"La tua anatra è la mia cena."

[HavardF]

This is my favourite sentence so far.

[maddyis7]

Wait until Adjectives 3, and you may enjoy 'The dead girl is that man's daughter.'

[wolfleis]

You spoiler :(

[ManarAsim]

Or 'the children draw on the shark'

[MishaFreak]

Poor guy

[maddyis7]

Poor Duck.

[Joseph839483]

This is my least favorite and you know why?..... because my favorite animal is a duck and I actually have a pet duck!?!?!? Poor anatra

[Ichigotchi]

Nothing is cuter than baby ducks. Nothing.

[uccio.123]

[Lautaro-]

It's horrible...

[GinoRingo]

No, not at all! If prepared well, duck is just....sensationally delicious.

[Fiona773021]

[PaulaMcNorris]

[DianaPealo]

This is the meanest sentence so far...

[Prof_T_Entee]

it is pretty mean. theres just one question: who has a DUCK as a pet?!

[Loxmi]

i had two of them. than a rooster attacked them and poked their eyes out... my granma eat them, true story.

[Shamshoomi]

Poor thing. That must have been a very traumatizing experience! Kindly accept my condolences for your ducks.

[Prof_T_Entee]

............................genuine proof that ducks are bad news, folks. A+ loxmi, A+

[MichaelWor9]

Chickens are bad news...roosters are really mean animals

[helmward]

Their eyes??

[violanemeth]

Chandler and Joey had one

[PugLove888]

Chandler & Joey also had a pet chicken! To this day I am still shocked Joey didn't eat at least one of them! 8-O

[Virma_J]

This sentence was pretty mean...Ray Rayner had a pet duck :) he was a big part of children's tv when I was a kid. He was a pretty cool dude.

[3lizzard]

Hahaha...How rude! I won't give la mia anatara to you

[aimeedeere]

In the spanish i thought "Mi oso bebe cerveza" which means "my bear drinks beer" was funny but Im beginning to see the true funny side.

[allyszuk]

Go to Danish for the really funny stuff

[iimakiii]

All the vegetarians who just read that, my condolences to you

[Sionel]

That's just a bit odd.

[KatieOakle]

Im lost for words

[Rewsen4]

Doesn't that belong to the flirting lessons?

[TheBestButter]

I honestly think this is my favourite sentence.

[Kgm_7]

Funniest sentence I have come across! :D

[Sinaguglia_5]

Where i come from we give duck to people as a piece offering, this would be extremely rude if someone were to say that

[Ennele]

I'm vegan and find lots of nasty sentences throughout DL

[Folkmetallara]

I know, it's often hard for us in this ignorant world. But have a little vegan lingot to make the learning bit easier. :)

[BrunAnimas]

Why "anatra"? Almost all the words sounds likely to Spanish or English, but this one is not related

[f.formica]

That's their fault, not Italian's :P English speakers at some point disused their word "Ened" (Old English, cognate to the modern German "Ente") and instead started using "to duck" as a noun (cognate to modern German "tauchen", to dive, to plunge). Spanish speakers instead currently use "pato", derived from the Arabic "batt". The Italian "Anatra" is a deformation of the Latin "anas", gen. "anatis".

[gnomekisses]

Love a real linguistically knowledgeable response

[mithwen_arataur]

German is my mother tongue, so this comment helped me a lot in finally remembering the italian word! Thanks :-)

[Lorenoide2000]

well that's sad :<

[haydee14p]

The voice recording is awful, I could not hear anatra and I listened 10 times

[MishaFreak]

Is that a threat

[Marzia230027]

This is horrible.

[OzrenIlic]

I don't understand this sentence. Isn't "anatra" masculine noun? Shouldn't it be "l' tuo anatra"?

[MMCK84]

No, it's "l'anatra" and has feminine gender. But because the article and the word anatra aren't side by side the article changes to "la" - so the usual feminine article

[Ron7710]

I can a duck when I was younger.

I will never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever eat a duck...

[stoprockandroll]

Do you eat pigs? They are quite smart, much more so then ducks

[Kat875]

Just when I thought that the sentences could not possibly get any weirder.

[Folkmetallara]

No duck or any animal should ever be anyone's dinner

[Ricardo147356]

That's cruel. I hope never need a sentence like this when I visit Italy.

[LinhTrun]

This comment section is my favourite thing on this website.

• Non mangiamo la mia/tua/sua/nostra/vostra/loro cena. (feminine singular)
