"I'm getting it."

Translation: Je la prends.

[Aelfwine81]

I think that "I'll take it" would be a better interpretation of "Je la prends"

[Billfrench]

but i believe that you have moved into future tense: i'll (i WILL) take/get it

[CLF-Temple]

why isn't je l'obtiens acceptable?

[Maxidou1]

In my opinion "Je l'obtiens" is better because "Je le prends" means "I am taking it".

[GraemeSarg]

I don't think that it works in Duo's intended "shopping" context, but nevertheless it is a valid translation. Report it.

Interesting thing about this phrase is that in American english, "I'm getting it," is also a colloquialism for, "I'm understanding it."
To avoid any confusion I chose to use ça. "Je prends ça." Which Duolingo accepted....

Does this colloquialism exist in the french?

Lucky you, no need to brag ;-)

[Serratiger]

Is "J'y prends" grammatically incorrect, or am I missing something here with the meaning?

[GraemeSarg]

I can't think of any context where you would use "prendre à qch", so I reckon it's grammatically incorrect.

[Maxidou1]

@Serratiger "J'y prends" is perfectly correct if you don't omit something after like" J'y prends goût" ==> "I am enjoying it, I am getting a taste for it".

[JoergenOlsen]

Je le prends must be correct?

[GraemeSarg]

It is correct, yes. "Must" implies that it's the only option, which is obviously not a correct implication.
