Are months not capitalized in Italian???


https://www.duolingo.com/profile/f.formica

No; not months, nor days of the week, nor nationalities.

If we don't count German where every noun is capitalized, I don't know any other language beside English that capitalizes months or days of the week.


https://www.duolingo.com/profile/dinkdomino

This is such a relief compared to German, where almost everything seems capitalised!

What's the different between "È agosto" and "Siamo a agosto"?


https://www.duolingo.com/profile/GRENDIZER.

"It is August" and there is no "Siamo a agosto" rather "Siamo in agosto" = "we are in August"


https://www.duolingo.com/profile/abbradley

Some of the translations here include the 'a' formulation, e.g. 'siamo a diciembre' - are those incorrect?

Why isn't IT'S wrong when IT IS is right? The greatest confuse of the course...

Having trouble understanding when to use "é" and when to use "è"... can someone explain the difference?


https://www.duolingo.com/profile/Pier_Golfoz

(I'm italian)
95% of italian words with accent use the left-facing accent ((grave)

"Perché" (why/because), ventitré (twenty-three) use the right-facing accent () (acute), but IMHO few people in italy know the real difference in pronunciation

Why can't you say 'C'è Agosto?'


https://www.duolingo.com/profile/sharkbbb
  • C'è agosto = Ci è agosto = There is August
  • È agosto = Ciò è augosto = This/that/it is August

https://www.duolingo.com/profile/nosola1

It said I typed in English not Italian, so did not show answer or let me by - I typed - E auguso - wrong but not English


https://www.duolingo.com/profile/Malaama

The pronunciation sounds the same for "agosto" and "è agosto". I just wrote the month first time and got it wrong. A little unfair.

    Months not start with a capital letter?


    https://www.duolingo.com/profile/Dalingo8

    Why would it start with a capital letter? This is neither English nor German.

    HELP! STUCK! Ended here last night. Writing in Italian but DL is seeing English. Reported it but nothing done yet. Should I put this sort of thing on the main forum as a glitch? I'll go through it all again on the www. to see if it's just the app.


    https://www.duolingo.com/profile/rob244586

    It works at www.
