One of the correct solutions accepted is "Non ci piacque il pollo." What the heck is "piacque"???
I'm struggling badly with piaciuto, piacque etc. Can't find clear explanations free of heavy language jargon anywhere.
I used the sentence "non abbiamo piacuto il pollo" and it was incorrect. Any ideas why the above translation is the correct answer?
Finding this section very difficult...
For "piacere" you must "invert" subject and object: you could literally translate "Non ci è piaciuto il pollo" with "The chicken wasn't enjoyable for us". In italian the subject of "piacere" is the thing one likes
I got a multiple choice question with correct answers "A noi non è piaciuto il pollo" and "Non ci è piaciuto il pollo". My questions are: Is it OK to omit the "ci" in the first sentence? Would it be wrong if I included it?
Yes. There are two forms for 'to us':
to us = a noi = ci
You can either use 'a noi' or 'ci', but not both together.
