How to differentiate between that and this when it come le and la

Question

How to translate la femme? eg the answer given was this girl? How to know whether it's this or that or the?

Accepted Answer

Hi Nedhina,  
The only Kwiz question I could find relating to the girl was -
La fille est belle 
Does it mean -
The girl is beautiful / A girl is beautiful / This girl is beautiful / That girl is beautiful 
It is the first one 'using the article 'the' - The girl is beautiful 
For the other possibilities it would be -

Une fille est belle = A girl is beautiful 
Cette fille est belle = This girl is beautiful
Cette fille-là est belle = That girl is beautiful

Hope this helps but let me know if I have misunderstood your question.

Answer

Salut Nedhina,The translation of la femme should be "the woman". To express the girl I would expect to see la fille.So I suspect that there is an error.
