[Elodie_]

Well that escalated quickly...

[TobiZatti]

Finally I can feel safe in Italy.

[Delicatecherub]

Yike, this kinda goes both ways tho smh

[socialbutterfly]

Probably the most important sentence I will ever learn.

[Ella_Wren]

Walks up to random person Ho un coltello..... walks away

[GooberSlayer]

LOL

[LouMimzy]

Now if you could only teach me "show me to the TARDIS", my life will be complete.

[WayneHoobler]

If ever there were a phrase to hold near'n'dear

[Br.Raphael]

[derly.fer]

A few questions before i got one with pictures to say knife, but it corrected me to "pugnale" instead of "coltello". Is that the same or did I got a weird mistake from duolinguo?

[flaoxxx]

We say Pugnale when we talk about an antique knife used only like a weapon.

[Rogguer]

I said io ho un coltello and it said i was wrong

[SarahBeaNZ]

Same!!

[JR76qz]

I agree io ho should be correct.

[Leokadia612008]

I had the same. Why is that wrong? Grrr

[Prof_T_Entee]

dude, never bring a knife to a Flash fight, for I am The Flash.

[ButterflyJade]

???????

[BowlerCat]

Duo...no...

[klorenz4]

When do you use lama and when do you use coltello?

[flaoxxx]

Lama is the metal part of the knife, coltello is the whole object

[Burgos69]

Like in French:
Coltello = Couteau
Lama = Lame

[PeaceOluwa1]

What is the difference between "una" and "un"?

[Asia566488]

Why not Il?

[OrFmNJL0]

Il = the. Un = a .

[Melissa295085]

What's the difference between coltello and pugnale? They're both translated as knife.

[OrFmNJL0]

Pugnale means dagger.

[Navi_S]

well that was bloody...

[hellothere596]

And who are you saying this to? lol

[mtpage7]

Io ho un cotello was marked wrong. I do I know when to use a pronoun and when not to?

[EliseAusti]

Ho un coltello is correct, we do not always need the subject in the sentence

[Leokadia612008]

But it's not wrong when the subject is in the sentence. Why duo marked it as a mistake?

[Matt_Karma17]

you're joking

[Jaeden519725]

Ok
Just calm down

[Sthichi]

And I have a penguin (evilface)

[Erin072205]
