El comes". Aren't we using el and la for pronoun reference to he or she?
On the english thing for "is" it said este yet i got my answer wrong. Not cool
Ignore the "este", it's not a verb, it means "this".
The hint dictionary is only a dictionary, so it doesn't look at your sentence and the context. Maybe it's included for sentences like "This is a woman".
Is the article "una" necessary? I'm confused as to when to include and when to not include an article in Spanish.
Because different letters make different sounds in different languages.
The letters in Spanish makes Spanish sounds.
La jota (j) makes a jota sound. See here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2c5_dK8IKUw
Can't I also say "la es una mujer?" I thought la could also mean she, but it said it was incorrect.
La translates to "the" (feminine version). So it would have to be ella.
So, for a man they just said to use es, and the same sentance for a woman was esta...
I entered "Ella es una mujer" and it showed uncorrect. Then displayed the correct answer is Ella es una mujer....please help. From what i can see the answer entered is correct
What is the difference between 'es' and 'us'? Aren't they the same meaning as 'a'?
The answer is correct, letter a in place of e should not make the whole sentence wrong it is just a typo
Guys plz i need help What is the pronounce of (ella) Is it eya or eja I'm so confused and this girl say it as eja
Both are correct. It depends which country's or region's accent you end up learning. I speak with a Chilean accent (because my late spouse was Chilean) so I pronounce "ll" and often "y" (for example the word "yo") as the English "j".
No, you can’t. The verb To Be has 2 meanings in Spanish: Ser and Estar. Ser is used for conditions of the subject that describe it and can’t change (Ella es una mujer, ella es alta, ella es argentina, ella es una profesora). Estar is used to imply an ephemeral condition, a location or for progressive present (Ella está en el baño, ella está triste, ella está cantando)
It depends on the context. Señora usually refers to a married or mature woman. Señora would be translated as Lady (She is a lady - Ella es una señora), or can mean Madam (Good morning madam! - ¡Buenos días señora!)
If you click on the words, it tells you the answer. I clicked the words to tell the answer, and it said it was wrong...
“Un” is for masculine nouns like: “un hombre” (a man), “un niño” (a boy), “un árbol” (a tree). And “una” is used with feminine words like “una mujer” (a woman), “una niña” (a girl), “una casa” (a house).
Becouse it was feminine i used tieras or how ever i spelled it how is this rong
It is not letting me select the first (correct) option, the option does not highlight when I select it.
Am I supposed to pronounce "ella" as "ayjuh"? I always tought it was like 'eyyuh".
Literally write the exact answer and it said I'm wrong. All games have their glitches.
The previous question told me the answer was "usted es una mujer", so like every other question you get wrong i typed in that answer, and it told me the answer i got the first time "ella es una mujer." MAKE UP YOUR MIND DUOLINGO, i lost two lives to this!
I misspelling 'es' as 'ea' but when i misspelled other things i got it right.. so idk why i got this wrong.

She is a woman. I wrote Ella es una mujer and it said incorrect and repeated my answer as right...
nivi626503
él = he
He (él) is a woman = Not correct
She (ella) is a woman = Correct
I thought that it was tiene, not es. Idk if i'm wrong or if duolingo is wrong.
Oops! It's "Ella es un mujer" not "Ella eres una mujer" unless, I'm wrong Again.
So 'ella' is pronounced 'eja' when there is no accent but 'el' (I think that has an accent) is pronounced as we see it?? I thought accents empathise the vowel or the letter... :/
so eres is like a "are" to you "are", right? woah, it's so easy to learn spanish when you're romanian :)
Why is ella esta una mujer wrong.
Esta also means is
What is difference between esta and es
I am learning with Duolingo I have a good experience although I do not speak English I speak Spanish I am from San Luis Potosí Mexico +52
the man in the audio pronounces it as 'eya' but the woman pronounces it something like 'eja' / 'ejya' so I was confused about the correct pronunciation
You should start off with little words first. Especially because i dont know how to spell women in Spanish. I do know what the word looks like but forgot to spell it.
I typed Élla es una mujer. Yet it said l need to pay attention to accents. Wow l thought l was correct.
Spanish is moi complicato... (That probably isn't even right, iy yi yi...)
Eres means you are. So Then the sentence would have to be "Eres un Mujer" but that isn't the sentence
Why cant we correct a word if we touch the wrong word. I could get a lot right if i could correct the wrong word i touched.
Why do I get told my answer is wrong when I translate "She is a woman" as Elle es una mujer. And thats the same thing Im told is the correct answer?
Spanish is its own language, just because it doesn't line up with English doesn't mean its incorrect. Or?
Side note/discussion/question: Why does Spanish have to line up with English to be correct? The problem seems to be systemic.
Some person i know really messed up for me and lost me thre practice earned lives at one go
I love Spanish do you know why Spanish is so nice my gramma was in My grandma was able to talk to Spanish and I learn Spanish a lot
In a hint it was said that 'is' for she is 'tiene' which is false of course.
Im getting confused in "ella es una mujer" and giving answer as "usted una es mujer"
I'm getting a little annoyed of the purple haired girl character with the bad attitude.
"Ella" means 'she' and "usted" is the formal way of saying you but in the singular form.
Actually I was typing the sentence but unfortunately I have clicked the button and its went wrong
Congrats on scrolling all the way down here. I hope you'll manage to learn Spanish
Sometimes they pronounce ELLA as eija sometimes ella sometimes eiia. What is the correct pronounciatio
Hey, if someone could assist me in using the accents, that would be grt, im not sure, if ther is a lesson for that, if there is, then it should be up first, as its important to know accents first along with words, but it isnt, so this is a serious problem, which i hv adresed, but not seemed to hv gotten a explantion,
I wrote elles es una mujer and it was counted as wrong answer, why exactly?
