"A novembre apriamo la marmellata."

Translation: In November we open the jam.

[Elena18]

Yup- that's one exciting November we have planned!

[dmmaus]

Mmm... jam and sausages..

[MollyKR]

I heard "abbiamo" and transcribed this as "A novembre abbiamo la marmellata."

[marcosgaser]

Me too.

[basmatiheather]

Me too!

[roger.c.rossi]

Me too

[Bettemc]

I also heard "abbiamo"

[syterth]

Can someone explain the different forms of 'in" and their uses/relations to words. It isn't very clear to me.

For example:

I've seen "in aprile"

or "a novembre"

"ad aprile"

Thanks!

[Ryoukon.]

learning too, but "a" is used before a consonant and "ad" before a vowel

[JIS9E]

When would we use "a" and when would we use "in"? We have had exercises with both. How is "an November" different from "in November"? Thanks

[AnneUtz]

Would like to know that, too, please.

Having to remember that Americans call jam 'jelly' as well as translating the Italian here... Multilingual :)

[Pataglu]

In France, there's "confiture" for jam, "marmelade" for marmalade and "gelée" for jelly.

[Ariaflame]

I believe Italian does have confettura for jam/jelly/confection. But not sure if it's commonly used for what I think of as jam.

[luna892935]

Yess!! It depends by the fruit! If I don't wrong I think confettura is only for the oranges but I am not sure....or the contrary, the other fruits

[mstone01501]

To make things even more confusing, we also have preserves and marmalade. AND there is a difference to each.

[Soglio]

Actually, jam and jelly are different.

[carbis]

I think you can get away with jam now.

[Soglio]

In US English, jelly, jam, and preserves are three different types of sugared fruit. Technically, jelly is translucent and made from the clear juice of the fruit. Jam is made from the crushed fruit. Preserves have chunks of the fruit, or even the whole fruit. Those are the technical distinctions. In actuality, many people use the terms interchangeably, or blur the distinctions.

[Elon_the_Hittite]

Blur and The Jam were good bands.

[Ekzunakka]

Well, we also call it jam.

[Ariaflame]

So, I wonder whether there's a word for chutney?

[mstone01501]

In America, we have jam, jelly and preserves. All are different.

[Nonna602151]

Nope! In the USA, we use "jelly" for a clear, strained fruit spread. "Jam" always has pieces of fruit in it. "Marmellade" is made from any kind of citrus with strips of rind included.

[elmermes]

So YOLO

[Tarek233738]

Marmellata, molto zucchero, non bene!! Spiacente!

[gringoton]

So marmellata translates as jam and jelly, but not as preserves or marmalade? I'm guessing chutney won't work either then. ;-)
