I had a nephew do that, once. My sister-in-law and her family were stuck inside during a bad rainstorm. He found and ate several handfuls out of a five-pound bag of sugar. He was about 18 months old at the time. I believe they eventually had to scrape him off the ceiling.
Me too. I do not understand why some people does not like it. Maybe i am eating sugar so much...
At cross country meets, me and my friends take sugar packets from the concession table and do 'sugar shots'. It's pretty fun. XD

Diabetes is a horrible disease! My dad died from it; I've known kids in their early teens to die from it. Eat as little sugar, even in foods, as possible. It's a drug, not a food, so it's hard to give up, but it's worth it, my friend.

@siot, but first @marti_MG, I think siot began with "I'm sorry" as in, "for your loss" (i give benefit of the doubt), because I just saw this too and if it weren't for your post, I would not have realized my (possible) mistake -- a big one! here's my response:
@siot rather than proselytize with unnecessary beliefs, a follower of Truth and true religion would show compassion for others' hardships and encourage efforts to strengthen others' helpfulness. That's the result of True religion.
Ya know, pretty much everything is bad for you nowadays.
So the way I see it-
You can live longer without satisfaction,
Or die a couple years sooner having been happy.

a song reference from Marry Poppins!!
"A spoonful of sugar makes the medicine go down, the medicine go down, the medicine go down.
A spoonful of sugar makes the medicine go down in the most delightful way !!
I have diabetes so when there is a italian asking Tu mangi zucchero? ill be like yea man
not necessarily. although I believe this comment was sarcastic. there are types of diabetes where you suffer from low blood sugar, or when you have a low blood sugar you should eat something with some sort of glucose, now just a spoonful of sugar isn't a good idea but.
Well possibly some do. But also let's not forget not all DL sentences are logical. That's half the fun.
Indeed, they make them at least somewhat interesting. I wonder if they figured this out and may have did this on purpose. Although, nothing beats the illogicalness (is that a word?) of the first few lessons in Brazilian Portuguese
In restaurants of India, you will be given a little bowl of sugar alongside the bill after having your lunch or dinner there.
I know there is a person I know that if u hand her anything sugery she will litteraly bounce off walls
as a child i did eat lots of them. Especially in the morning. I do not know, i was poor and i did not have nutella or other suitable alternatives.
Yeah.I eat sugar sometimes but..really? Eating sugar will make you sick. I've been stuck in the house for 3 weeks because of eating too much sugar....
I eat little 10 g packages of vanilla-burbon flavoured sugar sometimes when I'm stressed and don't have anything
Not only that, but I guessed zucchini on an earlier one and didn't get it marked wrong, so...
Zuccherare is the act of adding sugar, and it's a verb :)
Zuccheriera instead is the sugar dispenser.
Hello can you help me?how can i find the answer of my question in this ap between other post?if u know this please send me an email f.shams10@yahoo.com
Are these words supposed to not have articles? I took 2 years of Italian in college and I don't remember this being a situation where articles aren't necessary.
It's not mandatory, but it's possible to leave out the article. If you mean sugar in itself or a specific sugar it should be "mangio lo zucchero", but if you simply mean an unspecified amount of sugar it could be either "mangio dello zucchero" or "mangio zucchero".
"Io mangio lo zucchero" should not be incorrect in that case.
According to my Italian teacher from Rome "dzukkero" is the way to go.

Good points! Can an Italian native weigh in on the "Z" pronunciation? Is at "tsukkero" or "dzukkero?" Is it a regional thing?
I wish they didnt doc u for spelling (at least if you spell it somewhat close) :(
Hey guys, is it "Io mangio lo zucchero" ( I eat THE sugar) or is "Io mangio zucchero " fine? Going back to a previous problem, Io mangio pane was translated to I eat bread (plural) but the correct way was Io mangio il pane ( I eat the bread)
If you are saying "I eat (some) bread/sugar" then you can omit the article io mangio pane/zucchero. But if you are eating a specific piece of bread, then you need mangio il pane.
Lets get this comment to 10000000000000 likes! All I got to do is say hi.
I saw that word for the the first time and shouted ZUCCHINI. A bit disappointed, actually.

