[AuntieE]

I can not understand a word she said

[Gianna357445]

Remus LUPIN- lupo means wolf.

[Amalia769097]

I said the same thing but didn't realize you also commented this! Potterheads unite!

Isn't un just a like "the wolf is a animale"

[MadelynWri]

"Un" means "a" in English, however when the next word starts with a vowel sound we add an 'n' making "an", because "an animal" is easier to pronounce (and understand) than "a animal". :)

[Amalia769097]

I always remember this for "wolf"
Professor Lupin= Werewolf
Lupin= Lupo
Lupo= Wolf

[igugu7]

the voice is weird

it says "lu-ppo" but it should be "lu-po"

NOOO, I THOUGHT IT WAS A ROBOT

[gabrielemorales]

I put the mic in the earphone and hit play and put the recording and it still didnt work

[Dhaemon]

so I answered this by typing: "il lupo 'e un'animale" // I did not write 'e, I used the correct text via the buttons...

My question is why is the answer to this one "un animale" instead of "un'animale"?

[MadelynWri]

"Animale" is masculine so you use "un". If it were feminine like "anatra" you would use "una", but because "anatra" starts with a vowel you would then elide the 'a' of "una" getting "un'anatra". This is because it's quicker and easier to pronounce "un'anatra" than "una anatra". This only works with feminine ("una") words though. :)

[LaSognatrice]

You don't connect them. Un = a
So it's "a animal".
