How do you put the accent mark over the e for is? When ever i try they say its wrong and when i skip it they mark it as right but say that i need an accent mark madonna mia! lol.
If youre on your phone you can press and hole the "e" and the first one should be the è

When in doubt, I always listen to the slow option, just to double check. It is usually clearer because it separates the words which is easier for my foreign ears. I am getting better at understanding the fast versions, though.

I'm not sure I understand your question, but I'll give it a shot. Just 'e' with no accent means 'and'. If you have 'è' it means 'is' as in "He/she/it is." I hope that is what you are asking. :)
yes thanks for that karen! so the `apostropie' doesn't go both ways above the E? thought i saw both in the options.. (maybe its for the other languages, like the upside down '?' in spannish) anyway Grazie.
ok lui=he and lei=she, but how about "egli" and "ella"? old italian or something?
A good way to remember the word 'lui' is to think "LUI, HE was a rich man"
Being hard of hearing an trying to learn a new language is very difficult. But being able to click on the individual words and also being able to hear it said all together is super helpful!
Think about the sound "wo" in world and the sound "mo" in mobile and put them together!
Nothing is silent! The u just becomes mixed with the letters around it so it can blend out, but it is definitely not silent.
In Italian, every vowel is pronounced as it's own thing - it's just fluency and speed that can make the vowels sound different when there are other letters around it.
I don't know exactly know how to put the 'apostrophe' over the E. I'm just glad it knows what I'm trying to say.

oh no! un si usa davanti ai nomi maschili inizianti per vocale (un armadio);
(UN+male nouns beginning with vowel)
- uno è utilizzato davanti ai nomi maschili che cominciano per (UNO+male nouns beginning with):
gn- (uno gnomo);
pn- (uno pneumatico);
ps- (uno psicologo);
z- (uno zaino)
y- (uno yogurt);
x- (uno xilofono);
i- seguita da vocale (uno iettatore);
s- seguita da consonante (uno sceriffo);
It's interesting to think the 'é' in portuguese it's a bit different compared to the italian one. Understandable, but diffent anyway.

We have both è and é in italian. È is the 3rd person of the verb to be, é is used to stress the accent of a word on the last syllable: ex: perché
Is e (with the accent) and e (without the accent) pronounced the same even though it can mean two different things? (is/and)?

Io = I Tu=You (singular) Lui=He, it(masculine) Lei=She, it(feminine) Noi=We Voi = You (Plural) Loro=They
un is for male and una for female. in english we have an apple and a mango so in Italic how would one say an apple or a mango. un mela or una mela?
how to identify when to use un and when to use una

you have to know which word is masculine and which is feminine. There is no simple rule to all, you will Handle with practice.
I got it wrong because I typed "He is a man" and it took me off because the right answer is "He's a man". They are exactly the same thing
Haha, they also have "wants" and "beer" in the sentence construction portion. I think "He is a man wants beer" should also be accepted :D
I translate, "He is a man", and the check says Wrong. This happened twice so far today.
Cant find anytging in my ohobe that will give me the e with tge accent on top?
Sometimes when I get a listening exercise I can't hear anything... There is just no sound...
I don't get the difference between 'the' and 'a' here. In every example it is different. How to know the difference?
when I get a question wrong, it would be good to reinforce the correct answer by having to select it to clear the board for the next question. My intuition keeps expecting that I am supposed to anyway.
can someone help me with the accents over the vowels? what are the rules.. grazie
Some spelling mistakes shouldn't be counted for as i put mam instead man..just a thought
It would be helpful to hear it again, and/or see the answer I had typed, after being told I'd got it wrong. I don't know if it is my memory, or my Italian, that is at fault
I got this correct..you show it incorrect..i dont have the keyboard to put apostrphe over the e.
I put in Lui e' un uomo. And it said it was wrong when checked answer says what I put in. Second time this has happened
"Lui" è sbagliato. La parola inglese "he", che è un soggetto, si traduce in lingua italiana con "egli".
I always think Lui souns like a male name and then I can remember its "He"...ha ha
I answered it correctly and it marked me wrong. I keep studying it to see what I did wrong. Maybe I didn't add the. At the end. I wonder if that matters?
I say that he is a man it's not taking my voice I can't do anything please help me and give me heart ♥
There is not in my phone the wright mark '. Which belongs upon e'. So it is impossible to continue stading
i keep getting this and putting in the answer and its correct but it acts as its wromg! i keep getting the same question putting in the same answer amd it acts as ita wrong so it kewps gibjng it to me and its not wrong! glitch !!!
non so che cosa vuoi sapere. scrivimi di nuovo la domanda. Grazie. Ciao.
Add Italian to the languages on your phone - I have both English and Italian recognised
I'm on my Ipad and the word "is" only pops up as é which is incorrect. I can't find the actual accent mark.
I can't get my keyboard to put the accent in the right place. I'm using my cellphone.
"He" è un nominativo, "lui" è un accusativo, Per me in buon italiano bisognerebbe dire: "Egli è un uomo."; questo perchè il soggetto della frase "egli" è un nominativo.
