"My daughters do not eat cheese."

[Label22]

Why 'le'? I thought with familymembers you didn't have to use any articles?

[mukkapazza]

That's for singular family members ;)

[Label22]

Thanks! I didn't know that rule!

[marianosman]

OH! Gotcha. It all makes sense now. :)

[Eszti975776]

Not for me. :(

[StefaniDeFazio]

Why not Miei when it’s daughters not daughter.

[naktinetoja]

My guess because it's feminine: mio + i (for masculine) = miei; mio + le (for feminine) = mie

Le tue figlie non hanno buon gusto in fatto del cibo.

[Erkan2018]

it is stupid . in the previous ones , duolingo didn't allow me to use the artical for close relatives but now it says wrong when i use the article ,

[BellaAvis]

someone noted above that the article is used for plural close relatives. No article is used when it is just one Papa, Mamma, Sorella etc!

[vpighini]

Why not say sorreli

[alicefernandez72]

Sorella is sister. Sorelle is sisters. The i ending is the plural of th o/masculine ending.

[tbuccoliero]

Huh? I don't see how your answer relates to the sentence or peoples' questions.

[alicefernandez72]

You don't see how my answer relates to vpighini's question "Why not say sorreli"??? And even if you don't see how it relates, why take the time to call someone out???

[tbuccoliero]

Articles are not required with terms of family members.

[Stacey87791]

There wasn't any mistakes! Or I didn't pay a lot of attention)

[tbuccoliero]

Articles are used with plural family terms.

Mangano?

[naktinetoja]

No, because then you would pronounce "g" like in "go" and the verb mangiare is with "g" like "gyraffe". The difference in pronounciation depends on wether "i" or "e" is used afterwords. And the same goes for "c": if you see "ci-" or "ce-" then it's pronounced like "ch" in English (for example hi="ciao"; 100="cento"); otherwise it's pronounced as "k" ("caffè").
