"Venite allo zoo."

[Clarko95]

Since the "you" is dropped in the Italian translation, could this also be a command? Like, "Come to the zoo"?

[gyorgylige]

i think it is plural, the correct is may be: "you all come to the zoo"

[masterfynch]

yes it could, both answers are correct

[imblah]

It sounds like she's asking a question. Do these things ask questions?

[mateogj]

I answer 'are you coming to the zoo' and it was incorrect. why?

[gordon_gregory]

No question mark.

[BLPK]

i'm also wondering if this couldn't be an imperative? Or if in Italian it seems more likely imperative or declarative.

[gordon_gregory]

Yup, I agree. It's the imperative.

[Marshame]

how would you say "you go to the zoo"? I keep thinking vado and va mean go, rather than come.

[petrajan]

You are right: vado and va are forms of the verb andare - to go, but venite is the 2nd plural of the verb venire - to come. 2nd plural of andare is andate.
