What is the difference between "Lei" and "Ella"? I guessed "ella" because I have taken Spanish previously :/
"Ella" is very very very polite and almost never used. Maybe in poetry and in some very old manuscripts.
While some Italian and Spanish words are similar, "Ella" is a extremely old and rarely used word. When you are referring to a woman or girl, use lei. Ella is hardly ever appropriate.
Ella means Her in spanish...it is when you are referring to a girl or women as female
Ella is grammatically correct but obsolete nowadays. Lei and lui are technically wrong but accepted and used. Language evolution.
Hi. You no doubt have long since mastered these 2 words by now, but for reference and the benefit of anyone reading this, I think of Lui (he) as being like the male name "Louis" (as in Louis Walsh) and Lei (she) as being like the Hebrew/Arabic female name "Leila" (or the variant "Layla" as used by Eric Clapton). Hope that perhaps helps make it more memorable for anyone reading this! :)

I think it's a good idea to write till you learn. And about cheating, don't use your codes when you take test lessons. Just like regular school :)
Well Ella is her in spanish and Lei is her in italian so in guess i should continue in spanish
I had to translate "She eats" and put "Lei mangi" but it said i was wrong, and that it was in fact "Lei mangia". When I checked the word however (by clicking on the word "eats") it said to use "mangi" for lei/lui. But that it translates to mangia. Could someone explain the correct translation?
Im mixing french, italian and korean together now and i cant tell the diff... ugh... so irritating
to remember Lei for she, think of Leia, since Leia is a woman, and the 1st 3 letters of her name are Lei
Hey Kitsune Elms im waondering if you could teach me somthing other than La Mela wich i forgotten what language im learning but if you know what language that is let me know please :-) !.
Can someone please tell me aneazy way of remembering the correct way to say eat , ie mangia mangio mangi and drink, bevi beve bevo?
I dont know when to use mangio it drives me crazy of course I have an italian temper
Typical D/L, they tell you an answer then mark it incorrect. VERY FRUSTATING. D/L get your act in gear.
I clicked on the word to see how it translated, an it said "mangia (lui/lei) mangi" I wrote Lei mangi and it was wrong. :'(
(lei/lui) mangia (lei/lui) mangi Which one do I use? I went with mangi and it was wrong. How do I know when to use to use which?
