All these sentences about bears must be preparation for an upcoming Russian language addition.

Just la/le/il/i. "Loro" isn't a vowel or an impure "s".

Copied and pasted from something I found:
"lo/gli" only happens before the following:
vowels
z-
gn-
ps-
x-
The "impure s" is s + any other consonant, like
sp-
sq-
st-
etc.

You won't find bears in most of Italy: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marsican_brown_bear

I was thinking the same thing! Certainly one of the most threatening. Everyone's talking about how useless this sentence is, but if it ever does come up in conversation I'm sure you'll be glad to know it...

Well, at least it's not "My bear is hungry." Talk about threatening ;P

Probably the least likely used sentence ever.... If I go to Italy and use this sentence I will pay you $100.00

Every sentence is not useful. It is just for familiarizing with words.

The important part of this sentence is to teach that the article will accompany loro

Well, if "la tue anatra e la mia cena," maybe I could share with the bear. Oh wait, my cook ate most everything in my house. Even mi torte!
For the same reason that in English we say "a snowy owl" when without the adjective it should be "an owl." "L'" is akin to "an" in this case.
Correct! "ha" comes from the verb avere, to have. "è" comes from the verb essere, to be. In Italian, the idiom for being hungry is "has hunger" as opposed to the English "is hungry."

The idiom in English is "to be hungry," but the idiom in Italian is "to have hunger."

Hmm - earlier I learned how to say "You are drinking my cat's milk" in Swedish. I still haven't learned how to order a cup of coffee in either language! I hope things improve soon....

I must confess that I only came here because I knew there would be some amazing comments. I was correct. LOL
Is there a hidden translation for "orso" in italian like "hairy husband"? Just asking. (I need friends, sorry)

Because in Italian they say "to have hunger" and not "to be hungry".
