"I write a book."

Translation: Io scrivo un libro.

[MissLeigh04]

I typed this right and it told me wrong......

[KKFusionKaran]

Did you type "Lo", "lo" or "Io"?

Be careful with that. It's a common beginner's mistake due to the font type used which shows upper case "i" that looks like lower case "l".

I
= Io

write
= scrivo

a book
= un libro

the book
= il libro

The book
= Il libro

Notice how similar the upper case "i" is to the lower case "l".

Happy e-learning on Duolingo.

"Io scrivo" and "scrivo" have the same meaning.

[diegobm11]

Yes, you don't need the subject for talking about any action in progress

[yoonhi2013]

Yes of course

[willimancilla]

Io scrivo and scrivo are the same thing and i got this problem wrong what the heck!!!!

[Curious_Soul]

Report it.

[monique692886]

"Scrivo un libro" was accepted

[Corien162]

Wonder if people of Duolingo even read the comments

[Deidre493744]

i had it right and it keep saying its wrong

[Gonzalo39458]

Ok

[DarrienMcF]

Why do i keep getting Marked down for writting Lo. It reads it as io for some reason

[brooks21230]

It is not lo it is io

[BriannaCar212020]

I typed this right and still got it wrong

[draM3l]

Hello, can someone please explain what the difference between 'un libro' and 'il libro' is...?

[monique692886]

Un libro = a book

Il libro = the book

[Stjepan19]

Why is not 'una libra'?

[robinsonjr]

Because books are males

[ElzevierJa1]

Cause book is a masculine noun, not men=males

[RemasAlmus]

It's libro. There are masculine nouns and feminine nouns, this is aomething in most languages. Book in Italian, libro, is a masculine noun, therefore ending with "o" instead of "a"

[ElzevierJa1]

Cause that's another thing like saying thung or thing

[Glin809169]

I wrote same things but why the programme said me "wrong"

[hibanajmi]

WHAT is the difference between "scrive", "scrivo", and "scrivete"??????????

[RebecaMart50717]

Yeah, when I have a typo it tells me that I have a typo, but it puts it right for me! I'm so sorry for you guys. It's really actually not fair for you guys. But, I'm truly sorry. (Like my comment and give me a lingot) :-) And it's actually very weird ???? And I'm really sorry, and again please, like my comment.
Sincerely, Rebeca (that's my name)

Si scrivo il libro

[midalanguage]

Hi :)

[DanaLowry2]

Scrivo un libro was not accepted. Spanish and Italian sentences frequently omit the subject pronoun. If I had a dollar for every error, inconsistency, or hallucinogenic answer I've encountered in the 19 Duolingo courses that I take, I could buy a sailboat with a satanic owl stenciled on its side. Oh, and now you have to use the gems that they used to give you when you had a top-three finish to practice the 20pt. review questions. Is Kafka the CEO...?

How do you add an accent above a letter when you're doing the course via my mobile phone?
