"Non è così differente."

Translation: It is not so different.

[CecilieO.]

why is it "it" not "he/her"?

[MustaphaHalabi]

I'd like to think that when the subject is not given "lui/lei" it's always "it" since there's no other way to know

[Kmandadad]

I also would like to know why it cannot be "He is not so different"..

[Lng52-._]

He is not so different = Lui non è così diverso.
She is not so different = Lei non è così diversa.

[Terence544359]

can anyone explain why "it is not a different thing" is marked incorrect?

[sharkbbb]

• Non è così differente = It is not so different
• Non è (una) cosa differente = It is not (a) different thing

[Terence544359]

grazie mille

Qual è la differenza tra "differente" e "diverso"?

[avocadohummus]

Someone please answer- why cant it be he/she instead of it?

[One_Trick_Tony]

"We're not so different, you and I."

[JesseHanselman]

diversi/a/e vs differenti/a/e?

[AdiYan12]

diverse vs different :)

[AddyMoreno]

Why did it not accept "It is not different"?

[Graham499194]

Can anyone tell me the difference between "It is not much different" (apparently wrong) and "It is not so different" (apparently right). I'm a native English teacher, and I'm very frustrated!!
