"Mi sono preso una giacca nuova ieri."

Translation: I got myself a new jacket yesterday.

[marliner]

duolingo's mouse-over definition of "preso" lists "taken" and "grabbed."

Of course, both "I have taken" and "I grabbed" are rejected.

I wrote: "I TOOK a new jacket yesterday." Literal translation not accepted. :-(

"Mi sono preso" is not "I was given"?

[thanatos43]

No, "mi sono preso" means "I got", "I bought", whereas "I was given" is translated as "mi è stato/a dato/a".

[gabor.kurdi]

"I bought" was not accepted :(

[ackworth]

neither was 'grabbed' even though it was in the drop down list of meanings whereas 'got'wasn't.

[FullRinse]

surely turning it reflexive translates more like "i got/bought myself a new jac..."
