      I is masculine. Le is feminine

        Why mangiano, and not mangiamo. Girls are a we, as a group of them. I keep getting this wrong.

        No, it's they, not we: The girls eat the cakes = They eat the cakes.

          Whooo! I feel proud. I have studied several other Romance languages, but I basically started Italian in good faith 2 days ago, and I conjugated correctly "from memory."

              Mangia vs mangiano seems inconsistent

                  What is the difference between "la" and "le"?

                    "La" is singular feminine, "le" is plural feminine.
