"Fortunatamente, non è morto."

Translation: Fortunately, he is not dead.

[tobithegreat]

I can see no reason why "Fortunately, it's not dead." was not accepted. Am I wrong and just missing something, or is Duo wrong?

[Nitram.]

Duo is wrong. It's correct to say.

[xikst1]

Yes it could be he/it

[santaspirito]

I agree. One could be referring to an animal or insects.

[JoakinGibran]

duolingo is wrong in this one! :(

[gonsena]

I think they do not consider animals here

[anna857144]

More death from duo

[AuntieE]

How would one know if its he she or it is not dead.

[Annalinda13]

If it were she it would be "morta"

[BilingualAndy]

"it is not dead" is still, wrongly, not accepted.

[mangoHero1]

Because you need to put fortunately.

[SalahHagAb]

I also translate the phrase it is not dead , maybe a mascular animal like un cavallo

[Fishing19]

Same here!

[uppergardiner]

I am fed up with synonyms proposed in "hint" by Duolingo, which are not accepted. It's perfectly correct to say "Happily, he is not dead".

[erroid]

so what is wrong with "happily he is not dead"?

[phil521387]

I have no idea. It seems a possible translation (or DL wouldn't offer it, presumably) and it sounds fine to me as a native English speaker.

[Jae633849]

È davvero fortunato questo!

"Fortunately, she is not dead."

[AdamDalton1]

Fortunately you are not dead if speaking formally ??
