"I cut the apple."

Translation: Io taglio la mela.

[JennaHO]

Anyone else find it funny (but bad) that in the multiple choices they have "Taglio la raggaza?"

[holly.barl]

:) In my multiple choice options they had "la donna".

[AntonellaP654393]

In mine they had taglio uomini and talgio ragazzi

[Tristan967848]

Makes sense if they'll be circumcised

Yah I just saw that and was like, hello? Really?
I got another sentence like that, "Taglio la donna." And really? Why people?

[cacioepepe]

I assumed this was a past tense sentence (I cut the apple.) and wrote "ho tagliato la mela" and got it wrong!

[dnovinc]

That is correct as well so I hope you reported it. The reason why it wasn't accepted is probably because this sentence is from earlier lessons while the past tense is introduced latter on.

[comecchi]

I don't understand why my "taglio la mela" is incorrect. Duolingo almost always says that's it's also correct without the pronome, so why isn't working here?

[VictorM.Lopez1]

I put in the right answer and it say that is wrong. I already tried many times to put "Io taglio la mela" , but it says its wrong. Then I press "Taglio la mela", but it says again that's wrong too. I can't finish. Any body have the same problem as me?

[britleasure]

[smlamphier124]

Why is it La mela and not Le Mela?

[Seresam]

"la mela"="the apple", "le mele"="the apples"

[Robbadob]

I don't know why I find the way Italian forms plurals beautiful.

[ValencyaSGooden]

So you don't always need to put the subject before the verb, as long as it is conjugated, right??

[andre_andry]

Right if the conjucated word is unique (in this case "taglio" is only for the first person). For example there is the conjucation "se io tagliassi" and "se tu tagliassi" which are identical if you don't say who is doing the action, so it would be confusing.

[Ernest1984]

Can i say "Taglio la mie mela" ?

[Chel451498]

No you can't. You can say:

Taglio la mia mela - I cut my apple ...or...
Taglio le mie mele - I cut my apples

[KyrieDomineJesus]

I wrote "Io taglia la mela". It told me I had a typo. But as 'right' answer it gave me "tagliai" instead of "taglio". ...???

[PhilipArms8]

I put 'Taglio la mela' but it rejected it. Anyone know why? I thought the pronoun could be dropped unless for emphasis.
