"Lascia perdere!"

Translation: Forget it!

[RAKIYOSHI]

Can't hold it back anymore.

[Lily_blue]

no NO!!! get it out of my head! XD

[Lavmarx]

Il resto è storia ormai che passa e se ne va! Io lo so, sì lo so! Come il sole tramonterò, perché poi, perché poi all'alba sorgerò!

[wiplala]

a song I presume? What's the title so I can look it up in You Tube. :)

[CoolStuffYT]

It's a song from Disney's "Frozen".

[51Jane]

Or The Beatles "Let It Be"

[Jae633849]

Thanks for the earworm!

[travel.linguist]

Like "Laisse tomber!" in French.

[lumna]

You can sayit to console a sorry person( do not worry /think about it, let it be/go), or when you are annoyed (drop it).

[kucas]

How would you use it in a sentence?

Like: sto male, then reply: lascia perdere

[konsuntier]

What is the literal meaning of that sentence? Leave lose it?

[Jeffrey855877]

I think it's "Leave (it) (to be) lost"

[darkpeak]

In English (England) 'Leave it!' meaning 'forget about it' very emphatic

[MatthewEll15]

I'm surprised there are no frozen references here

[mitch.salm]

The theory is there were...

[frank515984]

there are.

[AnnaGuaGua]

why isn't "leave it be" acceptable? 1/15/18

[Giuliaccia]

"Leave it be" is a correct translation and should be acceptable, but Duo can't enter every possible idiom.

[Antonio351936]

Thanks

[paulmacd]

"Let it go" is accepted

[Jeffrey855877]

I think Duo should accept "Faggidaboudit!" ;-)'

[Quinesan]

Could "Leave it lost!" be a more literal translation?

[lumna]

No. It's an idiom.

[Carmen_CostaRica]

"Lascia perdere" is an idiomatic expression that means "forget it". How on earth would I know this? The objective of this unit is to learn commands, not idiomatic expressions. :/

[Tom599990]

Some thoughtful free service might slip it into a lesson you were taking.

[deactivated user]

Well said, Assumedly there is "Cockney rhyming slang" on the English from Italian tree.

[verna120098]

There is a popular dish of rice and peas that sounds like risi pisi. Tutto facciamo cosi

[Carissa789117]

To all you Frozen fans, just let it go.

[RonRGB]

imperativo presente [lasciàre pèrdere] = present imperative [to forget it]

Làscia pèrdere! [non lasciàre pèrdere] (tu) .......... Forget it! [Don't forget it!] (informal, singular)

Làsci pèrdere! (egli) .......... Forget it! (formal, singular)

Lasciàmo pèrdere! (noi) .......... Let's forget it!

Lasciàte pèrdere! (voi) .......... Forget it! (informal, plural)

Làscino pèrdere! (essi) .......... Forget it! (forma, plural)

[VirginiaTh509525]

How do you get "leave it alone" out of this? Is it an idiomatic expression? How would we know this?

[Charlieworth]

Or if you're in a Martin Scorsese film: "Forgedddaboudit!"

[omer186370]

There is not direct object, is this an idiom?
I would expect it to be "lo lascia perdere"
Can it also mean "let her go"?

[pinky738990]

Leave it lost? I guess its a turn of phrase, but it would be helpful to have a section devoted to just this sort of thing. I love Duo. It really is remarkable, especially at no charge, but figures of speech are confusing without context to someone learning a new language.

[silkwarrior]

Is "get lost" an acceptable translation?

[Giuliaccia]

"Get lost" (as in "scram") would be "vattene" (get out of here) or "va via."

[Jeff_Alfa]

The only way I ever heard "get lost" is "(You) get lost", meaning you physically go away from here! Probably not.

[LuisCastil535476]

I try to write the answer forget it, let it go as it shows on the answers but it is not accepted as a correct answer, then it doesn't alow me to go on with the next excercises.

[seckhoff]

Ho fatto la risposta corretto ma Duolingo non accetta.

[RachelDett2]

I wrote that 4 times and I am told it is incorrect!!!!!

[lindaugo]

How do I get beyond this when I enter the correct answer as real times and I can't get past this

[LiManu11]

"give up" or "give it up" sounds good, doesn't it ?

[Dev502125]

Not for me personally, as a native English speaker. Giving something up suggests to stop attempting or doing something, which isn't really used when talking about a thought.

[Bent937719]

let it g!

[DonaldDuck45]

I am writing correctly it and keep getting it wrong. I already did it like ten times. Something must be wrong with the program. Fed up

[michelle381075]

this is not responding correctly

[Millacnin]

I find it hilarious how nobody can sing the song in English because it's the answer to the question.

[Bent937719]

let it be!

[p.i.a]

I've never seen so many deleted comments. Makes me wonder what all you guys wrote. Hmmm.

[AlisonKidd3]

why not Get Lost?

[NailAbbasov]

?

[triplecanopy]

My first thought was dimenticarlo

[Popcorn122]

In the US forget it, is the same as , let it go, as far as the meaning.

[Kate3010]

Get Lost?
