"I destroy those parrots with fire."

Translation: Psittacos illos igne deleo.

[Staszek456]

The latin language course lives up to my expectations absolutely prefectly.

[ashalynd]

Duo sounds scary :D

[MardukSky]

Hŏdĭē psittacos ebrios usquăm vĭdes? Minime! Bubo Duo omnes dēlēbat!

[gsp732649]

oculos tuos ad mundum converte. sunt multi.

[teacon7]

After everything we've heard about these parrots, I appreciate that you also accepted "istos psittacos" :) I got a good chuckle, thanks.

[Amaryllis515864]

Istos is better!

[ElAbraham]

Unless we only burn illustrious parrots here in Latin Duolingo.

[MEELOOSH]

Duo is violent.

[ArielMedin948128]

Why can't you use the preposition 'cum' before 'igne'?

[Danielconcasco]

That would change the meaning. This is the Ablative of Means. It expresses how an action is done and does not use a preposition.

[ArielMedin948128]

Yes, I read it later. Tam benignus es; gratia tibi ago.

[Abe1029]

Hehe

[Jaden482934]

you psycho!

[Maja290403]

Illos psittacos?

[bonnythedog]

either, but the original sentence is making psittacide into poetry!

[JohnnyRocky]

Sed non moriuntur. Timeo...

[Amaryllis515864]

Istos psittacos would be better because it has a negative connotation.

[GScottOliver]

Negative? I guess you've never had roast parrot! :P

[DahlS.]

Ok this is just cruel, Duo really hates parrots. And loves weasels, apparently.

[CMJ212459]

The parrots are probably destroying themselves with fire in their perpetually inebriated state.

[Mr.Leovy]

This sentence is kind of harsh, don't you think?

[gsp732649]

nego traferre verbos de saevitia contra animalia. just mark me wrong.

[TeureLamia]

Shouldn't it be "illos psittacos" or am I understanding something wrong

[Lemma1789]

What's the problem with: "Igne deleo illos psittacos"?

[DonaldYTKA]

Phew... Drunk parrots are punished now

[ellenkeyne]

Why not "Hos psittacos"? Masculine, accusative, plural, second declension -- no?

[gea123gea]

why singular ? (psittacus) and translation is plural? Thanks a lot for this course

[-Copernicus-]

The Latin sentence says "psittacos," using the accusative plural form.

[Barzhikev]

Why not "Illos psittaci igne deleo"?

[-Copernicus-]

You need the accusative form "psittacos."
