"It is not necessarily true."
Translation:Non è necessariamente vero.

There is a mistake in the Italian translation. "Non è detto che sia così" should be used. An alternative translation would be "Non è necessariamente vero"
"It is not said that it is so." This has no relationship to "It is not necessarily true." Doubtful Lingo strikes again!
It looks to me like that's an idiom, not a sentence that ought to be literally translated (of course, you only find that out when you try and fail...)
I put what marziotta said" "Non e necessariamente vero" and it was accepted. Hurray!

I didn't have that choice offered either. Tough luck :(( But the meaning seams to be about equal. Just accept it. The saying might be useful sometime.
Sorry, but I have to call "BS" on this one!!!! NOTHING DUO (under)handed us here makes sense "Vero" "giusta" or maybe even "sicura" should be there, but NOT the line of crap handed to us!!! COME ON, DUO!!!!
Settle down there. Duo cannot have every single option. You learn from not knowing things, too.
I didn't have that option either. I went with: non e necessariamente cosi (e and the i from cosi would have grave accents, normalmente) and that was accepted! I would add that I only put cosi because that word seemed the only option with the way I started the Italian sentence! Update: this time I put: "non è necessariamente vero" and as above it was accepted. I totally forgot about the idiom suggested!
If you typed it as suggested in the post above (Non e necessariamente vero) it likely would be marked wrong. It needs a (è) rather than (e) as these are different words

From where the heck came "detto" and "sia" in this sentence?? "Non è necessariamente vero" (maybe così instead of vero) should be the only correct answer!
"Non è per forza vero" is also accepted (at least as of October 2019).
If you haven't seen this idiom before, this sentence is impossible to translate. I had to build the Italian translation from individual words, and words such as "vero" or "necessariamente" were not even listed...
Imagine my surprise, getting "necessariamente" as an option but getting it wrong! I feel like it's these bigger ❤❤❤ moments that i learn more from
I got this on a lesson on Adverbs. Not an adverb in sight!!! This should be in Idioms
Was expecting necessariamente and vero to be in the word list but they were not so i thought Dl had gone bonkers.
You tricked me Duo, first you teach me the word for necessarily and then I'm not supposed to use it.
There's even a mistake. Anyway, you can say "Non è necessariamente vero" that is a pretty much literal translation.
This sentence wasn't taught in this way. The vocabulary taught wasnt available to finish the sentence correctly.
Does è detto mean it is said? Can I say è detto che parlare italiano è facile (It is said that it is easy to speak Italian)?
We have the idiom "Non è detto" (It's not necessarily true), but not the idiom "È detto". In such case we would say "Si dice che parlare italiano SIA facile" (we need the subjunctive, the given sentence is WRONG)
Sorry - you'd already said it was wrong. It's a bad idea to start a whole new concept, tenses of verbs, with an idiomatic saying that has nothing to do with the matter at hand and has an error. I can understand Si dice che and the subjunctive is used because it is "subjective" so you've taught me something here! Duolingo just screwed up on this one. Actually you can usually tell something's wrong by the number of comments.
No need to be sorry, I wrote it in capital letters to make it clear and visible. ;)
It's a pity if people think that something wrong is correct.

Duo doesn't list anything like this in the options for help. Not comprehensible input. Agree with Joe! Frustrating!
I had to pick out of words (vs typing) and with the words available to me I had to put together "Non è necessariamente così" . It was accepted. This is just a bad question I think. It doesn't work in multiple question formats, then they had to be overly lenient on what counts as a correct answer.

I'm about fed up with this kind of missleading instruction. Can someone refer me to a better language program? Thank you
Translation is incorrect. Looks like you are not very good at correcting your own mistakes. Looking the date of the first query. Its dated back eight years ago. A update is very much needed.??
This would be a very convoluted and cumbersome way to express this in English. Would one really commonly say this in Italian?

DL needs a seperate section on idioms. There isn't an adverb in their given translation.
Non è detto che è così is translated as, 'it is not said that it is so.' https://translate.yandex.com/?lang=it-en&text=non%20%C3%A8%20detto%20che%20%C3%A8%20cos%C3%AC
The answer i typed was correct. The answer it ssid was definately wrong

Comunque la frase giusta sarebbe "Non è detto che SIA cosí" non credo si possa usare È in una frase con condizione di causa o dubitativa
In other exersize duo lingo translated it like this: Non e necessiaremente cosi. So now we have totaly different translation?

I put what marziotta said" "Non e necessariamente vero" and it was NOT accepted. Hurray!
I wrote Non 'e necessariamente vero and It was sighted by duolingo as incorrect ???
this is so weird, I wrote non e necessariamente vero and was not accepted, and the second time round i thought id test dulingo and it accepted it

As DL wouldn't accept 'reply' as a translation for 'risposta', I woulnt be risking anything as fancy as the above
