[jeevan.V]

RIP TEETH

[SoupWithOneBean]

Omg ur so right

[GoGartMogart]

Crazy

[Elena18]

The inflection here definitely makes it sound like a question "Do you eat ice"?
Secondly, what is all this "eating ice" business? Are they talking about some type of frozen popsicle or treat or something???? NO ONE I know of eats ice :)

[ragazzambulante]

No, I think they're really talking about ice. A lot of people I know eat ice, as opposed to just letting it melt into your drink. My cousin even started eating ice while she was on a diet to keep from snacking between meals.

[pont]

Lots of people eat ice! See e.g. http://online.wsj.com/article/SB120165510390727145.html?mod=todays_us_nonsub_page_one

[lorenagay]

Actualmente, ho mangiato il ghiaccio quando ero incinta.

[.b.e.e.]

I eat ice during summer to keep cool.

[jamesthornwell]

I eat ice.

[marziotta]

Yeah, poor sound here as well, and they say "ghiacio" instead of "ghiaccio".

Maybe they are recycling some German sentences, where "Eis" means both ice and ice cream?

[Zzzzz...]

This makes sense. The section on German on this site goes on about drinking oil, that is "Öl", because in Swedish the word for "beer" is "öl". I suppose they are trying to prevent us from making an easy mistake.

[blazmah]

Hmm, in Hungarian 'öl' means 'he/she kills'...

[monna844147]

Yes in Turkish too.It means" die "

[DonataVargas]

i eat ice all the time

[DrWholockHolmes]

But...I eat ice.

[madmid]

I like the crunch sometimes. But i also eat dry pasta...

[Joopitur-]

I do!! Then again, you have know idea who I am... lololol

[DinoLee4]

i do eat ice

[momo.bello]

Funny, but here in Canada it's a common saying. "Eating the ice" means falling face first on the ice while playing hockey or free skating!

[Lilithly]

So this is about actual ice, right? not about ice cream?

[tu.8zPhLD72zzoZN]

Yes

[AndrijAndrusiak]

strangely enough

[Macossay]

In America there is something called "italian ice." It is not ice cream and it is not gelato. It is similar to what the French call sorbet. In cities with large Italian populations, such a Chicago and Philadelphia, you can buy italian ice in the summer from sidewalk vendors, in paper cones.
Is this what Duo means by eating ice? Or is it just talking about crunching ice cubes? Is Italian Ice even a thing in Italy?

[CapnVideo]

Italian Ice isn't really sorbet is it though?

[Eiimmanuel]

Actually, when my aunt was pregnant she ate ice everyday, so this is not so unusual to me

[Narnour1]

Gelato = ice cream or popsicle, right?

[Loyla16]

I eat the ice

[Anne737429]

and no-one has mentioned granita yet!

[OlgaKuznetsova_]

...who doesn't?

[notyetawizard]

I thought it was "gatto", which is a cat. Whoops.

[lorenagay]

You must be Venetian HAHAHAHA!!!! "I manjagati"

[thohan99]

Ah, Italian humor. I don't get it, but it sounds funny.

[Wladyszewska]

Same

[Lautaro-]

Mangiamucca?

[lorenagay]

Mucca is okay if you can't find any gatto to mangiare....

[Martin135869]

Il gatto ha un gusto molto simile di quello del pollo

[DoughnutDFLL]

Yes. This is what I'm going to do this summer.

[Karlijnvb]

I scream, you scream, we all scream for icecream!

[Annabel257400]

No i scream you scream we all screan cuz were terrified! Oh wats around the corner

I-/

[Normz9]

I love ice ! Io amo il ghiaccio

[French_Bunny]

It's better to say "Mi piace il ghiaccio" ... except if you plan to marry it ! And are you sure not to prefer Gelati ? (ghiaccio = ice / gelato = ice cream). Then your sentence would become "Mi piacciono i gelati".

[-Owlie_]

Is that a jojo reference?

[-Owlie_]

Is that a jojo reference? ( Have a good day! ^_^ )

[Beat_Angel]

I eat ice.

[deactivated user]

Me too :) no need 2 get embarrassed

[myppwmikeATgmail]

When you tap on "ghiaccio" the explanation says that it can be used like adjective. So, can it be put like this "Io bevo il succo ghiaccio" (as cold as ice)?

[studyingwithmia]

Something I'd do

[Kyara640355]

Io Iceio

[AydinAysenur]

Why "Eat the ice" is wrong?

[Flibbo]

That would be the imperative form.

[ZohaibAnsar]

No, you eat the ice

[Tooba0208]

How do I know when to put an article before the noun in Italian? Sometimes its correct without and sometimes only correct with article.

[Flibbo]

if i remember correctly the article is omitted at singular people
