I wonder if this could be an Italian saying....something like when we say in English "one man's __ is another's _"? (or is it just a brillaint duolingo creation)? :) Poor ducky....

So why wouldn't it be correct if I put La tua arantra è mio cena instead of La tua arantra è il mio cena? Is it because you're gaining possession of someone else's stuff?

From the Esperanto course - Mi fartas bone, ĉar mi havas anason - I am doing well because I have a duck.

La sua it is also a possible and correct answer because it may be refering in a formal way to the person.
Just wondering here... I'm on a review of this section after doing one where there are a lot of contractions, so I tried "la tu'anatra" and it was marked wrong. Can someone explain why?

There's no contraction for the pronom tu. The contractions are for the articles Le and La = l'acqua
Ok, I'm confused. In a different sentence, when I put "il mio" it was wrong, so on this sentence, I didn't put "la mia", I only put "mia", but it said that was wrong, and that I needed the la.

Wtf, there hasn't been a word "papera" before, it was always "anatra" and I've got the answer wrong because I thought the other sentences weren't about a duck at all... Anyway, what's the difference between "anatra" and "papera"?

I think "papera" is dialect, I always used to say papera till doulingo corrected me. Still hard to get around it.

Why is "La tua anatra è mia cena " incorrect? I thought after è it's optional to add the article.

1) Why is the answer, “La tua anatra è mia cena”, not correct when it is common to omit the definite article from the possessive adjective after forms of the verb essere?
2) What’s everyone’s problem with eating duck? Why should it be worse than eating a chicken, cow, lamb or pig?

The word antara doesn't even conjure up an image resembling a duck! More like a saracen sword!
