"I ragazzi leggono agli uomini."

Translation: The boys read to the men.

[ArnauVilla]

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

[Fiyalka2]

They can read. But they are very old now and their eyes are weak, so it is very good of the boys to visit them and read to them. Also, two of them are blind. They have worked hard all their lives and their fingers are too callused to read Braille. Well, and when the boys have to go home, they will take out their audio books. :o)

[DimisKouma]

Wow you have strong imagination

[Karloren]

i know right we should not have to read to them

[joshuaedgington]

lol

[Gacha_Fan33]

Yes. La ragazzi shall take over the world!

[Gianpaolo688419]

children are more intelligent than their elderly counterparts

[Karloren]

i know

[CarolBowli]

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

[lacruzmexi]

Why is "children" not accpetable?

[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 :-)

[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."

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

[Patiushca]

Why not"are reading"?

[MandolinFace]

I thought 'ragazzi' could also mean 'kids.'

[gianbruno]

why read is without s, the third person of the verb should't have the final s?

[toOliya]

Only the third singular should. This is plural.

[bananalannah]

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

[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

[BobbyJoaquin]

sorry I'm new to the discussion page but why is it agli instead of just gli. Is it the same?
