"Sentiamo l'uccello."

Translation: We hear the bird.

[MartinOlsv]

The bird is the word.

[Isabella51599]

What is that supposed to mean?

[Walzer_]

It's really funny to hear a girl say "Sentiamo l'uccello", there's a double entendre in italian...

[MelissaCho3]

Yeah it's unfortunate these things are not considered in duolingo... There is a similar situation in the French course regarding "female cats"

Am I missing lessons somewhere? Most if these 'present' lessons are throwing tons of verbs at me that I've never seen before. And asking me to type the translation. How should I know when I've never seen the verb in any form before??

[Kristia06]

Sentiamo/hear.
Ascoltiamo/listen.
Sometimes in italian, we use sentiamo as feel.
Sorry for my english but I am italian! I hope that you all have understand my explanation

[Brad.Windisch]

Could this also mean "Let's listen to the bird." ?

[AlanNorman]

Is "we smell the bird" really wrong?

[Vanfunfun]

it would be ok only if the bird consented.

[dnovinc]

I think "sentire" should be used like this: "Sentiamo l'odore dell'uccello" for your translation to be correct.

[ksoo]

Would the direct translation of that sentence be "We feel the smell of the bird?"

[dnovinc]

Yes, it would.

[AlanNorman]

Thank you, that makes sense..

[nullusaum]

L'uccello è la parola.

[PasserbyPassinbi]

People seem awfully confused by "sentire" but to me it seems easier to think of it as "to sense"

[dmh66]

as I know and read every where sentiamo means feel.are you sure that hear is the other meaning of sentiamo?

[BaconChomper]

I think it more generically means sense. See/hear/smell/feel are more specific.

[deactivated user]

That's a weird sentence

[StefaniDeFazio]

I wrote, We feel the bird just to see if it would go through and it did, strange sentence for sure

[dnlovesbook7]

-insert Bird Box joke here-
