If I'm the voice lady, I will use magic to turn you into a sandwich, as you requested. Haha, you played yourself.
This cam directly after "Your duck is my dinner"...I think Duo is hungry :)
That would work as well, but it would have to be "vostri" because "panini" is masculine, not feminine.
panini is plural, yes, but you have the gender wrong. The sandwich = il panino (masculine)
'Le tue' refers to plural feminine. 'I tuoi' refers to plural masculine
In this case it should be 'I tuoi panini' for masculine plural sandwiches. ' Hope it helps
Hi there,, can some one tell me the difference between i tuoi and le tue for this question please,, have a great day,, Steve.

Italian is fairly regular. You determine whether a noun is masculine or feminine by how the word ends. There are a handful of exceptions, but for the most part this is pretty reliable:
-o masculine singular
-i masculine plural
-a feminine singular
-e feminine plural
Don't get hung up on the category names. Grammatical gender is 99% arbitrary.
Once you determine the gender of the noun, you alter the form of all adjectives that refer to it (including articles and possessives) to agree. This means that all possessives agree in gender and number with the thing, not with the owner. Regardless of who I am, it is always "la mia vacca" and "il mio toro".
I wish I could bookmark this, for now I've just taken a screenshot. Thank you
Non mi fa andare avanti...ho provato a dare tutte e tre le risposte ma mi si è bloccato

The possessives must agree in gender and number with what is possessed, not with who possesses the thing.
IO
il mio - singular masculine
i miei - plural masculine
la mia - singular feminine
le mie - plural feminine

For some reason, I read this with the voice of Daniel Day Lewis in my head. You know the whole "I drink your milkshake..."

That depends on how the question was presented to you. If it was multiple choice and you had both "...i vostri..." and "...i tuoi...", then you should select both of them per the instructions. If it was a dictation exercise, then if they say "... i tuoi..." then you need to write "...i tuoi...".
Otherwise, barring any typo you might have made but not noticed, Duo does sometimes glitch.

You can omit the subject pronoun 95% of the time. That 5% is almost always in the 3rd person, because one thing the verb does not tell you is the gender of the subject (or, rarely, if you're using the polite 2nd person form, which is grammatically 3rd person).

None of what are right? No one has any idea what your options were.
Also, it seems as though you were presented this as multiple-choice. It's possible that more than one was valid and you only chose one. In that case, it marked you wrong for failing to select all correct answers, as indicated in the instructions.
This lesson is wrong. If you pick one answer it give you the other. It changes the answer each time to the other

The instructions for multiple choice clearly say to select all of the correct answer choices, not just pick one of them.
