"They read some newspapers."

Translation: Leggono dei giornali.

[garronar]

So apparently "qualche giornali" is incorrect while "qualche giornale" would be correct? Can someone explain the rules for the use of qualche here?

[f.formica]

Qualche means "some" in positive sentences, "any" in interrogative sentences, and it can't be used in negative sentences. It always needs a countable noun in the singular (qualche giornale).

Thank you f.formica for always being available and providing such clear answers with very good examples! Grazie tante!

[Arnold355580]

"some" in the sentence is not given as a choice

[Anna678613]

Why is "loro leggono di giornali" not acceptable? We were taught that "loro leggono giornali" is OK, it doesn't necessarily need the article. Does this Italian form for "some newspapers" strictly suppose that it's the newspapers and not just newspapers without an article? What am I getting wrong here?

[XlUi8bZ7]

I used loro leggono and it was marked as correct.

[LorenzoLM]

It should be dei giornale not di

loro is optional, but not wrong

[James_1986]

Why is "Loro leggono" wrong as apposed to just "leggono" being correct? I thought both would be acceptable.

[Aryeh.Kahn]

What is the difference if you use or omit loro from the sentence?

[Joe920387]

There isn't one, the subject pronouns are just often dropped before a verb

[Jana334469]

Normally you shouldn't use it. If you do, it means you want the accent to be on they/loro

[SilviaGema2]

They uguale loro, essi, esse.

[MoosieLorenzo]

I put "lord" in front on leggono and it marked it incorrect why??

[Luna825544]

Am I the only one who sees the hints in Japanese? :-o
