"Mio nonno si siede sempre su quel divano."

[val234]

Doesn't 'si siede' in the context of this sentence translate to 'sits himself'?

[angeluis_]

Yes

[MilanR.2]

Why we can't just say: ''Mio nonno siede sempre su quel divano''? without ''si''?

[xyphax]

nice alliteration duo

"Grandad" not allowed for goodness sake - Grandad is the standard spelling in England! Does anyone at DL know any English English?

What's wrong with settee? Settee = couch = sofa

That's what I understand by it too. I tried 'sits down' and got it wrong. There seems to be a lot of guesswork with this app!

The infinitive is 'sedersi'. 'we sit here' would translate to 'ci sediamo qua/qui'.

I don't think the second correct answer is appropriate, unless he seats inside the couch; I wrote only one answer as correct and had one of my hearts taken away

When is sempre still and when is it always?

[ginothek]

the choice of "siede" was not shown!!!!

[nuovaforesta]

I also put 'sits himself'' and was told it was 'seats'!
