Yesss

[LoicKho]

Why is one option "It is a wolf" and another one is "It is an wolf"? This is just testing your english, not your italian.

[crown_of_legends]

"It is an wolf" is no longer accepted ! 9/5/15

[marziotta]

Report the mistake. Probably some user suggested it and the system learned the "wrong" suggestion.

[shanehclark]

I think you only use an if the starting letter of the next word is a vowel

[LisaEeyore]

Yes that's right, or if the word sounds like it starts with a vowel, e.g. an hour

[GooberSlayer]

does the mythological wolf "Lupa" from the greek/roman (don't know which one)
have anything to do with the word lupo?or the other way around?

[DoumINO]

In bocca al lupo.

[infinitum17]

I typed "he is a wolf" and it said I was wrong. Would that not be an acceptable way to say "he is a wolf" in Italian?

[claudio1947]

Lui/egli è un lupo (man): HE is a wolf. Esso è un lupo (animal): IT is a wolf.

[KevinClark8]

..but the example is, simply, "È un lupo.". Can't that be interpreted as he, she, or it?

[BrunoZoldan]

In italian you can omit the article when the gender is already specifid by the ended vowel: "lup-o" masculine, "lup-a" feminine.

[Adriat1c]

No, the animals are always 'it' in standard English.

[Che-Figata]

Last words. Lol.

[italikaren]

It probanly thinks that he and she cannot be applied to animals...

[confusedbeetle]

I think italian language only gives gender to family pets and not other animals. I may be wrong but i am sure I has seen that distinction. Maybe our intrepid translator has assumed english has the same

[Faze_Meemen]

There is also Orso (Male bear), Orsa (She-bear)

[1949George]

I am having trouble figuring how to place the accent mark on top of E.

[chacham2]

There should be a button for it.

You do not put the accent on tp of the E. È is a different letter. Regardless, the system accepts E in place of È.

[haydee14p]

I can't use the accents, so what do I do?

[ErdalErdoa48]

Wolfs like hazy air.

[Gabriel130812]

This was her last words...

[Crystal954088]

It's is the same as it is and should be accepted!

[Beth15924]

I typed the right words????

[Beth15924]

I can't make that accent shoo it said i was wrong. That's my keyboard. I tried

[AbirDjeghri]
