"I truly think so."

Translation: Penso proprio di sì.

[mangoHero1]

I also put "Veramente penso cosi" and it works. :)

[coledanielj]

As did "Penso proprio così"

[Judi362744]

It didnt work for me. June 14, 2017

[TitoB.Yoto]

"Io penso veramente cosi" was accepted Dec. 5, 2019.

[Andy73322]

I put 'penso cosi veramente' and was marked wrong - is it just the word order?

[Milana415377]

what does "di si" mean? "of it"? "Penso proprio di si" is wright.

[GfKi91]

"di sì" means "so"

[Douglas381466]

Earlier, "propia/proprio" were used in the context of her/his own, as in "lei ha la propria cena," or "lui ha il proprio coltello." How does proprio now work in this new context?

[coledanielj]

Recognize that proprio (His/Her/Its/Their own) is an adjective and describes a noun:
L’animale mangia il proprio cibo. (The animal eats its own food.)

Proprio is also an adverb, as in this exercise, meaning Really, Truely, Right, Exactly, modifying the verb:
Mi hai proprio annoiata. (You have really annoyed me.)

[Douglas381466]

Many thanks for this wonderfully clear explanation! I hope that I'm not the one doing the annoying . . .

[coledanielj]

Haha - an unfortunate example (and not meant to condemn).

[ShanWang10]

why is 'lo penso davvero" wrong

[VC8992]

add 'così' to the end

[calixm]

Why not "Lo penso veramente"?

[freyja1]

you didn't use 'cosi' [so]. Penso veramente cosi would have been correct

[Wille809078]

I did the same.

[JennaHO]

I put veramente penso di si and it was counted correct. Is this a decent way of saying it or is penso proprio di si the only appropriate way?

[ArgentaMoon]

I put "Io davvero penso cosi" and it was correct.

[Gal.Gutterman]

"Penso davvero di sì"? what is "davvero"?

[dnovinc]

davvero is an adverb that can mean really, truly, genuinely, actually...

[Gal.Gutterman]

thanks

[_Kseniia_]

But penso davvero di si means i really think yes. Or i'm wrong?

[freyja1]

in a direct translation from english to italian, but not everything is translated word for word

[EvFan92]

I put penso davvero così... was marked wrong, should it have been accepted?

[marygbaker]

Why is "Davvero lo penso" wrong?

[JoshuaKnic]

That would be more like "I really think it."

[Ruckelhaxan]

Why was "Davvero io penso così" rejected? Or rather, why was "io" crossed out in the correct answer?

[roman2095]

Duo often leaves out the subject pronoun in the list of correct answers. Putting the adverb first is OK for emphasis so I think you got rejected for putting in the io even though it is not actually wrong. You cannot put the adverb between the subject and the verb though.

[Ariaflame]

Because it should be after the io, not before.

[gbambirra]

Couldn't i say: " penso veramente che si"?

[cuylerotsuka]

I'm guilty of having done this too! I've been told by Italians that "penso che sì" ("pienso que sí") is a Spanish-ism, although if I'm not mistaken even French and Portuguese use "que" in these cases as well.

Instead of che (Spanish "que"), Italians only use "di" in this case — penso di sì; credo di sì; spero di sì. I hope that helps!

[Cristina829024]

I also wrote that...

[Sofe175]

does anyone have a better explanation of why "di si" please

[onlyonepinman]

What is the purpose of the "di sì"?

[Virtue.]

Can "ne" be used in this sentence? I am still trying to acknowledge the existance of this word :D

[JoshuaKnic]

"ne" is more like "of them/it" or "for them/it." It often acts as a replacement for a prepositional phrase.

[Lidia49450]

"penso cosi davvero" is also marked as wrong.. is it because of the end position of davvero ?

[CharlesRit3]

Io penso davverro così was accepted as correct, but DL said that I had a typo. Presumably my typo is così instead of di sì.

[GustavoNeer]

Your typo is "davverro". Davvero is correct

[CharlesRit3]

Oops. Of course. I'm embarrassed. Thanks

[Tina745785]

I wasn't sure about this answer, but system accepted. Io proprio penso così.

[Claudia299216]

Is di sì more common than così?

[SarahSamue296461]

Lo penso davvero is also correct. Do not say it is wrong when it is right. You need to know a language very well so that you do not tell people they are wrong when they are right!!!. Perhaps a qualified person should be teaching this course.

[PeterSigno3]

lo proprio penso così. Accepted Wednesday 20-Oct-2021

[Alan.Howes]

So 'cosi' cannot go at the beginning?

[Marta26249]

Would Lo penso davvero work?

[coledanielj]

That is translated into "I really mean it. "

[Lourivette]

Lo penso savvero

[kayra91680]

How would an Italian say this?

[DaveScott449673]

google transltes this as" Lo penso davvero" Duolingo marks this incorrect ????????????????

[Heidi304282]

All, use caution with "Lo" (the) and "Io" (I) penso/think

[Moni532]

" Io penso davvero "...Is it wrong?

[nwnash]

It must be an Italian idiom. Literally give means I think really of yes. Clearly makes no sense in English

[PeterSigno3]
