I can't help but wonder if the girl announcing she's a butterfly is the same one who owns un delfino....
You guys think THIS is nuts? You should check out the Dutch course. They have sentences like "I am an apple" and "Good morning, juice!"
Ahh, such a nice morning. I can be nice to anything! Good mornin, mother! Good morning, brother! And, ahh. Good morning, juice!
WAT?!
There's nothing nicer than saying good morning to your juice, isn't there?
All of us can be something. My soon-to-be-ex-wife is being una mucca al momento. lol :)
It's fabulous XD Used this as my school's laptop's wallpaper, and when I was turning it in, the guy looked at this picture and said "Interesting wallpaper" XD
I finally know, why is the pasta with butterfly's shape called farfalle... My second discovery after caffe latte ;)
fargasch, "bow ties" are "cravatte a farfalle". I had no choice but to look it up!
Yeah, I figured "I am a noodle" wasn't correct, but didn't think through what the name of the noodle could mean. I've known "vermicelli" for years and would probably have guessed "bow tie" for the noodle if I'd been thinking, so learning that it's a butterfly is pretty neat.
ok..you made me curious about vermicelli so I put it into NICEtranslator and it came back "vermicelli" so then I thought I'd separate it into two pieces that looked like words "vermi" and "celli" and it came back "cat worms". I'm definitely never eating THAT again.
I don't understand what significance caffe latte has? Can you explain? I see " coffee milk" or "Milk coffee" is this some specific kind of coffee?
It's coffee made with a base of milk, not water. My husband loves it. Heat up milk in the microwave and disolve the instant coffee in it... too rich for me. Of course, that is not how it's made at coffee shops. They heat up a lot of milk wit the steaming wand, then pour in a shot of espresso (I think)

You would have to pour the milk into the espresso shot if you wanted to get any latte art out of it
Me too! Farfalle! My life will never be the same)) and what about latte? What is the secret?))
Hm, are you Zhuang Zhou dreaming he is a butterfly, or a butterfly dreaming it is Zhuang Zhou?

No problem for man to imagine being a butterfly in the Amazonas and by the strokes of his wings affect the ocean. In the musical ''The story of my life '' with music composed by Neil Bartram and text based on a book written by Brian Hill the imagination enriches life. It has been on Broadway and found its way to a small town in Sweden.

I don't mind the weird sentences because I want to be able to express any thought in this new language, not just memorize the useful ones, like I have for vacations in the past. For example, I have known how to say 'where is the bathroom' in Italian for years. :)
I think you mean Cocoon, where spiders eggs etc are laid. Cacoon is a seed from South America! lol :)
you couldn't get away saying this sort of thing at my school. You would be taken outside and given a right good thump
In Indonesian language, another word for female prostitute is "night butterfly" (kupu-kupu malam) So, to me it makes sense if you say I'm a butterfly :P
"I am a butterfly" translated to Spanish has a totally different slang meaning, too.

It is the same in Hungarian. There must be something "hidden truth"... :)
She sounds so happy; it's infectious. I found myself saying this one with glee kkkkkkk
Hmm, funny reading all the comments mimicking the "I am a butterfly" considering I've heard that "farafalla" is also used a slang/euphemism for something else....if only you knew what you were saying. Confirmation from native speakers?
Wow, Duo must be on some hardcore dr*gs. He's and owl, not a butterfly.
<h1>Wow</h1>Ooor, one of the DL programmers is a big Pixar fan. I heard in my head "I'm a beautiful butterfly." Surely no coincidence that there's also un serpente nello stivale.
Jestem motylek! Oh, this is the best day ever! What kind of butterfly am I? What color am I? Where do I live?
Oh... I'm a butterfly pasta. I'm beige, I'm on a plate, and I'm very cold. The kid I was served to didn't eat me because I'm whole wheat and the stupid cook didn't put tomato sauce on me. Now I'm going to the trash can... This is not the best day ever.
Doesn't farfalla mean something else in Italian slang? I am certainly not una farfalla then.
Is a word missing? Should it be I am LIKE a butterfly? In the spirit of the Ali quote "I float like a butterfly and sting like a bee"?
io sono un ragno grosso e mangio le farfalle per colazione, pranzo e cena! :)
my mom calls me the same thing! no way! doulingo you just made my day. lollllll!!!!
When writing a children's book, for example.
"The little butterfly fluttered over the meadow. A beetle saw it and asked, 'What are you? Are you a flying flower?' 'No,' the butterfly replied, 'I am a butterfly.'"

I could just as well be a bow pasta as a butterfly. So who's being judgmental here?
I am now a BEAUTIFUL BUTTERFLY. I TOLD YOU I COULD DO IT MOM!!! I. TOLD. YOU.
Of course, you are. Come here darling don't be upset. Mummy is gonna buy you an ice cream...

That's why butterflies talk in Italian ;) (Or dolphinian, but we cannot recognize that...)

Teacher: No. Celeana/Aelin: I wanna be the queen of Terrassen and stay true to the promise I made to Nehemia. Teacher: NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!#ThroneOfGlassBookSeries
Why does "una" sound like "un" here? Is it part of speaking I don't understand?
Yes, exactly -- butterfly-shaped pasta.
Or bow-tie-shaped pasta -- farfalla can also mean "bow tie".
BREAKING NEWS: Studies show that 3% of participants of the language learning website Duolingo are not actually people but butterflies!
This is what I told to my dad and he is happy about it. He accepted me for what I am.

Does farfala have the same slang meaning in Italian as does mariposa in Spanish?
