"Gli daranno la giusta lezione."

Translation: They will give him the right lesson.

[carli1195]

Is this differentiating between a correct and an incorrect lesson, or is it equivalent to the English idiom 'to teach someone a lesson'

[sandrabruck]

it's an idiomatic expression.

[baronfluffbunny]

...And what is its equivalent in english? In English idiom "to teach someone a lesson" means to punish them. It has a cruel connotation rather than an educational one.

[MarieSalisbury]

what word indicates "him" ?

[Marko825823]

lui= he, lo= him, gli= to him
lei=she, la=her, le= to her

[JoSZke]

Great answer. Suddenly it makes sense

Gli

[XyloPiano]

"Boss, someone deleted the app instead of doing their daily lesson! What do we do?!"
"Send out... the Duo squad. They will give him the right lesson..."

[EdwardDunne]

Why not: "they will give the right lesson to him"?

[DanEllingw]

Why does 'giusta' preceed 'lezione'?

[Francesca12991]

Why is "They will give the right lesson to him" marked wrong by DL?

[I-AM-THE-STAR]

Perché non dirà di sì e non accetterà il suo crimine ;-)

[Tinyset]

What's happened to "Lo daranno la giusta lezione"?

[Langston769884]

Indirect object. Gli=A lui=(give it) to him

[kotor55]

This doesn't make any sense, as the meaning is to TEACH SOMEONE A LESSON. So the translation is along this line.

[sadeghTabibniya]

Why "The will give him the correct lesson" is incorrect?

[BobPonte]

If you had started your answer with "They", DUO might have accepted it. But as mentioned above, this is an idiom that suggests "he" has done something wrong and needs to be punished in some way. Simply, "teach him a lesson" can imply a punishment.

[Inksi]

"La giusta lezione " here and "questa lezione facile" there?

[TwjStary3]

Gli sounds like yeee from dinosaur meme

[Laur1e]

Despite all the comments, I am unsure if the real meaning of this idiom is equivalent to "They will teach him a lesson", meaning they will punish him, or not. If it is equivalent, then the DL answer is very misleading. It would be great if sandrabruck, who is always so very helpful, could give us just that little bit more information.
