"Nel burro"

Translation: In the butter

[BilboBaggins0135]

Maybe that's where I left my keys!

[linaa_95s]

Lol

[Kevin968039]

What is: where did that fly go?

[MariadelCa703168]

Ha ha ha

[laprincesaaleman]

I always think of donkeys when I hear this word

[bbspeak]

Yeah, but "In the donkey" sounds really bad.

[Kevin968039]

Dude! It's a donkey, not a Chevy, remove the keys from the donkey

[laprincesaaleman]

But hey, if you left your keys in the donkey, I DON'T WANNA KNOW what you've been doing lol

[v_a_y_a_r]

an operation on a donkey, obviously!

[Funest]

I am from Brazil, me too.

[JosiasCarlos11]

Eu também, você pode me dizer se " butter " é manteiga???

[Rhonda_Lehman]

Likewise. If it was Spanish, it would correct!

[mandyaqui]

Me too!!!

[Scarletrosierose]

hahahahha

[JonathanMe278983]

Same

[Brancohope]

"in the butter" - what the hell does it mean?

[mike.c.35]

Probably in ingredient, like, "quanto sale e nel burro?(how much salt is in the butter?)"

[anileng]

makes sense

[RocioN]

That someting is in the butter. A fly, for example.

[Oitzinger]

In informal German "everything in butter" it means, everything is fine, I'm not sure, if it has the same meaning in Italy.

[hm437e]

There is also the english "in the soup" which is exactly the opposite.
(Isn't the expression alles in beste Butter ? or maybe that is just a regional thing?)

[dieprinzessin]

Alles in Butter.
Alles in bester Butter.

Both are fine. Not a regional question.

[rena_dim]

inside the butter

[Nicole_Di_Kansas]

No one else thinks of compound butter? Burro composto? è burro con ingredienti speciali. Rosemarnio e l'aglio sono nel burro. O cannella e zucchero sono nel burro.

[simon486678]

Ask marlon brando. He knows.

[iiZachIverson]

"I think I found the Horcrux, Ron!"

[AuntieE]

Did not sound like nel to me

[ppescara]

I swear it sounds like "nella" to me, although I know it's "nel".

[BrookeLynn13]

Seriously !!

[STRADS1551]

I heard "nella" too.

[Edsworld.]

Even in slow motion it sounds like theres a "la" there

[MartnRoque]

Bam! Right in the butter!

[nodgeohara]

[JKBella]

I typed 'nel burro' to translate 'in the butter', I was marked wrong telling me it was 'nello burro'. Then in the same onslot of 'review' questions, I type in 'nello burro' to answer 'in the butter' and again I am marked wrong. What is it? you can't have it both ways!

[Crazycatlady158]

I am also confused as to why it is "nel" rather than "nello" here.

[Atticus-Finch]

I believe it's "nel" rather than "nello" because the definite article used for butter "burro" is "il". Therefore the articulated preposition for "in + the" would be "nel" - "in + il" instead of "in + lo", "nello". Hope that helps :)

[JKBella]

I can accept that, but when I did type in 'nel burro' the next time, I was wrong again being told that it was 'nello burro'. Thus the confusion and I think it should be one way or the other. I think too that this is a Duolingo error which has gone unnoticed or ignored. Thank you for your explanation, I appreciate it.

[Fat.Red]

Report it. Nel is definitely correct.

[JKBella]

Grazie Fat.Red

[RebeccaZamoloFp]

I am unsure.

[Sara811011]

I read an explanation that "nello" is used for words beginning with a z and ones beginning with an s + a consonant.
Ex: Nello Zucchero (in the sugar), Nello zaino (in the backpack), and Nello scarico (in the drain), Nello specchio (in the mirror).

For "nel", nel comes before other masculine words beginning with a consonant.
Ex: Nel giornale (in the newspaper), Nel mondo (in the world), Nel documento (in the document), Nel burro (in the butter).
This really helped me! I hope it helps you and anyone else! :)

[MichelleRe20]

That nel was bloody hard to hear

[jmactier]

I said "in butter" and not "the" butter but I think that's splitting hairs.

