"Zuppa al pomodoro"

Translation: Tomato soup

[meryfigueroa]

sounds like "bluppa" al pomodoro, in fast and slow version

[boldsirrobin]

I heard it as "lupa al pomodoro" which would be an exotic dish indeed: tomato she-wolf ;-)

[maxsto2]

Try playing the sound about 10 times and you will get it right every time.
Works for me.

[siebolt]

Try to hear: "dzuppa"

[strahil]

Sounds like "druppa" to me.

[Margaret494508]

sounds like pomadoro not pomodoro

[Chaaaarlotjeeee]

Why is it "al" and not "di"?

[Cicon1]

al means it has the flavour of something. di is used if it is the main ingredient. E.g. Succo di limone = lemon juice
/ il gelato al cioccolato = chocolate flavoured icecream

[yarahnaomi]

But tomato is the main ingredient in tomato soup.. or is this some kind of cheap tomato soup with only tomato flavour? xD

[nkwk88]

Thanks

I think that the audio is fair enough, my italian cousin understands it perfecctly. We cannot hear as well as him because we are learning italian, we are not native speakers.

[yarahnaomi]

Why is it zuppa al pomodoro and not zuppa di pomodoro? Because tomato is the main ingredient..

[nik2311]

the audio on this course just seems to get worse and worse. i do wish that duolingo could do something about it. several times I have confused a simple "il" for "un" simply because I could not hear it and was obviously marked as being wrong. this course compares very unfavourably with the Spanish.

[BrunoCruz16]

I heard frupa al pomodoro.

[bengalidon]

why is "soup of tomato" a wrong answer?

[Duo495904]

Почему ответ "a tomato soup" - ошибка?

[kevinarts]

why is it not just: zuppa pomodoro? instead of: zuppa al´´pomodoro. I thought thatal´´ was ``at the´´?

[Muttley_]

When talking about food, al has the meaning 'with the', 'made of', 'with the taste of', and several others (spaghetti al dente is not spaghetti made of or with the taste of tooth :-) ). There is no point of trying to make sense of it. It is just an expression :-)

[Mauarus]

That answered my question, thank you.

[StephenWHS]

Does it not mean Tomato in the soup?

[insomnia.aleks]

why "soup with tomato" is wrong answer?

[Portal_Genius]

It is incorrect because your way means there is a tomato next to the soup, while the meaning of the sentance is the kind of soup.

[TheQueenElsa]

So now there's no "The" tomato soup

[antonijak]

The audio in italian course is generally bad, the voice doesn't speak clearly in many cases. German course is much better.

[Katka810565]

"Soup from tomatoes" is noc acceptable...?

[JuanCarlos243696]

I dont know whats wrong on soup from tomatoes... Thats exactly what we had to translate word by word :)

[Copicsntea]

I thought the word for tomato was just "tomato"

[alexandra217403]

oops

[SAJosiahF2]

Why would they put the extra al there????

[j.hank]

Can "La zuppa al pomodoro" be admitted for the practice's sake? Geez.

[Diana451453]

The narrator on here tends to say “ suppa” rather than zuppa. I have heard from an Italian friend that it is regional thing. People in the south tend to say a more “s” sound and the ones in the north use a more “z” sound. Has anyone else heard of this...?
