"L'anatra è un animale."

Translation: The duck is an animal.

[DonnaMarie]

Something is wrong with the normal speed recording.

[Rtyom2]

L'anatra è un uccello!

[confusedbeetle]

l'anatra as I understand it, but it is a bird!

[RDoubled]

Birds are animals. In biology you can study either zoology ( the animal kingdom which includes worms, insects,...birds) or botony (plants).

[I-AM-THE-STAR]

1.I am confused of the duck's being an animal or a bird!?

2.If it's an animal,then why do people eat ducks.So shameful :-(

[LordVenom17]

Duck lives matter

[KitBaby]

I'm not sure what you mean? Ducks are animals, and birds. All living organisms are called animals. Ducks are classified as birds due to having these characteristics:

1)Being Warm-Blooded.
2)Laying Hard-Shelled Eggs.
3)Having Two (Scaly) Legs
4)Having Wings
5)Having a Beak

I hear "la l'anatra", even when listening to the slow recording

[VipulKapoo]

I dont have the slow button. How do you enable it?

[confusedbeetle]

are you using the website or the app? I think there is a difference. You should see a turtle symbol

[cluecollector]

Why isn't it "un'animale"?

[confusedbeetle]

because animale is masculine

[JanePearse1]

very confusing - the duck is a bird

[Andrew48]

And birds are animals. Ergo, ducks are animals.

[BridgeToWisdom]

So the stress of “anatra” falls on the antepenultimate syllable?

[confusedbeetle]

Bridge, I don't think so I believe it is on the first syllable ANatra, This is supported by my dictionary and google translate pronunciation

[Miriam220166]

So confusing as the male voice puts the emphasis on the first syllable in the sentence, but as a single word (when clicking on the word) he says "aNAtra". ??

[jgalestep]

That was not a wrong word, but a typo

[Ashlar6]

Did anyone else have a hard time pronoucing this up to speed?

[markus943692]

The ❤❤❤❤ is an animal ;)

[Denise534217]

He is definitely saying la anatra
