"Il gatto mangia l'uccello."

Translation: The cat eats the bird.

[mikeymignogna]

poor bird...

[elayazz]

Sylvester is a real prick

[tuess]

He is the poorest cat in the world, right after Tom

I Thought I Saw A Putty Tat!

[Kevin968039]

I did, I did taw a puddy tat!

[sparkle622085]

Funny

[Kevin968039]

Bad 'ol puddy tat

[lisyaorancrazed]

yes, the sentences got very violent very fast.

[-Libertalia-]

I got "I cut the girl" in a different practice

[Santeoni]

[BampaOwl]

Nature red in tooth and claw. Now what's that in Italian ...

[PHScanes]

poverino

[Hector290697]

In context, "poverino" is "pobrecito" (Spanish)/"poor thing"?

[Chinmay.Dhawan]

Use some nice phrases, Duolingo like cat and bird eat together

[Vid.Dinjaski]

Impossible combination

[astrid__vegan__]

No it is not, i had a bird, a cat and two dogs and they all roamed freely in my house.

[astrid__vegan__]

And i agree with Chinmay that some questions here at duolingo should be peaceful and ethical. It would be nice if this would be a safe place.

A sentence like "i have a lion" is also not good, as there are always people that start to think about that and want a lion or other wild animal in the house. Many animals get killed whilst being smuggled to pet "lovers" (not) like that. Many animals lead horrible lives in small cages because of that.

Be creative and make ethical sentences, we can still learn italian (and other languages just as well!)

[wilderBoar]

you should talk to the cat, make it see the light

[enilevkay]

"I tot I taw a putty tat". Tweety is smarter than that.

[nips.ahoy]

rip birb

[JolaDzoku]

I wrote the cat eats the bird :( and it was incorrect D;

[Juliogmz1939]

This time, I wrote the same and was right

[GerryAalders]

Me too

[kulwinders659628]

I too.. but giving wrong

[Kaila88828]

Same

[JulieCamillacci]

the cat didn't eat the bird, he simply killed the bird and gave it to his owner as a sign of respect XD

[cave_felem]

No, he gave it to his owner because humans are too dumb to hunt.^^

[astrid__vegan__]

Hunting is dumb.

[_GreenGiant_]

Violence!

[Ralimousssa]

is an energy against the enemy

[BraidieJayde]

Poor birdy

[DanVeeee]

R.I.P Bird. -2016 Lest we forget.<3

[GrayBasenji]

And that, children, is natural selection

[Darth_Khan]

That is pretty morbid don't ya think.

[Marymaryx]

Badass duolingo

[MarcelloNo3]

Douche Bag cat!

[screscenti]

It's about time that lazy cat did something productive!

[Mackenzie6969]

Violence is never the answer kids

[valyo8]

That's the reality, no matter we like it or not. The stray or village cats eat birds and cute mouses. Nobody gives them Wiskas... Other smart sentences like: "Gli uomini scrivono nello zucchero" require more comments, I think. For suggesting it is normal to waste the hardly produced sugar for writing in it...

[borovinkovna]

Bruh - took me a while to find one normal comment here, that doesnt talk abt "the poor bird" :D

[marymaryboberry]

:(

[Pardre]

I'm unsure as to why 'cock' was suggested as translation, but incorrect when I used it...

[Maggie314]

The ❤❤❤❤❤ (cat) eats the cock...?

[Muttley71]

Uccello is slang for 'cock' (not the bird)

[fyeezarose]

i don't get it. il gatto - the cat, instead of the cats ? isn't gatto plural and not singular?

[Maggie314]

No, the plural of "cats" is either "i gatti" or "le gatte." "Il gatto" is singular.

[gunce1]

Life is not cartoon film.

[hilmermelg]

how do i know when to use "il" and "l"

[lisyaorancrazed]

l' before vowel

[JuliaNnerd]

I never noticed that. Thank you! Have a lingot :)

[vincemat]

Cats really do want to take over the world, don't they

[EricEricks1]

You gotta eat!

[Ruth377864]

While the monkey reads....

DUO NO!!!!!!!!!!

[wildflamer17]

My cat(s) were outdoor cats and mauled all sorts of things - birds, lizards, plants - we even found this huge dead rat on our doorstep once 0-0

[sydneyr11]

Poor bird

[GRACEPETERSON14]

poor bird

[deactivated user]

Poor little fella.
Oh well. The Circle of Life takes everything at some point.
May he rest in pieces. Oh, did I say that? I meant peace. ;)

[Gatu77]

Well, cats are not vegetarian and these little predators occasionally practise their hunting skills.. It's life, guys.

[I-AM-THE-LEGION]

Ugh...another hateful sentence.But unfortunately,it's the sad reality :*(

[cynkk_7]

<h1>duo you're next</h1>

[GerryAalders]

O no, leave the bird alone

[CocoD]

I now had this same sentence three times... <is there a point in this?

[Lisagnipura]

A good way to learn a language is through repetition. Then repeat.

[mukkapazza]

Did it show up three different ways? Multiple choice, translate from English, translate from Italian...?

[TheGandalf]

I too have gotten it at least 4 times in a row, in different forms, translate from English, translate from Italian, listen and type in Italian, and multiple choice...... I think I get the point. :P

[fdgraeve]

4 times as well, must be some kind of mistake. Weird that people mentioned this as long as three months ago and no-one took action...

[criscarmi]

This is not unusual in Duo, as long as it shows up in different ways (multiple choice, translate from English, translate from Italian..). If the repetition were identical THEN you'd want to report it!

[BampaOwl]

Lately (since hearts disappeared) DL does seem to be over-repeating - at least on the Android App. If you make a mistake in a lesson, it asks you the same questions more times (not just the one you got wrong). I have even had the same question asked in exactly the same way twice running!

[natashhha]

I couldn't understand that it said "Il" gatto and I wrote un gatto. dang it. even in the slower audio it's hard to tell. OHWELL

[jakelee12]

If you click on the microphone then on the sound thing to repeat what it said it will do this part for youm

[DrWholockHolmes]

no I didn't!

[415-240-9365]

that's one huge bird.... or kitty taking his time!

[gigi871611]

Gross

[Harrison_M]

I got this sentence twice in a row. It happens quite often that very similar or the same sentences appear in quick succession.

[George047]

It sounds like luccello

[KKFusionKaran]

Somehow I think of Tweety bird

[DanielRaid]

Io uccello, gatta per cena

[Hallucinog]

(*)

[karinakvyat]

it fixed mine to "gatta" what the hell

[Learner10234]

REST IN PEPPERONI

Mean old puddy tat

[emmaaa26]

I thought cats ate mice...\

[EricEricks1]

They eat birds and fish as well.

[415-240-9365]

Wtf every letter is corrrect.
True a period but this is languages not pronunciation

[orwyne]

I thought I saw a ❤❤❤❤❤ cat....

[cheenychoo]

[gabyeatsbutts]

[Dguy]

Wow, that's a bit disturbing. As others said, "povero eccello."

[DgennyS]

It offered me that cat eats a dick... I'm not spoiled but....
