"Non posso vivere senza di te."

Translation: I cannot live without you.

[EstelleTweedie]

Oh dear ..."I cannot live without tea"!

[Teresinha]

Lol... What difference causes a simple accent!

[LlamaNation01]

£20 you're British

[algtjur77]

£50 you're Vietnamese.

[EstelleTweedie]

South African, actually! : )

[StrapsOption]

Seriously, I said the same thing. That is so strange/annoying/useful.

[CoreyK82]

Same.

[dunk999]

Lol. That is what I wrote (tè instead of te). It was accepted though.

[Vivienne-M]

I said the same, and I'm Irish!

[dcounts]

Almost got me. I caught it at the last minute.

[Amanda360437]

Thats exactly what I put (more than once as I didn't stop to read why my answer was wrong!).
(I am English though :). )

[Eduardo705771]

Same here.. can't stop laughing! I really can't live without tea! Let's see how long the chain of posts gets.. ;-)

[martimiz]

Same here seven years later - and I’m dutch

[lexablackbird]

Lol that was my first try too

[SayginKK]

Same same!

Why is "di" needed?

[Borgsdottir]

The preposition "senza" can be used with the preposition "di" before personal pronouns (senza di me, senza di te etc.) and demonstrative pronouns (senza di questo, etc).

[bigdog35]

can be or has to be? does 'senza te' make any sense?

[Borgsdottir]

Great question! You can say "senza te". As a matter of fact, there are beautiful songs in Italian using this phrase.

Mina - Io vivro senza te

Pino Donaggio - Io che non vivo senza te
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UNERhjghT7g

[MarioMares9]

There's also "La mia vita senza te". Bit more modern.

There should be more songs refrences on duolingo!

[linguini_chicken]

Thank you for explaining!

[gkelt1]

So, what is the grammatical case for "senza di te" rather than just "senza te". This comment is welcome, however, it seems "iffy", and, below you say that "senza te" is ok in song. So, back to my original "Q", what is the grammatical rule for use of "di"? Anyone?

[GabrielHar10]

Thank you!

[italiaoo]

Yes, I want to know that too!

[Simi1001]

I wrote I cannot live without tea! Lol!

[LovroV]

Lol you must be british

[snufkings]

everyone here is talking about tea but thanks duolingo for giving me stuff to tell my crush

[Teresinha]

"Io che non vivo più di un'ora senza te..." is a famous canzone italiana....

[JulieSchwe3]

Oops, I walked straight into the tea trap as well! That's what being British is all about, I suppose....it's obviously time for a cuppa to stimulate the grey cells.

[pam403620]

It caught me out as well. And yes I'm British.

[cosmopolita61]

senza di puzzles me too- 2 prepositions?

[srdjansimic]

That was my question. Would a native speaker distinguish between tè and te.

[rbertj]

Am I the only one who has certain song in the head?

[CatSixx]

tulibu dibu douchooo?

[RaldaIT]

If anyone tells you that, RUN.

[Noortjeboom]

Ken leee, tulibi dibu douchooo

[DoughnutDFLL]

How could I live without you...

[Kazz310290]

I put 'it is not possible to' ... rather than 'I cannot' ... and it counted me wrong. Doesn't this mean the same thing?

[Kazz310290]

Sorry. Hard week and no breakfast yet. I've got it now. All good.

[kwinke]

Well... http://italian.about.com/library/fare/blfare157a.htm shows some examples, but not this one particularly.

[HelioSanto]

L'amore è posto

[srdjansimic]

So, how one says i cannot live without tea?

[EstelleTweedie]

There would be a little accent line on top of the "e" to show that it's tea and not you. And I suppose an Italian would be able to distinguish between the pronunciations!

[Jae633849]

Non posso vivere senza di te, ma non posso neanche vivere senza il tè!

[truthorcon]

https://youtu.be/_bQGRRolrg0
I couldn't help but thinking about this song!! Non posso vivere senza di te!

[tinakatz]

Non posso vivere, troppo bisogno di te! Love that song by Phoenix.

[Jilwithonel]

Non posso can be "cannot" or "can't" Duo. Do not (Don't) be ridiculous.

[larry684923]

I can't live if living is without you... Nilsson

[NottheBoson]

This is very poignant coming after "I am ready to die"

[Erated8]

Is there actually a difference in pronounciation between 'Te' and 'Tè'?

[kdb119]

Nearly caught me too. Only saved by it being a tiled listening exercise.
