I think "pasto" was meal, and "pasta" is pasta. Either way, I thought the voice was really hard to hear on this one. Sounded like she lisped her way through "pasta".
pasto is meal and pasta is pasta and your right i could barely hear her
Pasto means meal. Pasta is pasta. Notice when you go to an italian restaurant and the menu has a section for "Anti Pasto". Anti is before, and pasto is meal. "Before the meal"
Hence, appetizers :)
In the beginning of the lesson "pasta" was translated as "dough" and now you don't accept "The dough is on the plate"?
i think it is because dough could mean pasta, bread, pizza.... and we dont eat bread in a plate, for example. I am not a native speaker, but i think it depends of context
dough means pasta but the raw one (impasto), once you cook it it becomes pasta, pizza, bread, a cake...
It would be nice if Duo supplied some congugation charts for us. Endings, articles, etc.
Does 'nel' mean 'on the' or 'in the'? I answered 'The pasta is in the plate' and it corrected me to 'The pasta is on the plate'.
"nel" means "in the", "on the" means "sul" but i think you can use both of them in this case
When to use nel, nelle, nello, and any other form of nel- ? Please & Thank you

Thats what i thought. I put "in the plate" thinking it was a direct translation but got it wrong
We all know in should be nel, but when you continue to pronounce it Nella in the examples in is not only confusing but misleading to English speakers.
