> "I'm impressed." for some reason translates into "Я впечатлена." — technically correct but as though the speaker is female... Context indeed is insufficient.

> "I'm impressed." for some reason translates into "Я впечатлена." — technically correct but as though the speaker is female... Context indeed is insufficient. On the other hand some languages have neutral forms, which may be more appropriate in mixed or insufficient contexts. For example, in this case the Russian equivalent could be impersonal "Впечатляет!", as in "This impresses me!" However, this is more interpretation, than translation. BTW, French translation gives it in masculin "Je suis impressionné."
