"I wanna be a man, mancub And stroll right into town And be just like the other men I'm tired of monkeyin' around! Oh, oobee doo I wanna be like you I wanna walk like you Talk like you, too You'll see it's true An ape like me Can learn to be human too"
Regardless of what it sounds like it said, you should know by now that uomo is masculine
I knew that it should have been "un," but I heard "una" and followed what they said. .They do say "type what you hear," after all...
From a phonetic point of view, I can say that it's a phenomenon you should expect after a nasal sound like "n" (or "m"). The "u" that comes after simply "opens" a little —in phonetic terms, which means that the mouth makes a more open movement than it would in other circunstances—. She is not really saying "una", she's simply pronouncing a longer and more open "u" because the preceding "n" sort of forces the mouth that way. It's the same thing in spanish. Try it yourself and you'll see what I mean. :-)
Why an overachiever? I speak and write six and still I feel that I'm not doing enough, that's why I'm here.
I wonder...does butterfly have the same double-meaning in Italian as it does in English?
I thought it was "Come divento un uovo?' I laughed so hard when I found out the right answer
I think you are born a boy, and to become a man, a boy must grow, not just in body, but also in character. :)
Crush your enemies. See them driven before you. Hear the lamentations of their women.... (Conan the Barbarian reference guys... I'm disappointed.)

Why can't this mean " how do I get a man???" The meaning was to become, to get , to grow; but I don't want to grow a man…..

because in english "to get" by itself is "to grab/acquire something", and the dictionary wanted to convey the "to get big/fat/slim/well/ill" phrasal verb
Perhaps it could be "to grow (into) a man" or "to get manly", but I guess that's still not exactly the same thing.

Am listening too often!! Had it right - nearly - and then changed it to completely wrong, as I just couldn't understand the 'voice'.
You have to be swift as a coursing river, have force of a great typhoon, strength of a raging river, and be mysterious as the dark side of the moon.
"If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you...."
Precisely, as you age, your cells duplicate and you as such grow into what we know as men, or in a girl's case, into a woman.

My smartphone wants to become a man! I'm afraid the science has gone too far =8-(

Does anyone here know if the speaking component is only accessible via one's phone? It's not working on my computer. Thank you.

Should'nt the comments be about the text, grammar, vocab?
Silly commentary distracts from gettin' after learning italiano.
Il profesore
steveschwaby--if you learned a new phrase or idiomatic expression then i suggest the comment isn't silly. Aside from that observation, I and other users have often noted that humorous comments by users is one of the attractions of the site which keeps users coming back and gettin' after learning italiano.
Yes, it is good to have fun with learning, but some go too far with their comments which are useless and make you feel sick.
