"You drink."

Translation: Tu bevi.

[JustinGuy418]

Tu is singular you, while Voi is plural you. EX: If you were a coach and talking to a large group of your players and said "you have to.." etc., you would use voi.

[SzabolcsSz15]

And, similarly, if you were a space police officer talking to your wife, saying, for example, "you have to..." etc., you would use "tu". ;)

[Tehcarp]

Tu bevi or voi bevete. What rules are at play here?

[Beppe]

both tu and voi can be translated as "you" but tu is singular while voi is plural

[aisabellima]

how can we now that "you drink" is plural to say that the true answer is "voi bevete"?

[cwrighta70]

I agree. The question should be posed as "You drink. (pl)" or something similar.

[Mookeh]

Yes. Because this question did not correctly state whether or not they wanted plural, I selected both.

[Adalauhkuk]

I used Tu Bevi and also get correct. If Duolingo indicated this is a plural or singular You , then we will learn another rule.

[seaurchen]

So would you consider this problem to be incorrect? Since they didn't clarify if the "you" used in the english sentence as plural or singular...

[Beppe]

if it was not clarified if the "you" was singular or plural, both translation ("tu bevi" e "voi bevete") are grammatically correct.

[ph.tgAmN5]

The simple yet important rule is that tu is a singular and informal phrase while voi is a plural and formal phrase. Tu can be used with family and friends while voi is used by work purposes and to strangers.
Hope this helped.

Why is 'tu beve' not also correct?

[Beppe]

"lui beve" but "tu bevi" (and "io bevo" ...)

[Phoenix500399]

Verb conjugation; works differently with different nouns or pronouns.

[Claudia831202]

Is this explained better somewhere? These are the ones I get wrong. Mangi, mangia, the endings are what throws me.

[Dave305616]

I have the same issue with mangi, mangia and, bevi, bevete, bevo.

[Swapnil957303]

What is the difference between bevo and bevi?

[Theresa497780]

Bevo is me that is l am taking about myself

[AjIFSr]

Cool, I think that actually helps! Thanks!

[sammy321927]

Why is it bevi and not beve? I dont understand the 3 different versions of drinks. Beve, bevo, bevi whats the difference?

[Erin.s.c503]

Bevo - I drink

Bevi - you drink

Beve - he/she drinks

[kakkar-prerna]

Thanks!

[BigBrother4G]

While "You drink" = "Tu bevi," can I also answer with just "Bevi" = "(You) drink," just like with "Io sono..." = "Sono..."?

[Erin.s.c503]

Yes, that'd work too!

[18mleed]

Why is voi beviamo not correct for you drink, but voi bevete, and tu beve are?

[f.formica]

"Beviamo" is the first person plural conjugation, i.e. "we drink".

[18mleed]

Thanks:)

[Curious_Soul]

It's noi beviamo(We drink) and voi beveteYou (plural) drink

[Mrs.Fidgets]

[Niharikasi966349]

[Erin.s.c503]

No, tu bevi.
Beve goes with lui/lei - he/she drinks

[Aliesha84181]

Ive been getting confused

[AlonaFiand]

what is the difference between "beve", "bevi", "beva" and "bevo"?

[AjIFSr]

Why "bevi" and not "beve"?

[Ziaojian]

I believe "bevi" is used when referring to second persona for example you while"beve" is used when referring to third persona for example he/she/it

Am open to any corrections

[Jacqueline59300]

Thanks so much for the correction.

[HubertusSc3]

The internet says "bere" not "beve"!! What is correct?

[Aloma186412]

Bevi means drink while beve means drinks

[IreneMel21]

[f.formica]

The conjugation table for the verb is http://www.italian-verbs.com/italian-verbs/conjugation.php?verbo=bere

Bevono, bevete and beviamo are different flections of the present tense depending on the subject.

[IreneMel21]

Can anyone help me
How to use bevo,bevi,beve,... i am a bit confuse in how to use them

[Comet325]

bevo is for 'i drink', bevi is for 'you drink', and beve is for 'he/she drinks'. most things that have o at the end are for something you're doing yourself. most things with i at the end are for someone else doing something, and e for when you're talking about someone doing something.

[vipaolamorando]

I guess I just need to learn the vocabulary better
