"Una scimmia mangia una banana."

Translation: A monkey eats a banana.

[SpiralStat]

Ugh, so tired of these animal stereotypes.

[legokid_9407]

I know right monkeys dont only eat bananas

[DennisMouz]

Y the hell is it one monkey and not a monkey

[Lydiathechica]

Yeah I was thinking the same thing.

[Avel367925]

It accepted "a monkey" for me

[NoonaEi]

do animals in Italian have 2 words for each animal for the two genders {lion, lioness} or are the words presented in this chapter the only name for the animal? and if so, how do I indicate that the animal I'm talking about is a male female?

[VesnaH1]

How does one translate .... He eats ....and .... He is eating .... into Italian?

[NoonaEi]

you could say 'lui mangia' or simply 'mangia'. because the verbs in Italian change depending on who is performing the action, by saying 'mangia' it is clear that you are talking about he/she/it.
present simple and present progressive in English is essentially the same thing in Italian. so 'he eats' and 'he is eating' are both 'Lui mangia' /'mangia'.

I used ape! still wrong :(

[macca03]

I did a ape,But i said i should have done 1 ape like what!

[Ron262883]

A,the, and one seem to have all the same meaning until we answer.?????

[luiz.calheiros]

If a Italian could help me I would like to know if "macaco" isn't a correct answer.

[Caoimhghin31]

Not an Italian speaker here but due to the strong ties it bears with French, which I am a native speaker of, I guess "Macaco" is a specific type of monkey and not a generic term pretty much like "Macaque" in French.

[LunaWatersong]

Why isn't it a monkey?

[crown_of_legends]

It is for me. You should report it.

[Diane346399]

Am I hearing correctly? The "ia" are silent scimmia?

[Lydiathechica]

oh. Its present tense. I thought it was past. Dang it.

[Roisin977223]

I got
You used the definite "The" here, instead of the indefinite "One".
but here is say it's 'A monkey'.
Can anyone tell me which is correct and how to tell the difference?

[vlavlinder]

"a" monkey and "an" ape

[TrinityRam16]
