"We play on the balcony."

[GlenM]

I said 'Suoniamo' rather than 'Giochiamo.' Why is this wrong?

[Julia...]

In Italian, Giochiare is the verb for 'to play' as in playing games or joking around, while Suonare is the verb for 'to sound' or to play music. Hope I could helped you !!

Yes I know, but I put 'giochiamo';as in 'playing',but still got it wrong;even though DL translation was the same as mine.

It isn't, it should be accepted since you could play a game or guitar on the balcony.

[TanyaBella76]

Yes, me too...even though their translation for'play' was 'giochiamo'....im confused!

[GlenM]

Thank you for your help

[Julia...]

Welcome :)

Is "nel balcone" not possible?

[GlenM]

I don't think so since that would mean 'In the balcony'. I know one can't really compare prepositions from language to language, but in English we would never say 'In the balcony' but always 'on', even if the balcony were enclosed.

If Duolingo wants to test us on verbs, then they shouldn't make the correct choice obvious by not capitalizing the other options
