"I am the girl."

[-FM]

The font should be serif.

[RyanOkushi]

Why?

[mskycc3]

So that we can more easily distinguish between capital i (I) and lowercase L (l)

[RyanOkushi]

Ah. On my devices, the lowercase l always has a little bend at the bottom end. I guess I can understand.

[Shirall]

On my phone roes not have seriffs

[Gail455878]

Tu

[chiderah6th]

do you play minecraft

[Grumpyzzz]

The font you use is appalling, to distinguish between io & lo is virtually impossible visually. There are many good fonts to use that do not have this problem.

[Lolo98713]

I have exactly the same problem !

[Wiijimmy]

I don't think there will ever be a case in which you need to distinguish between Io and lo...

[Yashodhan_Bhatt]

whats the difference when I translate the above given English sentence as "Io sono la ragazza" and "Io sono il ragazza" ??

Kindly help whoever can...

[JakeSpace]

the latter is incorrect as 'il' is a masculine form of 'la' and therefore fails to match 'ragazza' (girl).

[martincho67]

La is feminine and il is masculine
Hope this helps :)

[laaltanasa]

You can't use il because ragazza is feminine because it ends with an a. Il ragazzo, la ragazza.

[LaniLgetueGet]

The gender. il is masculine and la is feminine.

[CYRILMORGAN]

ragazza is feminine so the article must also be feminine

[Shar_Maine]

That should be "Io sono la ragazza(correct because both the article and the noun are both feminine)
The other sentence should be "Io sono il ragazzo"(masculine singular)

[Cole358238]

One is male the other is female

[Franco_Incitti]

NOTE: There's no difference between "io" and "Io"... They are the exact same word, it's just hard to distinguish between a lowercase "L" and an uppercase "i" with the font DuoLingo uses. "Io" is just "io" written with a capital "i".

[rohan013]

Is there a difference between 'io sono' and 'sono' ? sono means 'am' but the usage is tricky

[luistamz]

there is not difference, its optional. =3

[RyanOkushi]

Yeah, the io in front of sono is always optional; It's like Spanish

[Torino1Ass]

You can decide to use the article or not, but imagine someone asking a group of people where they are coming from. You my answer "Io sono italiano" (I am italian) because it's your answer and it's specific and others can be different.

[oarancio]

I am confused on the difference between io and lo can someone help??

[RyanOkushi]

io means I in English; lo means the in English.

[Cecilia_42]

I think you are talking about io with a capital I and not lo. "Lo" is a male article (like "the" in English), while "io" (no difference with the one with the capital, it was nust at the beginning of a sentence) means "I"

[LindaMarti3]

I keep typing it correctly, but it says it is wrong.. very frustrating!

[chris1301]

Are z's pronounced as s's

[Berto29441]

the Z has two possible pronounces, different from the two possible pronounces of s.

[MaryMcCoy9]

Can't start sentence with lower case

[Nancy57325]

Several times my answer is correct and you say it is not, why?

[Tricia583453]

Same thing happened to me

[RosieRowel]

Got correct but stuck on this question

[TenaRose]

I submitted many complaints because of the confusion with what looks like"Lo...lo" but it's actually "io...Io"....

[aniana24]

Why bimbma??? I think the girl is la donna

[KarlYoung2]

Donna is woman, raggaza is girl

[Berto29441]

ragazza...

[PSSAzulHie]

Different font option please

[luisa.bena]

Why bimba ? You have learned that you have to type ragazza , an not bimba its weird

[RenataDosA1]

[alarkin2]

I wrote this sentence and it kept saying I was wrong

[gio492642]

Me too. Now i am stuck.

[Kellee742637]

Same here and its very upsetting

[RonaldMend689130]

Lo sono la

[Berto29441]

No: it's an "I", not a "lo"

[sharon304993]

Thank you for the clarification between lo and io...i misread the letter because of the capitalization

[gio492642]

I am typing lo sono la ragazza but the program insists that it is incorrect.

[Berto29441]

"LO sono "means nothing

[Cheryl805910]

I type the correct answer to this and one other sentence and it says it's wrong!

[Tina129925]

I keep typing it correctly but it will not let move on

[yousaf746947]

It's correct

[Caroline395430]

I amswered lo sono la ragazza and it was wrong and they said the correct answer was lo sono la ragazza. I am very confused.

[Berto29441]

because it's "io" ( = I), not "lo"

[Tom422448]

Why worry when on phone

[Georgia887075]

.

[emilio.catalina]

No

[linguist972]

[jml255324]

[Patriciaar218339]

[EdlawitDem]

[DenisMarch10]

That's a joke??

[alexis376250]

it said it was wrong but this was the answer?

[MorganJame403396]

This lesson is giving me fits, it will not let me get past this sentance. Very frustrating! ! No matter how i type the answer

[Kate585862]

Does customer service read these posts. I keep getting i am the and i translate correctly but the program says it's incorrect but the correct version is the same as what i wrote. Does anyone know how to get out of the loop without closing out of the lesson?

[Taylor549440]

It continues to tell me that I am wrong when I put in the same answer. The question is to translate "I am the girl". I put "lo sono la ragazza". It says it is wrong but the right answer is what i continue to put. What is happening?

[cindy591096]

I got it right and it keeps saying its wrong

[iia56]

Whats wrong with it

[iia56]

I wrote exactly this and it said i was wrong. This is not correct

[billChorne]

I speel it right... Says im wrong...

[joanna525379]

Fix this

[Patricia704133]

It doesnt matter if its lower or upper case it still doesnt accept thw answer that is correct.

[Charlie879642]

My answer is exactly the same as your answer..right down to the capitals and full stops..so annoying..and it wont allow me to move onto next section

[Michelle272835]

I have the right answer 10 times but it says wrong answer?? Please explain

[iia56]

sometimes when you put io - the system recognizes as lo. I had that problem on my phone.

[ghassan12344]

i love chirstiano ronaldo

[omauno]

Would it be correct to say "Sono la ragazza, io" if I want to emphasize that he subject is "io"?

[MadMatt101]

Did anyone else accidently type in french instead of italian......no just me okay.....

[Christa490640]
