"La pasta nel piatto è la tua."

Translation: The pasta on the plate is yours.

[Enpointe]

And the pasta on the floor is mine...

[Katiemullins1]

I know that we were translating INTO English (which I did) but could the original have also been "la pasta nel piatto e tua" thus omitting the article before 'tua'? Would that have been correct in Italian?

[SanneTofte]

I would say yes to your question.

[DaveCoale]

I would like to know the difference as to when to use "la tea" vs. just "tea."

[Fjompeji]

The voice says "nelle" and not "nel" EVERY time!

[ClareInBoots]

The "correct" translation is given as "The pasta on the plate is yours" . . I wrote "The pastry on the plate is yours" and was marked incorrect?? I would like to debate this point as the word pasta can mean pasta and pastry.

[Diffal]

I agree, in fact the more technically correct word for pasta(like penne etc.) is pastasciutta which has been shortened through use to simply pasta

[GACowherd]

I wrote "The paste on the plate is yours" and it wasn't accepted. Should have been.

[Virgil50AD]

Pasta does mean pasta!

[Sionel]

Not "The pasta is on your plate" then? Hmm.

[MeMak1]

That would be "La pasta è nel tuo piatto" with your modifying the plate rather than the pasta

[Sionel]

Thanks again.

[Gwyllem]

"Your pasta is on the plate" has the same meaning and is an acceptable English sentence.

[CarlaCulve]

Are we discussing the pasta (fem) or the plate (masc)?

Not enough words