When the following noun (if masculine) begins with a z or s + consonant, the il changes to a lo
Gross. I will not stop the clutter!!!!!!! It is very often i stick my hand in the sugar jar and I help myself, so, I'm normal.
I am the only one that though it sounded like an n at the end of mongio? Or is that the actual pronunciation of the word? I really wanna know.
I spelled sugar wrong in Italian by one letter and it was considered "wrong!"
Another wonderful, completely extraordinary sentence from 2Lingo. Grazie! L.E

Dude, I'm screaming into the phone's microphone but all I see is "It doesn't seem right!"
It just kinda makes more sense for the answer to be lunch. Especially with no previous hints as to what zucchero could be D:
It's wrong. The italians always put ahaed the articles. I know because I'm Italian ;) Io mangio lo zucchero...
I learn italian, because I heared Sfera Ebbasta and Capo Plaza (italian trap) and I said '' I don't know what the heck is talking they? ''

Is it just me or someone else can also hear a "L" before zucchero if you listen in normal speed??
Sugar is in almost everything - even things, that do not taste sweet. So we are all eating sugar all the time, actually.
Here we go again. It's one thing to tell your Spanish friends about your sugar eating habits, but to then go and tell your Italian friends, too? No
Wait people eat sugar ALONE like a get a bottle of sugar and dump it in my mouth yup realistic
I would not think that many people eat sugar, a more literal translation would be "I take sugar"
i put a the!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!and do people eat sugar???????????????
Like If i get the word "Sugar" Wrong It Should Just Leave It Right....Duh I Was Going Fast.....Plus Whats The Diffrens- And Do People Even EAT Literlly Sugar? That Would Tast BAD And Disgusting....EWW!
I would think they do! We put it on cereal, plenty of gorme chiefs use it in many different dishes i think. We perhaps do not eat plain sugar on a regular basis but we certainly do eat it...!
As an american it seems weird to imagine someone sitting on the couch eating sugar XD
i speak french by native. i wonder if we say "i eat sum sugar" or "i eat sugar". because when learning english it was said that we need to put a "some" before uncountable nouns. the software rejects my answer when i put "i eat some sugar". Can you help me
I Think It Should Be Teaching Us How To Call People Sugar Instead Of Telling People To Eat It
I've been repeatedly typing in the right answer and keep saying it's the wrong answer
why not "Io mango lo zucccero." like Io mango il pane? We leave the lo out?Yes?
In Italian it would be more correct to use the article (=> lo zucchero) or to say "Io mangio dello zucchero = I eat some sugar" ... related to teh question if people eat sugar ... we do... (I am Italian) ... not very often ... but especially when you are young and there are no sweets in the house and you are craving for sweets... honely is less frequently available... (at least this was normal at my times.... sorry)
My doubt is about the use of the article "lo" before zucchero. When do I have to use it?
Why is "Io mangio lo zucchero" correct also "Io mangio zucchero" too? Why put the lo before zucchero if it doesn't matter?
May I ask something concerning the language, please? Why is it just zucchero here when with the same English translation Duo asks to answer with lo zucchero? I always thought this is a must...

The last exercise I put io mangio zucchero and it said I was wrong and needed to put lo zucchero I put in the word 'the' in the next exercise but said it I should have not put it....yet the words to translate were io mangio zucchero (I woukd have put I eat sugar if tge last exercise hadn't told me to put in the word lo!!) Getting confused!
I find this to be not only concerning for the health of the Italian people but fod thise that actually eat just plain sugar
I find this concerning not only for the health of the Italian population but for all those that just eat plain sugar

Hello ! I thought it was always " lo zucchero ". Is it because it's some kind of plural uncountable sugar ?
- 1260
Lo zucchero is the sugar. The article is ommitted here as it is just talking about sugar in general
This app used to accept misspelt words; are all answers marked as incorrect if there is misspelling? My answer included "zucherro" instead of "zucchero". Isn't it clear what my intention was?
There are so many comments on here about eating sugar, but in the UK, we do not say "do you eat sugar". If a visitor to the UK was invited to have tea or coffee, their host would definitely not say "do you eat sugar", they would say "do you take sugar", as in "would you like sugar added to your tea or coffee?" English language learners intending to visit the UK should get used to using the term "do you take sugar?"
[Search domain forum.duolingo.com/comment/926519/I-eat-sugar] https://forum.duolingo.com/comment/926519/I-eat-sugar "Mangio zucchero" means "I eat sugar" in the sense that you eat some portion of sugar. So there are three different situatiins. In Italian you cannot really differentiate between A and B, in English you can't differentiate between B and C. June 11, 2020. agusicx. 170;
