What is the correct pronunciation of pure? The audio above gives what I thought was correct (like "poore") but the audio in the lessons say "piure" or "pyure" like the English pronunciation of pure. I reported it but is there a regional difference?
Now the audio above has changed! It also sounds like the English pronunciation of "pure" I think it should be like "poor eh"
I got this wrong offering Also he has a mirror.
Searching the WordReference.com forums I found Concordo con tutti coloro che hanno scritto ma aggiungerei che, di solito, "pure" comporta un leggero rafforzamento di significato, una certa enfasi. (native Italian speaker). He says he agrees with what has gone before (that "pure" and "anche" mean the same, so my transation should be accepted) but "pure" does add una certa enfasi (a certain emphasis). Perhaps. But absent any context the words mean the same and the answers should reflect this. I shall suggest "Also he has a mirror" be accepted .....
Did you report it in the report field? I am not so sure that suggestions made here are implemented.
Does this mean he has a mirror in addition to other people that have a mirror, or he has a mirror in addition to other things he has?

Dear Duolingo please correct the audio every time the Italian word 'pure' occurs in a phrase it is mispronounced I have reported this error each time I encounter it so far to no avail.
"He has a mirror also" was not accepted, but seems very similar to the accepted "he also has a mirror" and "he has a mirror too".

Pure pronunciation is totally wrong.. It must be read as it is, pure with the accent on u: pùre. I can't hear this... XD
"He also has a mirror" is not necessarily interchangeable with "Also he has a mirror." Compare "He too has a mirror, like her" with "In addition to a comb, he has a mirror."
audio STILL not working, 19.11.2021. and I see you reported it 10 months ago.......... :(
