"I write a book."

Translation: Io scrivo un libro.

[MissLeigh04]

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

[Holo_bliss]

Its so annoying when it does that

[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.

Thanks.

[gunbladerq]

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

[diegobm11]

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

[willimancilla]

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

[Corien162]

Wonder if people of Duolingo even read the comments

[Deidre493744]

[BriannaCar212020]

I typed this right and still got it wrong

[Gonzalo39458]

Ok

[Glin809169]

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

[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

[DarrienMcF]

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

[Holtbest]

It is not lo it is io
