"L'anatra"

Translation: The duck

[Chrisdz1]

Its hard to understand the pronunciation

[amos.maggi]

The audio is a little more ambiguous than ideal.

[PoetryOtter]

I agree, it sounds like there's a g in there, awful.

[LanguageSurfer96]

Just written "the suck" because of s next to d in the keyboard

[MaggieRCasey]

Which syllable is stressed?

[deactivated user]

First syllable is stressed: /ˈanatra/

[SarahHallAuthor]

I am the stressed syllable..

[tebo33unm]

Since contractions are mandatory, I wish "she" would stop saying " la anatra."

[Sollihein]

I don't hear as if she's saying "la anatra". Rather, the "l'a" is prolonged a bit since it's where the stress is.

[maggers85]

I translated l'anatra to "duck" and it was wrong. I know it does say "the duck" but elsewhere you seem to be able to drop the definite article when translating to English, e.g. "il leone beve l'acqua" -> "the lion drinks water", or "il pinguino mangia il pesce" -> "the penguin eats fish". How come you aren't allowed to drop the definite article here?

[diogogomez]

Why do people insist in complaining because they got it wrong for translating differently from the original? If the original sentence has an article, use it in the translation. If it does not have one, just don't put one in the sentence. It's as simple as that.

[DaniWhovian]

[Native italian] I'm not an expert of birds but the "anatra" is that duck with green wings, while the "papera" is....well it's what daisie duck is, got it? XD i can only say that the papera is white :P try looking it up on wiki!

How do I differentiate a male duck from a female duck in italian?

[RedLeatherBottle]

How do you in English? That's how.

[Linda497180]

All I'm hearing is la.

[Linda497180]

It sounded like lyna.

[BrunoBlase]

The first syllable should be stressed.

[BusraaDeniz]

My auto keyboard corrected it to the f"ck I appreciate the help keyboard :]

[MeganOBrie15]

Why does it not have an accent if the first syllable is accented?
