"Non leggo libri."

Translation: I do not read books.

[VipulKapoo]

On a 15 day streak here and I still dont know how to say "I'm learning italian" :p

[FabioTharwat]

"Sto imparando l'italiano", not "Io sono imparare ilationo".

[charm22]

Why isn't the article needed here to express something in general?(libri). Thanks in advance.

[knitnw10]

Io sono imparare ilatiano, but I normally leave the 'Io (I)' out

[MartnRoque]

Imparo italiano o sto imparando Italiano. "somo imparare italiano" translates to "I'am learn italian"

[Asharii]

When is it acceptable to do that? That is one of the points that I am struggling most with learning Italian.

[MartnRoque]

Basically when the verb next to Io is in first person.

[RosabelleM3]

Lol io learning italiano language

[RosabelleM3]

"Sto imparando l'italiano" here you are...

[cathbot]

I heard the audio as 'No, I read books'. The word 'non' is indistinct on audio.

[mooviies]

Yeah but I think that in front of a verb it is usually non. No would not make sense.

[logica]

"No, leggo libri" could be a sensible answer to "leggi giornali?"

[rmscottijj]

bravo!

[logica]

I had exactly the same problem and wrote 'No, leggo libri', because there also seems to be a pause after the 'No(n)'.

[GScottOliver]

Yes, the female voice especially has a tendency to minimize (or entirely elide) that second "n". I have to listen to the turtle speed to make sure whether it should be there.

[AriW1977]

Just like Kanye West, who is proud of his status as a "non-reader of books."

[Pherenice]

How could you not though?

[CatMcCat]

Yes, and she sounds very proud of it too!

[Nicole_Di_Kansas]

I hurt to be forced to write that.

[Josephineeee]

Do you mean by saying this 'im not reading books at this moment.' or 'i never read books.'?

[impercell]

That's a sad life to lead.

[Japphire]

why isn't it "i libri" ? when do you use the article?

[iangdenning]

I said "They do not read books." Under certain circumstances, could this be correct?

[dnovinc]

No, that would be: "(Loro) Non leggono libri."

[ParaDoxSystemic]

Questo inglese fa tutto male! Perché non conosco inglese. Sono russo. E non c'è italiano per russi nel app

[robertosmillini]

What exactly are you trying to say? Do you having problems trying to express yourself in a clear and understandable way? Stop suppressing how you feel. Have a good cry, then spend much, much, much more time on Duolingo...practice more...then come back on with your rant in English it'll make you feel better.

[JenniferSh568797]

In English it is quite normal to say I don't instead of I do not!!!!!

[Erated8]

What Is This, That Guy From Holey Moley?

[Lupe437803]

do not and don't should both be accepted.

[JenniferSh568797]

I definitely agree!!!!!
