"L'acqua entra dal tetto."

[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.

[sberque]

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

[BampaOwl]

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

True story at my house last month.. :(

[LadyLukara]

wait! i thought the house doesn't even have a roof...

[emily.r.ch]

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

[Tony415411]

Water comes in the roof??

[Eva206958]

The water comes from the roof- is not accepted :(

[BettyRitch1]

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

[Marees]

this is previously translated as ceiling -yet when you translate using duolingo's translation it is WRONG! Very frustrating, especially when one knows that volta OR soffitto mean ceiling

[Eleniny]

Just for the record:

Tetto = roof;
Soffitto = ceiling;
Volta = vault

It may well be that they didn't get it right in every instance, so send that feedback!

[wiplala]

thanks, this is very usefull! :)

[Ariaflame]

grazie - In this case before it gets to the ceiling the water would have to come in through the roof (unless you've got a leaking tank up there)

[siebolt]

sympathize with you. Use feedback, eventually it will get better. Italian was Beta not so long ago.

[Chris123456]

Yes. I totally understand too having somehow struggled through the course over the last few months despite its idiosyncrasies. But we have to bear in mind it is free and every time we improve it by flagging up a problem it will get better for others to use in the future. Worth losing a few hearts over in my opinion!

tthe roof is leakinf is a better translation but not for duo
