"She drinks beer."

Translation: Lei beve birra.

[chrisli]

is it me or this lesson speaks a lot about beer?

[jaye16]

@ chrisli You read my mind. It might need a parental guidance notice.

[catebell]

I mean it's just a word. It wouldn't hurt to learn it if you hear it in the real world on a regular basis. That's just something that unfortunately can't ever be heard less frequently.

[Felo740]

I actually had that problem with all the languages.

@chrisli
Theyre drunk amf me pooooo hahahahvvvv

[legokid_9407]

Theyre drunk and me too.
Translated from drunk-sober

[Coen.deJong]

Why isn't it "Lei beve LA birra", seems inconsistent because it is "Io mangio LO zucchero" which translates to "I eat sugar"? Grammar wise it appears to be the same sentence (to me)

[Joshua.Anderson]

I'm still having trouble conjugating. In this case, beve. I'm still quite confused on how to make sure I'm using these verbs correctly. Any advice on this? Anything that someone would use to remember this better?

[KevinClark8]

Charts always helped me visualize conjugations.

io _ . _ . _ noi

tu _ . _ . _ voi

lui/lei _ ._ loro

Are the pronouns for the conjugation of bere:

bevo _ . _ . _ beviamo

bevi _ . _ . _ bevete

beve _ . _ . bevono

Can't up vote this enough

I took Spanish in high school so I am familiar with conjugation patterns. It might help if you spend a little time memorizing the basic patterns of conjugating regular verbs. Once you get the pattern down, it will start to come together a lot easier. Here's a website with the basics: http://italian.about.com/library/nosearch/nblfare198a.htm

[Thehungergames1]

I know Spanish so the verbs are similar and like I drink is io bevo. I always ends in o. stuff like that

[lizzy94121]

Why can't I say: "lei beve una birra"?

[Anita388049]

Becaus the english doesn't say "she drinks A beer (as in A glass right now) but "she drinks beer" ( generally she is a beer drinker)

[YNOT-TONY]

I thought all nouns in Italian needs an "un" or "una" even they are not needed in English, so I also used una birra, and it says it's wrong... so weird.

[RoDiazG]

Now we have to know how to say SHE IS ALREADY DRUNK

[Big__T__]

Lei un briagado

[Felo740]

What does "Sperperare bevendo" means?

[DanVR07]

Ella beve patata had me laughing out loud.

[Hylia_YourGrace]

I DO NOOOOOOTTT!! >:( I NEVER WILL IN MY WHOLE LIFE!!

[gwen863193]

You (Dou) said to never forget THE in Italian but you have. Very inconsistent

[t8hev.iol5ist.6]

Note that the question did not say "She drinks the beer" but rather "she drinks beer." In this case, there is no "the"

[meltinis]

Why is it "Ella" and not "Lei" in this case?

[urisbn]

So "lei beve" and "lui bevete"?

[TisMIC]

No, "lei beve" and "lui beve". Just see Kevin Clark's comment above.

[john148442]

Beer is both plural and singular in english! Got it wrong for writing birre instead of birra...

[Kris_1277]

So when do you use beve and when do you use bevo?

[Carola477441]

Bevo is for first person (io bevo) and beve is for he/she (lui/lei beve)

[CamsterTron]

YES THIS IS A BAD INFLUENCE ON MY LITTLE BABY JIMMY HE FOUND A BOTTLE OF BEER AND DRANK IT BECAUSE OF THIS!

[Kris_1277]

Damn it Jimmy.
