"Dove ci vogliono portare?"

Translation: Where do they want to take us?

[StevenTew]

when I play the slow speed, it definitely says "si" and not "ci"

[Robmansell]

Yes I agree!

[crista_b]

Can someone explain why the "ci" can't be "it" here when it could for "Non ci posso credere"?

[itastudent]

In this case, "ci" means "us".

In the sentence "Non ci posso credere", "ci" means "it/about it"

[crista_b]

Right, but I don't understand why "ci" means "it" sometimes and can't be "it" other times. It doesn't make any sense.

[itastudent]

This should help you (although I found a few minor mistakes in some examples):

[crista_b]

Thank you so much! That's very helpful!

[SueWaller]

I'm the same - couldn't understand when ci means "it", and when it means "us"

[Marninger]

Dove = Where
ci = us (ci can also mean it, there or here)
vogliono = they want
portare = to bring (can also mean to wear or carry)

Where, us, they want, to bring ~ Where do they want to take us.

i agree

[dewluca]

This lesson has both prendere and portare translated as "to take". Can someone explain the difference? (the other example was Non lo prendere! == Do not take it!)

[ddonald77]

I believe prendere means just to pick up or grab, where portare is to carry, or take with you

[mbisson]

In English, "bring" and "take" are different applications -- bringing implies you have something you intend to bring from there->here; taking means you intend to take something from here->there. It's about the direction of the action.

I believe the Duolingo answer is incorrect, as portare means to "bring" and prendere means to "take".

What is the difference between "Dov'é" with the apostrophe and accent, and "Dove" without - every time I think I get it, I find a counter example!

[sp4mblob]

"dove" just means "where" whereas "dov'è" means "where is"

[JosianeRig1]

I am not able to speak the sentences!.THE POST GOES RED INSTANTLY,

Then just click "can't speak now".

Dove vogliono portarci?

[triplecanopy]

Is it just me, or are these sentences repeats of earlier lessons. I swear I've seen them earlier?

[RobertWill713455]

needs more of a plosive when pronouncing to "P" in portare. Otherwise it can be confused with a "C"

[Angie922492]

Where is the word "do" in "Dove ci vogliono portare"? How do I translate the word "do" into the given sentence?
