Translation: An elephant does not cook.

My whole life is a lie.

[Mgtcostello]

This is like being in a class where there's an awful lot of talking and now laughing. It's slower but prob better than learning on your own

[Nido1994]

Ahahahahahahaha LOL!

[Nido1994]

Ahahahahahahaha LOL!

[amuzulo]

I really hope I don't need this sentence in Italy.

[FedxViking]

That'd make a mess otherwise

[eqeqieopq]

Bizarre sentence.

[Mir_Masroor]

I wish I could really see some Insects in butter or some horses eating chocolate or some Butterfly humans if I ever go to Italy!

[athena_midnight]

The insects in butter is easy, just leave it out and uncovered on a warm day. My boyfriend has horses living next to him that eat his grass clippings so I guess they'd eat a little piece of chocolate. Really, your only longshot is the butterfly humans. Maybe the ballet?

[chatee]

You have not seen my uncle!

[AngelPhillips]

I really enjoy these odd sentences. I get that it's just for us to understand the words grammatically.

[Sionel]

If they did, they'd never forget the recipe.

[AernJardos]

Drat, I was trying to make this, "you do not cook an elephant."

[JJKling]

I did the same thing - especially since I forgot what "cucina" means, and the translation they gave showed it as being conjugated in the 2nd person "you cook".

[FehBianchi]

Walter White does.

[lilyroseoar]

The elephant needs to take a lesson from the monkey and read a cook book

[Maciejowaty]

I'm so sorry for an elaphant/ Sono spiacente per un elefante (?)

[Timiren]

This should be on tshirt.

[CarakD]

Why is this "One elephant does not cook" and not "The elephant does not cook"?

[Rae.F]

Because "un elefante non cucina" means "an elephant does not cook". To say "the elephant does not cook" you would need "l'elefante non cucina".

[Nido1994]

Ahahahaha xD

[PHScanes]

Why not? What is the problem with elephants?

[Rae.F]

They don't have opposable thumbs.

[ashley.han8]

Really? I was certain they did.

[DavidMiche6]

Well when I first heard this sentece a thought that - An elephant isn't a kitchen..

[Rae.F]

That would be "Un elefante non è una cucina." The "non" ("not") always comes right before the verb.

[natalieeu]

Wow. This whole time.... I thought they did..

[Perda_]

You don't say ? :O