[rilianxi]

yeah articles are confusing between languages.

[zorr.a]

I have to keep myself from typing in "burrito" every time I see "burro".

[MaiaChoat]

Mum I found my phone!

[rilianxi]

nel means both in and on.

[hojicha615]

Where's Sherlock where you need him?

[julopezsuagm.edu]

In THE butter is wrong. In butter is the right choice

[hscheffer]

why can't i say "IT'S in the butter"?

[greenowli]

like dip the lobster in the butter

[mdecoster]

When played slowly she say "nella" or "nelle" not "nel"

[Nicole_Di_Kansas]

Rosmarino è aglio nel burro! Deliziosa!

[Nicole_Di_Kansas]

It's called compound butter --burro composto

[AuntieE]

Eho ever heard of in the butter

[Fat.Red]

There is a fly in the butter. There is less salt in the butter than before.

[AuntieE]

She slurred nel I did not understand her.

[SimoneKeal]

What could be in the butter?

[MaxwellAlv3]

"Burro" in portuguese means "Donkey". At the first look it looks funny. :)

[EssoFares]

Is this sentence really used in Italian often?

[lherme_juliao]

In portuguese (Burro=donkey) hahahaha lol

[GabiValeMedina]

In Spanish the same XD

[lpowers05]

Why does it have to be in the butter? Why isn't on the butter correct?

[nathalie.n2]

What is the difference between "Nel" and "Nello"?

[AR_Elsherbiny]

What could probably be in the butter? I am imagining a conversation between two ladies and one of them asks the other one; what is your secret ingredient and she replies: il segreto e nel burro

[ltrYfYXM]

what is the difference between in the butter and on the butter .

[MitchialStones]

Where are the insects? In the butter!

[Captain-Noodles]

Found my contact lens

[cavedan12]

Hi, what would be the correct way to say "on the butter"?

As I always seem to get "on" and "in" mixed up.

Thanks!

[deactivated user]

So "nel" can mean "on" or "in" depending on context?

[johnfornari]

According to the drop down under "Nel" it means "in" or "In the" or "On the". Being as I always see foreign objects on "my" butter instead of in "my" butter I tried "On the" butter. It marked me wrong. What is up with that?

[AnthonyC77]

This isn't last tango in Paris!

[the_hussar]

A worthy successor of "Nello Zucchero"

[James422947]

Sounds like "bollo". Weak audio!

[AnthonyC77]

Brando said this during last tango in Paris

[Philip253189]

She says nella

[MaraCristi719563]

Se escucha bajito

[GabiValeMedina]

XD XD XD XD "Burro" in Spanish is "donkey" XD XD XD

[William777777]

The computer is telling me this means "the butter" not "in the butter".

[Richard266241]

In Mexican Spanish that would literally translate into "No, Donkey! "

[JamesCondo3]

I played it several times. It sounded to me like mela burro. Being a southern US transplant I finally decided on the improbable "apple butter" This lady has trouble with the ending of some words and also with "gi" which sound more like an Engish "d" rather than a "j". Is this dialect variation?

[Snow_Lunar]

Every time I type in burro, I think of burritos. Just me?

[Sophiekoala17]

Why was "on the butter" not accepted? 1. It coukd have been a typo. I is next to o on a qwerty keyboard
2. I thought nel meant both in and on

[kurbin64]

Why is "on the butter" wrong? It says nel can mean "on the" so i tried it and duolingo said it was wrong. Help!

[kurbin64]

So I put "on the butter" because it said that is what nel means also and something could be on the butter so its not a weird sentence. Either way it said i was wrong, why?

[herredave]

Le formiche sono nel burro.

[Lulg1M]

Seriously, how the hell do you get this one right when you can't roll your 'r's

[RebeccaZamoloFp]

I keep mixing up birra and birro.
Its so agrivating especially because duo puts the questions next to each other. Any tricks?
