"The entrance is completely free."

Translation: L'entrata è completamente gratuita.

[MABBY]

What is the difference between "gratuita" and "libera" ? Is it that money is involved-- no cost (gratuita), instead of freedom (libera)?
I was marked incorrect for using libera, but the entrance could be "completely free" (of people; the people implied by the situation).

[BevanJarvis]

"Libera" would mean anyone can enter; "gratuita" means noone pays.

[siebolt]

Both are possible

[GuerraAmanda]

Libero = state of something or someone that isn't stuck with anything, that's free [to do what he wants].
Gratuito = that requires no money

[wiplala]

libera is accepted now

what's the difference between completamente and assolutamente?

[formaggiamente]

The former means "completely", and the latter means "absolutely".

[viceversa42]

Thanks!

[GuerraAmanda]

"Absolutely" has somehow a negative meaning in English, doesn't it? Does it have it too in Italian?

[LINBUR0100]

I know of no negative meaning in English for absolutely.

[xxChristina]

"Absolutely" doesn't have a negative meaning unless you're saying absolutely not (ie. "Mamma, voglio la gonna!/Mommy, I want the skirt!" "Assolutamente non!/Absolutely not!"

How do I know when to swap around the last two words? In this case it's "conpletamente gratuita" and based on previous exercises, I thought you needed to swap those sometimes...

[mamorim1]

I had never seen entrance in a context like that. I thought that it meant the gates to an arena for instance. But insomma, they meant the ticket to see the show is totally free of charge. Oh Dear God, help me learn this language complicate!!

[italiaoo]

Sh...! "gratuita" was not in the hoovering peeking list ;-( I have to do the lesson again to keep my streak...

sorry for posting personal sorrow ;-)

[wiplala]

Poor you, that's what we all have to deal with. Keep smiling! ;)

[Sassicat]

We share your pain!!

What is the difference between 'gratis' and 'gratuita'? Probably a dumb question but hey

[GuerraAmanda]

Does the word "gratis" really exist in Italian? That would be things easier for me, it's just like my language xD

[flaoxxx]

Yes, we use more Gratis than Gratuita. ;-)

[arandaneri]

Same diference and if you are learning Spanish, it is the same diference, meanings -and spellings.

[deactivated user]

While I understand that "libero" and "gratuita" are different concepts of freedom, how are we meant to know which one you mean, Duolingo?

[DaRichta]

why does duo not accept "assolutamente" or even "totalmente" ?? no reason i could find !!

[Inksi]

L'ingresso or entrance?

[Che68052]

Why not l'ingresso for entrance?

[anthony799024]

Apparently "gratis" is accepted as well 5/9/2019
