Masculine words beginning with Z, with S compounds and some special groups of consonants need LO instead of IL as article... Some examples:
lo zaino
lo scivolo
lo gnocco
lo psicologo
Therefore, you have here "nello zoo".
Is it because scimmia is a feminine noun? I think that's right but apologies if not
Duo just told me exactly this. "Lo scimmia" was accepted but with a note that it's feminine so it should be "la scimmia".
I not sure but I think from comments I read lo in used in words that begin with s or z ......???@-@$$
If you're using an Android phone long press the letter you wish to use & all of its accecented & various forms will appear. Even lesser used variations like these æ, å, ë, î, œ, ø & ü will be shown.
¿Por qué no vale monello?... Cuando parece lo más apropiado y está en las definiciones de aquí...
but i thought you use "lo" when the next word started with a "z" or "s+consonant"???
