"L'acqua entra dal tetto."

Translation: Water enters through the roof.

[BettyRitch1]

using the word 'enter' in this context is too formal. we'd always use 'comes in'

[paulsward]

I don't think any on ein the UK would say "Water enters through the roof"! I put " "Water is coming in through the roof" and it was not allowed. Why not? Should be accepted.

[BampaOwl]

And imo 'water is coming through the roof' should be accepted. Without the 'in'. Reported.

[Rodney614828]

"Through" is surely superfluous but I was marked wrong for the simple "The water enters the roof "

[sberque]

How about water comes through the roof. This was not accepted.

[Christine969755]

I was marked as wrong saying coming in through the roof, which I think is a better translation.

[JaneT.12]

An English person would say "Water is coming/getting in through the roof

True story at my house last month.. :(

[emily.r.ch]

Why was 'The water enters through the roof' not accepted?

[Wira_basa]

Finally, Duolingo has accepted it.

[MarkLerno]

Water gets in through the roof.

[malcolmissimo]

'da' means 'from', not 'through'. With this small change, yours would be a better translation into the English idiom, i.e. in real life we'd be as likely, or more likely, to say water gets in rather than water comes in. It should be allowed.

[Anne609994]

Surely I can say "by the roof"

[Ian413516]

'The roof leaks' , an incorrect translation , how is that?

[Armando787]

Water comes in from the roof accepted

[Ary216575]

why is "the water comes from the roof"not accepted?

[Napolitana2015]

Why I was marked wrong saying "the water enters through the roof " ?
When in the sentence clearly is l'acqua..

[MartinaNic136314]

should be 'from' the roof

[waltercade]

pedantry in the translation. "coming through the roof" is what a native speaker of english would say.
