"The recipe comes from the men."

Translation: La ricetta viene dagli uomini.

[CatherineBrahic]

why is arriva not also correct (in addition to viene)? a previous sentence had them as interchangeable in this context

[arbor92]

Yes, can anyone answer this?

[DanJSDK]

I'd like to know this too

[bencrix]

Ditto

[travel.linguist]

Don't know, but from the context in this sentence, to arrive means something else than come - to arrive: to get to sb. right in the moment - to come: to get to sb. (in the past, present or future) - e.g. you can ask: Who sent you this recipe? answer: It comes from the men.
But I admit it's very vague and unclear.

When do we use "de" forms and when "da" forms? Why is "degli uomini" incorrect here?

[NancyMihalich]

"degli uomini" means "of the men" (the "di" transforms to "de")
"dagli uomini" means "from the men"

[pizza7]

when to use 'dai' or 'dagli'???

[marziotta]

DAI = DA + I

DAGLI = DA + GLI

Gli uomini is correct here. Which is the right article to use? http://duolingo.com/#/comment/233855 FAQ #3

Does anyone else give a huge cheer when they get something right, and didn't realise they knew how to translate something? My neighbourhood rings with my whoops of delight when I get is right! They must think I'm mad.
