We often have to learn similar useful phrases. Remember the electric shoes?
Keyboard: as in a computer's keyboard or an electric piano keyboard?
I tested "... drops" and it was not accepted. Yet in the UK we might use it as much as 'falls' in this context. My dictionary's first choice for drop (intransitive) is 'cadere'.
The part of a guitar where you press the strings down to make particular notes is called the fingerboard.
In this context "off" would be working as a preposition. The sentence would need to determine the "what" with which the keyboard is falling off of.
I made it 'the keyboard falls off' (which seemed to make a bit more sense), given that the hover-over clues give 'falls off' as a legitimate translation. Of course, it marked it wrong.

I said "the computer keyboard falls" - why is that wrong? The hint literally says (computer) keyboard
It probably comes from Vulgar Latin taxito. To feel with the fingers in Dutch is "tasten" which comes from the old French "taster". Funnily enough, this is the only way I can remember that keyboard in Italian is tastiera.

I have a question regarding the pronunciation of "cade" (I can't quite tell from the audio). Is it "ka-Te" with a hard "T", or "ka-THe" as the sound for example of english word "THen" ?
I don't either: why are all the seeds on the outside? I just eat it.
