I was in Rome in January once and the gelato places were jammed. So even Europeans eat gelato in winter!
So what is the Italian word for 'ice cream'. Doesn't 'gelato' apply to what Americans call 'sherbet' and also to 'ice cream'?
Yes. Italian ice cream is a little different from American ice cream, so in the US we refer to italian-style ice cream as "gelato" and American style ice cream as ice cream. But as far as I know "gelato" is just the Italian word for ice cream, so it would cover the american variety as well.

In italy the frozen dairy desert we call ice cream is "Gelato". Even the crappiest stuff you can find in the super market is labeled gelato

It is so hilarious...no eating ice cream in Winter .. eating cheese on Tuesdays...and the ant is in my boots :)) Love it!..
se estrapoli il significato delle parole tu puoi trarre dal testo un' infinità di parole non corrispondenti al significato normale inglese e trasformato
Be less picky on ponctuation please. Writting don't instead of do not is not a mistake...
When we speak about seasons in general sense, we don't use articles in front of them. The same rule applies to the names of the days and months. When we talk about a specific season or a day we use 'the' or even 'a/an' when there are descriptive adjectives in front of them. https://www.tspu.edu.ru/tspu/files/fia/files/articles_with_days_months_seasons.pdf
Durante il inverno non mangio gelato... why i have this wrong?? I forgot the article before gelato... the word gelato has to been in your lessons (until now)... i was guessing about it....
In Australia (because we have a large Italian population), ice cream is different to gelato. Ice cream is that creamy, milky, generic stuff you buy in massive tubs. Gelato (or commonly referred to as 'gelati') is the Italian styled gelato (the icy type you have in summer).

i think that "ice cream" will be better ( i am french) than gelato… never seen this therm before!
When I did it, there wasn’t the word ‘ice’ to select? I knew it was wrong but couldn’t insert ice
Winter is probably the best time to eat ice-cream. (Tho it sucks to be ME. I don't ice-cream in any season.)

La frase in italiano dovrebbe essere 'Durante l'inverno non mangio gelato,' senza l'articolo determinativo per indicare uno stato d'abitudine.

What is unique about bread? Mangio pane, but mangio il gelato. Why the article in ice cream is correct but not in bread? whereas bevo acqua or bevo l'acqua are both valid.
