"I cavalli bevono latte."

Translation: The horses drink milk.

[Telitca.]

omg i forgot latte means milk and i was like "since when do horses drink coffee?"

[VolpeNV]

since when do horses drink milk? .-.

[derkarlotto]

Since they're mammals

[squank1]

Then it would be "the foals drink milk".

[NikolaTodorov]

True true

[Balkan_Chick]

Yeah, but adult mammals aren't supposed to drink milk

[eus_im]

Well, no one says those are adult horses.

[Allie986743821]

Yeah. Duolingo has taught me never to underestimate weird sentences much.

[Kevin968039]

Hahaha. I seem to remember that it was "beer for my horses!"

[mfcardio]

When just born they drink horses milk

[Alemariee]

Lol!

[schwickert]

horse milk presumably

[FluoroLime]

they're probably babies

[shamas8]

Cavallino?

[ryanrands]

Sometimes I feel like I'm in the language lesson from Top Secret. I guess the sentence is grammatically correct, but why would you ever say that horses drink milk?

[NoeBerengena]

Yes, that is a weird mental image. Are they lapping it out of a bowl?

[sher-bear77]

I pictured like some sort of crazy horse cat licking it up

[Euhan1]

Cavallino, Puglia or Cavallino, Veneto?

[Brian11e]

please what's the difference between 'i' and 'gli' for 'the' thanks

[WarmFoothills]

You use gli when the first letter of the noun starts with a vowel. L'uomo = Gli uomini

[Brian11e]

thanks

[dreykitsune]

Thank you

[eus_im]

Molto grazie.

[SD-77]

"Gli" is used for a masculine plural noun that starts with a vowel, a "z", or an "s" followed by a consonant.

[RaduBunda]

Can you give examples of the latter?

[NoeBerengena]

Lo squalo (the shark) -- gli squali (plural); lo stagno (the pond) -- gli stagni (plural). Note that in both cases the noun is masculine. If the noun is feminine the rule does not apply. Example: la scarpa (the shoe) -- le scarpe (plural).

[Michelle166]

Foals drink milk, not horses.

[Dusty_G]

Okay Italian, you be you and not Danish and say the horses drink wine.
Or better yet, I know your horses drink wine.

[Toni997084]

Can anyone explain to me when and when not to use articles in front of foods and beverages,please

[LucasNevado]

Why "I" instead of "Il" ?

[Kayemon96]

It's plural v. singular

[mcwaterc]

What horses drink milk

[Kevin968039]

When I was young we had a foal that would repeatedly go for the cow's udders. Odd horse.

[qwerteen]

Mcwater, all of them.

[Edit930595]

When do i put the verb ex:(Beviamo latte) or ex:(Io ha giornale)

[ClintCaval]

the stable cleaner quit the next morning

[WalterZAMB4]

Why does water/Acqua require the definitive article but not milk?

[NoeBerengena]

On a very warm day, couldn't we say "I cavalli bevono limonata." I could imagine that (sorta).

[Shazzakip]

Genuinely thought it meant "I drink horse milk"

[korsetti]

What type of milk did the horses drink?

[RaduBunda]

Oat milk? :p

[NoeBerengena]

Good one. I got a good laugh.

[Yassmeena_h]

What are the words in italian that mean 'The" I mean il , le ,I ,lo
Can some one tell me when to use each one?? And are there any other words that mean "the" too??

[JoseeV64]

See the "Tips and Notes" of the chapters "Basics 1" and "Basics 2" (website).

[Heryzanya]

What is the difference between "i" and "gli"?

[Sabrinaisd]

Really horses drink milk and do they drink soda too

[EllieWright2]

They do? Oh so that's why the cow's upset.

[Balkan_Chick]

It that makes a cow upset, imagine how upset she'd be at humans ;)

[Kevin968039]

It really was...

[carolhoover56]

why is it I and not il

[BaalStorm]

I've seen a horse drinking directly from a cow's udder.

[Telisa7]

How old was this horse?

[Kevin968039]

See my comment above (i believe you)

[MariaNicoloso]

I tend to forget the double letters in Italian, i typed in "cavali" instead of "cavalli", so i got it wrong :( Anyone else have this problem?

[miarodrigu653069]

i get confused with what "the" to use. i know "la" is feminine and "il" is masculine, but i dont know about the others

[AndreasCar279721]

why cant i say " Drinks "

[marcy65brown]

I, you, we, they = drink.
He, she, it = drinks.
The horses = they = drink.

[Mark307546]

You can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink...milk.

[vtopphol]

Say the word "white" twenty times, fast.

Now, quick! What do horses drink?

[Jeanette28456]

Not confused except being marked off for a ramdom letter i didnt notice i'd allowed be on the screen

[BennHealy]

This could do with being said faster...

[pCXlR]

Why isn't this a question?

[Monamanam1]

The horses drink milk?!!!!!!!!

[Harrison_M]

This taught me that you not only need to know the words the lesson topic is on, but also the words you've learned before, I almost wrote water instead of milk. Oops.

[NadiaRausc]

The poor things must be desperate.

[NadiaRausc]

Maybe these horses do, out of desperation.

[Enkhbaatar18987]

HEEEEEEEEEEY

[ph.6c6Hxp]

[MiriamKasp1]

[Longnumber]

Actually they don't

[JoseeV64]

Young horses drink milk from their mother. They are mammals.

[Palmmy184971]

[AlfredMedi]

Before I can speak, the system records an error!
