"We believe in the men."

Translation: Crediamo negli uomini.

I'm not sure how I made it this far without understanding this concept, but... When do you use gli and when do you use i

[forsilvia]

GLI + vowel / z / s+cons./ x / y / ps / gn : gli amici, gli zoccoli, gli xilofoni, gli yak, gli gnomi.
I + consonant (except the consonants above) : i bambini, i cavoli, i dadi, i fiori, i gatti ....

Thank you

[coryad]

This far? My friend we are still novices!

[Sarah141909]

I'm in the same boat you're in. I have no idea and i even went back to read the " Tips" . Still, I'm so confused. Lol

[Wichito390]

Ne = in
Gli = the (when it's plural)
Fusion - negli = in the
I wanted to help with origin.

[nickscod123]

Its time to duel!

[Wichito390]

For my first turn I summon... Duolingo's Owl in attack mode!!!

[KoenOskam]

I sacrifice my in and my gli to summon the almighty Negli!

[Maressa668083]

Why not agli instead of negli?

[sophia303272]

How do I know how to differenciate when to use negli, nei, nell'? They all can mean in the

[Jackie.Bowers]

maziotto - didn't you tell me that credere took the preposition "a"? But here, it's "in"?

[marziotta]

(marziotta... maziotto sounds like masculine :D )

I already replied you somewhere else... ;)

Credere A = believe

Credere IN = believe IN

(Negli = in + gli)

[ajstronach]

marziotta, can you give us an example of "credere a"?

[forsilvia]

"Non credere a tutto quello che scrivo" "Credi a me: io lo so"

[ThomasFAustria]

"Do not believe everything i write. Believe me: I know it!"

Thank you for that example!

[Drdhk]

For LUI the preposition "in" is marked as correct, for UOMINI it is "ne". Why is that?

[Mary142033]

What is the difference between agli uomini and negli uomini?

[SusanSadle4]

I keep getting everything in this section wrong. This is the only section so far that I don't feel I have understood at all. Most sections have been enjoyable, as I have learnt, remembered and improved as I worked through. But here, I keep giving up and coming back, hoping it might all fall into place. Definately the most difficult part of the course so far. It's only the little green owl that is keeping me going!!!

[gardenpansy]

i dont understand when you use "in" or "a" and when you dont use either.

[0bonkers]

what is the difference between negli and agli?

[Linda497180]

I thought l' is the in front of a vowel.

[ChrisFromMunich]

Why not "in uomini" . Another exercise told us to say "Credo in te". Where is the difference?

[coryn649788]

I thought (in) was used to talk about location of people and a is equal to (to/in/at). Why then is negli used here instead of agli?

[JeanPhilip714244]

some time del p...me of, he will accept big typo error but call incorrect something insignificant spelling like uonimi instead of uomini , keyboard '''''''

[dkoreski]

From previous Duolingo explanations, I thought any form of "nel" meant to be physically inside of something. So I got this one wrong, "We believe inside of the men" just sounded terribly wrong to my American ears. Can someone explain why the "nel" form is used here? Is there an exception for this verb Credere?

[Berlin1929]

Maybe a native Italian speaker can better clarify if or what the rule is. My logic was that character is something inside us. "I believe in [the character within] myself." Or the character within the men, negli uomini.
