"Is it asking too much?"

Translation: È chiedere troppo?

[Marie_Mir]

"È troppo da chiedere?" - totally wrong? and if it is, how?

[DarienGS]

I went for "è troppo a domandare?" - no good?

Hi Darien, I'm a bit confused by your comment and have been similarly confused by other people's comments on similar questions. I was looking at a page that asked me to "Mark all correct translations" -- so it was a multiple choice question. Your comment suggests you were asked to translate a text. Is the same text used by Duolingo for other questions. I'm just interested in how Duolingo is working.

[SimonKoch-Sultan]

Are you using the Duolingo app, gordon? I know that it has fewer direct translations than the computer version.

[gordon_gregory]

Hi Simon, No I don't use the DL app, I use the DL webpage on my laptop.

[SimonKoch-Sultan]

Okay, then. You probably just didn't get that sentence in the same form as Darien. Duolingo cannot give all sentences in every format all the time. Otherwise, lessons would be very long.

I guess "Sta domandando troppo?" was too literal a translation?

[LPTItalianGuy]

It's a question of the use of the infinitive as opposed to the gerund. I think "sta domandando" is "she/he is asking". You want the infinitive here.

[HarryNorder]

In the lessons the correct answer was" e troppo da chiedere".

In the test they use al kind of different texts to make it harder to pass. And i bet if i followed all ten lessons i would never read 3 out of 10 questions they put in each test.
