I've noticed a few times (I'm going back over previous lessons that I've forgotten) that 'pesce' always has 'il' or 'i' in front of it, whereas lots of other things leave it out. Can anyone tell me why please?
Because Italian grammar doesn’t allow the possessive adjectives to be used alone without an article. The only exception is for family members: mia madre = my mother.

In English, fish can be both singular and plural. Another plural would be fishes. In the question here, it is clearly inferred that fish should logically be the plural pesci, but DL don't seem to understand this

Not necessarily. My dog eats fish and chicken. No plural necessary because I'm referring to types of meat, not quantities of animals.

Why isnt " i pesci " also correct? Many dogs (plural)would naturally eat many fish? No?
