"Lei mangia pesce."

Translation: She eats fish.

[Mt.Etna]

They don't also say it could be you eat fish in the formal

[Metatron36]

If you mouse over "lei" it also says "you-formal"

[Tillo879998]

Why doesn't "pesce" need an article here? I just learned that in Italian you always use articles?

[israahanafi]

lei also goes for he or she in formal language

[Panana25]

Why not "a fish"?

[grey84093]

I am confused it should also be you eat fish

[Duolessio]

You are right, report it if it does not accept it.

[HansOrion]

why "pesce" is masculine? :/ it ends up with "e" and i thought it would be not :/

[Duolessio]

Some nouns end in -e and can be either masculine or femenine.

[MichaelDru420053]

Why is the sentence "She is eating the fish." an incorrect response?

[DeniseD542]

Would just "mangia pesce" also be correct?

[benton.1]

Yes, it would be grammatically correct. But, if that were the only thing said, with no other context, we would not know if "he eats fish, she eats fish" or "it eats fish" was meant.

[Kilcraze]

Im quite confused about that pesce translation, is that third translation slang or is it an actual translation cause I'm pretty sure cock (as in the male chickens) is not "pesce"

[RobertL7]

I also think it might be slang for male genitalia..

[Duolessio]

Did it really suggest "cock"?! :D

Pesce means fish. But yes, in some parts of Italy it's also used as slang for male genitalia.

The Italian for "cock", as in male chicken, is gallo and it's not used as slang. However, we can use uccello (=bird) for the second meaning of "cock".

[PinkPanda883305]

No worries I am too

[ItalyMadame]

How was the fish?

[PinkPanda883305]

Cool

[PinkPanda883305]

Hi

[Lei-woomy]

Does that mean she's a peskaterian (is that how you spell it)

[Humbert569536]

sometimes there is an article, sometimes not, in the same kind of sentences of course. Why ? I don't understand
