"Mio figlio gioca sotto la pioggia."

Translation: My son plays in the rain.

[christian]

Could you also say "Mio figlio gioca in pioggia"?

You would need the article (nella pioggia) , but it would be correct

Mio figlio gioca nella pioggia?

Yes I think that works

'underneath' should be accepted.

Pioggia supposedly means rain or shower. So why is "My son plays in the shower" incorrect?

[Germanlehrerlsu]

FritzNeal: In English 'shower' has two meanings: an ourdoor rain shower -- pioggia -- and an indoor bathroom shower -- doccia. So your English sentence is open to misinterpretation. The way it's written I'd take it to mean he's playing under the indoor bathroom shower. I suspect that's why your answer was marked wrong.

[Chiara707843]

Pioggia only means shower as in the weather phenomenon

Why not "My child plays in the rain" ?

[Shaz52]

I wrote a literal translation transforming 'sotto' to 'out in the rain' and this was marked wrong
