    Here you would use the word "nouveau, nouvel" (masculine) and "nouvelle" (feminine) and the correct sentence would be "mes nouvelles traductions".

    - nouveau, nouvel, nouvelle = another one, a different one
    - neuf, neuve = brand-new

    But often you'll hear the word "nouveau" but with both meanings at the same time. For instance... "j'ai achet

    Actually there is no any guarantee.
    Because when I do the translations, I use only my memory (otherwise there is no sense in these exercises, I think). So I still can make mistakes.

    Don't be too hard on yourself. We all make mistakes and typos and sometimes we see them only when somebody else points them out.

    There is "demie" too.
    Maybe the both are correct?
    This word can be either an adjective, a noun or a adverb which explains "demi" and "demie".
    When you see "demi-" attache to a noun with a hyphen, it will be always invariable whether the noun is masculine or feminine. For instance... "une demi-heure" or "un demi-cercle".
    When "demi" follows a noun, it will agree to the gender of the noun. For instance... "une heure et demie" or "un centim

    Oops, my bad! As you can see I got mixed up as well. I'm sorry about that.
    The correct one is "sept heures et demie".
