Translation: The cook cooks the duck.

"Ducks are friends, not food."

[giovanna60615]

Ducks are excellent, particularly tea-smoked, or with green peppercorn sauce. And the rendered fat is marvelous for use in oven-roasted potatoes.

[CelebrianArwen]

You're making me hungry

WILLIAM HERRONDALE HAS GONE ON A LIFETIME QUEST TO DESTROY DUCKS. You know whats behind those dark eyes? Evil. Pure evil.

[Saifu91]

You seem to be a GRRM reader

[Nte629320]

I dislike being friends for I am antisocial so instead I will eat duck then be friends with it

[MaggieRCasey]

And the duck ducks the cook.

[KxngDeo.]

And the cook ducks ducks while ducks cook cooks.

[rmzhang]

LOL

[Hylia_YourGrace]

Hahahaha

[vincemat]

[natalieeu]

poor duck

[Saifu91]

So the cook's finally tired of cooking snakes

[GrantT18]

"Ducks are food, not friends."

Mmmmm.........

[Nte629320]

Now that is correct!

[Suikat]

Is there any chance of translate cuoco as 'chef'? It would sound much better in english...

[jerry007i]

Poor Donald :(

[Mel__Carter]

Fourth time I've had this question in one lesson....

[marziotta]

Because the feminine lesson lacks sentences, please report it, as I did for German course.

On top of it, the words it contains are "cook" "teacher" and I don't remember the third, and they are never declined into feminine... at least in the German course. D:

[Nicole_Di_Kansas]

Just think about the "Big Bang Theory" & Kaley Cuoco it really helps me distinguish between cuoco which is a person who cooks & cucina which is a preperation of food & a place.

[mizinamo]

I just realised a couple of days ago where Kaley Cuoco's name must have come from :)

[AnthonyJan4]

Interestingly, Wikipedia tells me that her current husband is Karl Cook.

[christinaxmaria]

Welcome to Zaxby's

[Jade.Warner]

what has the cook done to daffy??

[Hylia_YourGrace]

And Gabby!!! I know she's an ugly duckling, but come on!!! She's a alien war hero!!!

[Girishkorgaonkar]

Told ya...not to feed bread to the ducks

[TheGandalf]

The slow pronunciation of "cuoco" sounds like the speaker has something stuck in her throat.

[RexCroatorum]

Finally a mammal! I started to think insects were the only food worth eating

[Gita-ji]

Ducks are birds, not mammals. They lay eggs. The (duck-billed) platypus and echidna are the only mammals that lay eggs.

[Marinofull]

I like the sound "cook cooks", it's funny, haha

[blackwidow2008]

hello

[Prince709]

Peking duck, anyone?

[0verCloud9]

Funny how the last sentence was ,"It is a duck". Now the story ends with this sentence... Maybe that duck's brethren will fight back.

[BethanyJ6]

That is so mean ducks are coool

[I-AM-THE-STAR]

To hell with the cook and to hell with his kitchen.I don't understand that why are people so interested in ducks.Aren't they just happy with chicken?!!

[I-AM-THE-STAR]

And I forgot about the turkey..

[CrazyEqlsGenius]

L'anatra è l'amico del cuoco. Anatre sono amici, non sono cibo.

[HenryStobb]

It is interesting that the Italian is so similar to the German Ente.

[AniOhevYayin]

That's interesting. Both German and Italian derive from Latin anatina. Spanish pato, however, is apparently onomatopeia related to duck feet: http://etimologias.dechile.net/?pata (so also Portuguese). French cane / canard may also be onomatopeia through sound, caqueter. https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canard Have a lingot.

[Lodoviko]

Better (?): Il cuoco prepara l'anatra.

[TheBareBears]

Can "cuoco" also mean "chef"? As a native English speaker, I hear the phrase "the chef cooks" used more often than "the cook cooks".

[Nicole_Di_Kansas]

Not to be anal, but a chef has a degree & went to culinary school to earn that distinction. A cook is a layperson who usually cooks at home.

[stevecaicco]

The online Collins dictionary gives capocuoco for chef, which makes sense.

[JacintaWyl]

I say it ok but its wrong then i babble and mess it up but its right...?

Cook cook cooks cooks cook cook cook

[Prof_T_Entee]

quack

[kingjules420]

Does cuoco imply the cook is male? Or are female cooks called "cuoco" too?

[Carolina_Turner]

Poor duck

[MaryPaz294872]

Why is not right this translation: " the cook is cooking the duck" . In my opinion is OK

[AnthonyJan4]

The verb is conjugated in the present tense, not the present continuous tense.

"The cook is cooking the duck" would be more accurately translated as "Il cuoco sta cucinando l'anatra."
