l' is used in front of words that begin with a vowel. Some examples: l'uovo - the egg and l'uccello - the bird. Il would be used in front of something masculine that begins with a consonant
Thanks Max. I'm getting a book on Italian grammar so I can learn these rules (sigh)
Isnt l' the short form for il?? In spanish it's "El hombre", so you wouldn't say l'hombre.. What makes this different??

l' is used before vowels. seems you guys need to go back to Lesson 1 Discussion boards. there's a lot of nice links explaining this over there
Hola, disculpa dónde se ven las lecciones, xq estoy iniciando y no sé muchas cosas, agradezco tu atención.

cada vez que completas un ejercicio hay un botón abajo que dice Discuss sentence. también está Discussion en el menú. hay muchos posts con links y aclaraciones (en inglés la mayoría, eso sí)
I wanna know that too, why do you use a feminine pronoun for the word for man?
My answer for this is exactly the same as the "correct answer" and yet it tells me I'm incorrect every time.
I have answered two questions correctly and it says they are wrong??? even though they type exactly what I have written?? help please
Because it isn't L as in long, it is I as in Impossible. Io is io not Lo, took me a while to figure that out
Twice I've gotten sentences right and it said I've gotten the wrong. This might be an issue.
I have been using this app for a couple of weeks, but there seems to be a glitch in the app in this current lesson. I am writing the sentences correctly but the app doesnt recognize it and continues to give me the same three sentences to type. I am checking every letter and punctuation mark and mine matches the correct one each time. It is not letting me move on. Has anyone encountered this?
I typed the correct answer, but said it was wrong... not the first time this happen.

A and B are the same. B starts with a capital, which is a logical way to start a sentence. I am missing something here?
Yo soy el hombre. (in Spanish)
Eu sou o homem. (in Portuguese)
Je suis l'homme. (in French)
Why is it that one writes "Sono un uomo" but "Io sono l'uomo"? When is the pronoun dropped?
In italian the subject is not needed unless it's useful to understand who you are talking about. If you say "Sono l'uomo" the subject has necessarily to be "io" since "sono" is only first person singular

i wouldn't call it "unnecessary" but "redundant" instead, especially when it's first and second person. it depends on both speaker and listener knowing the context. plus "IO sono l'uomo" sounds emphatic, "I AM THE man"
Not related to that subject,but did you know your username is very close to the name of the Greek god of dreams, Morpheus?
Sono un uomo means i am a man, i believe, and lo sono l'uomo means i am the man

This is a line I have in a play (Viola in Shakespeare's Twelfth Night) so of course that's what I think of, and now I'm tempted to translate that whole speech and learn it in Italian since I already know it in English. I know, I'm such a nerd.
Seriously, duoLingo, PLEASE USE A BETTER FONT that doesn't have the same character for lower case L and upper case I (that's an "eye"/"ay")!!!!!!!
I said lo sono l'uomo but it says the answer is wrong its lo sono l'uomo like what
My answer was exactly the same as the correct answer and it says it is wrong
Its not working, i put in the correct answer mulitple times and it still wouldent work. Kinda frustrating...

I have whitten all the words correct but it's still saying I'm writing it wrong. I noticed it before and didn't mind but it starting to happening a few times.
is this not correct? it keeps saying its wrong and then for the correct answer it says the EXACT same thing
Listen if u look at what i just wrote, idea the same thing that the owl wrote...
I typed in the correct answer many times yet this game won't just ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ accept it
OMG i hate how you ha e to type italian words in english and it tells you that youre wrong frusterating
I writing the exact answer but its still saying im wrong .. how can i bypass this and continue
Their was no option for "Lo" so i had to choose "io" but it was correct.
Again another screenshot to prove my answer is the same. Where do I send my growing collection?
I spell it correctly and it still tells me it is wrong. There is a glitch and i can't move forward. What a drag!
I wish there could be a feature on the multiple choice questions to hear whaf they're saying so i can learn it
i got it wrong because I put Lo sono l'uomo instead of lo sono l'uomo. Just because I put the uppercase one instead of the lowercase one??!! Am i going crazy?? I reported this, but I want to make sure that there is a problem.
what's the difference between Lo sono l'uomo and Io sono l'uomo? Capital letter? I choosed Lo sono l'uomo because it's start with a capital letter and they said i'm wrong!

we really need serif letters in our lives... the word is io, capital I and small l look alike

A lot of people mistakenly think it's teaching "Lo" for "I" but that's not an "L" it's a capital "i". The word for "I" is "io" not "Lo"
Please. Will you update my score. This is becoming a problem with you??847 on the day. Total 3737.
I think there is a problem. If i use long press l to get ľ i get you have a typo. l'uomo is apparently ok but ľuomo is not.
i put as above now twice each time you say i am using the wrong word which is the wrong word
but that is what i have pot so why now twice you have said it is the wrong word
Lo sono l' uomo! Typing in these words apparently correctly but being told it is wrong so unable to progress through the level! Very frustrated!
" Io sono l' uomo" was my answer and it said wrong how does that work????
make sure you use io sono and try leaving out the space between l' and uomo - l'uomo
Took me a few videos on YouTube to learn some before i came back for my second day
My question was to write "I am the man". I wrote "lo sono l'uomo" and it said it was wrong even though it had the exact same answer at the bottom. I reported it.
Now it's telling me that I should use "io" instead of "lo" but it taught me to use lo and the correct answer under it was definitely "lo sono l'uomo".
Ok i give up, i have entered the correct answer and double checked the spelli, 3 times and cannot get past this issue...help!
I DONT GET IT I TYPED THE RIGHT ANSWER BUT IT SAID IT WAS WRONG. Plz fix this bug
Im typing to correct answer and it kerps coming up as incorrect. How do i get out of it and move on?
I see nothing wrong with my post compared with the correct answer. So frustrating!
Wish i could share my screen shots. Got it correct but duo keeps denying me. I dont have an issue with French, Spanish, Vietnamese or Irish!
