"I ragazzi leggono agli uomini."

Translation: The boys read to the men.

[ArnauVilla]

It's about time for gli uomini to learn to read.

lol

[Karloren]

i know right we should not have to read to them

[Gianpaolo688419]

children are more intelligent than their elderly counterparts

[Karloren]

i know

[ajafari1357]

"The boys read to the men" I know it's correct but try "The boys read for the men" and lost a heart, why? :'(

[I_Hersey]

That would be "I ragazzi leggono per gli umomini"

[ajafari1357]

Grazie :-)

[CarolBowli]

Since when is ragazzi only translated as boys and not also as children?

[lacruzmexi]

Why is "children" not accpetable?

[Ursulare]

Same here. I really don't know

[Clare490927]

Does anyone have a problem with the continual unnecessary insertion of the apostrophe in words like boys? Personally, I find the insertion of a deliberate error time wasting and not at all helpful, especially in the strengthening lessons.

[Karloren]

no, not that i know of

[softspotforyou]

I just got "the guys read to the men". Surely that's not the same thing.

[AaronKBrown]

It can be. Guys call each other "raga" and "ragazzi."

it says that agli also can mean "for" but when i typed that in i was marked wrong.

[Bianca960827]

I wrote the exact answer but they said it was wrong??? Has anyone ever got that?

[April359698]

Wouldn't this logically be the other way around?

[Moritz933463]

Why is "the children read..." wrong?

[Des1954]

Why not ... leggono ai uomini?

[j.p.haaleb]

because there is a "clash' in sound & pronounciation... a/i/uomini becomes in Italian agli (the G is Not pronounced!!)

[Des1954]

Thank you so much. Makes complete sense.

[mato5555]

Is it gramatically incorect to say "i ragazzi leggono a uomini"?

[j.p.haaleb]

i dont really know....the sentence will sound a bit odd in both languages reading to men ( without def article) ' here in our sentence the def article is used agli TO THE men ... acc to me even if it is correct Italian there still is the pronounciation clash....2 vocals....a uomini....

[Ursulare]

To translate 'ragazzi' with children, which is perfectly correct, is marked as a wrong answer. Why??? Ragazzi means as well boys as also children
