"Voglio un pettine."

Translation: I want a comb.

[blazmah]

It didn't accept 'I want a decoration on Venetian gondolas'... :((((

[Teresinha]

Much more interesting....

[CoolStuffYT]

Yeah Imagine "I want a decoration on Venetian gondolas."

[Tony647514]

one possible reply for me was "disease"... like who wouldn't want one of those _.

[wiplala]

why should you want that?? ;-)))

[blazmah]

It's always useful to have one, don't you agree? :D

[Boudicca23]

One of the suggested answers was 'pecten' - I have no idea what that is - anyone know??

[jordy]

pec·ten

1. any of a number of comblike structures occurring in animal bodies, in particular.

2. a scallop.

As an extra treat, see these Google image results for why we would call a scallop a pecten:

Comb-pettine in spanish, peine o peinilla

[IdeanBehfo]

What is the difference betwewn peine and peinilla? (I'm working on my Spanish too!)

[SofiaSanch961561]

I'm a native Spanish speaker and I've never heard of "peinilla" before. I suppose it must be just a different way of saying "peine" used in some countries.

[nochu971]

same never heard "peinilla" ever

[ayoubfalah656]

I generally need a comb, rather than want a comb

[Nicole_Di_Kansas]

Devo avere un pettine.
I must have a comb.
O
Ho bisogno di un pettine.
I need a comb.

[wiplala]

yeah, you have a point there... :-)

[Nasser381]

Where could I find the grammatical rules

[quacks4italian]

I hate this new format! all the italian (or english) words are there to select from. You don't have to know anything!

[nochu971]

laughs in Argentinean (only they will understand)

[GregWright402806]

I entered "I want a comb." but the system says I'm wrong :(

[MeuamP]

He pronounces pettine with a "t" sound at the beginning.

[Carlo522814]

Why " I want a hair comb " is it wrong ?
