"The man drinks both beer and wine."

[bmartin618]

Why not "L'uomo beve sia birra sia vino." ?

[dankerschen]

This was also accepted for me, maybe that's new.. I'm also unsure what to choose in the future now, tho

[MayMai]

Does anyone know why 'sia birra che vino'? Would the literal translation be 'both beer that wine'? And what does 'che' means here and why is it being used? #Confused

[Ariaflame]

The second sia and che I think are interchangeable. As to why, I don't remember, but I used l'uomo beve sia birra sia vino and it accepted it fine.

On multiple choice, an option was "L'uomo americano beve la birra."
