"Mangiamo pesce stanotte."

Translation: We eat fish tonight.

[NinjaRafter]

Stanotte ceniamo nell'inferno?

[Nitram.]

I heard 'mangiamo pesce sono te', which has no sense at all, but I simply couldn't hear 'stanotte' at all. Why can't they record these texts by natives???

[olefattguy]

I believe it is computer generated...?
Keeps the costs down a good bit. Duolingo is free to use, remember?

[dnovinc]

yes, they use TTS ( text to speach). if you want to know more, there are discussions in general section about should it be TTS, recordings by professionals, natives, or even by users themselves. I prefer current option.

[olefattguy]

I agree that TTS is probably the best bet for Duolingo at this point in time. Eventually they probably should record native speakers in a controlled studio to get consistency and a more natural audio feature.

[dnovinc]

I hear "stanotte".

[Nitram.]

Sure, if you heard the right word once, you won't hear anything else afterwards. I also hear stanotta now, but didn't before. :P

[Monro86]

In my experience, its much harder to understand native speakers until you have a good mind for the context of a conversation. Whenever I learn languages, I always find the most difficulty with comprehension.

[Erick_Gomez]

and yet no comment about the shark in Nemo yelling out: "We're having fish tonight!" o.O

[mangoHero1]

So are stanotte and stasera basically the same thing?

[raintortoise]

I think stasera is 'this evening' whereas stanotte is 'tonight'

[iair82]
