"Nel burro"

[BilboBaggins0135]

Maybe that's where I left my keys!

[linaa_95s]

Lol

[Kevin968039]

What is: where did that fly go?

[MariadelCa703168]

Ha ha ha

[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.

[rena_dim]

inside the butter

[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

[YQrN1]

an operation on a donkey, obviously!

[Funest]

I am from Brazil, me too.

[JosiasCarlos11]

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

[Funest]

É sim, cara, desculpa a demora.

[mandyaqui]

Me too!!!

[Rhonda_Lehman]

Likewise. If it was Spanish, it would correct!

[Scarletrosierose]

hahahahha

[JonathanMe278983]

Same

[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 !!

[Chiu1551]

I heard "nella" too.

[iiZachIverson]

"I think I found the Horcrux, Ron!"

[MartnRoque]

Bam! Right in the butter!

[nodgeohara]

Toast crumbs

[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

[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".

[hojicha615]

Where's Sherlock where you need him?

[MaiaChoat]

Mum I found my phone!

[AuntieE]

She slurred nel I did not understand her.

[rilianxi]

nel means both in and on.

[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"

[MitchialStones]

Where are the insects? In the butter!

[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.

[dc5523]

Exactly what would be in the butter?

[RafaqatAli1]

Nel burro

[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?

[GuiJu]

In portuguese (Burro=donkey) hahahaha lol

[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 .

[Nicole_Di_Kansas]

Rosmarino è aglio nel burro! Deliziosa!

[Nicole_Di_Kansas]

It's called compound butter --burro composto

[Sean_cmc24]

Why in the butter?

[-Libertalia-]

Found my contact lens

[H.G.Stolk27]

Sounds inappropriate..

[cecilianor15]

Ok

[cecilianor15]

Oh I made a mistake with nel

[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!
