"He eats the food."

Translation: Lui mangia il cibo.

[meike.lang]

When du you use la and when il?

[vjosullivan]

La: feminine singular (La donne). Il: Masculine singular (Il gelato).

[__T0mATo__]

how is gelato masculine??? How do i know when to use La and Il when doing sentences.

[tfigueira]

Why "Lui mangia cibo" was not accepted while in the previous statement "Lei mangia cibo" the article <il> was not used?

[luiz.calheiros]

You use the article to say it is a current action. Do not for a common action. ;p

One was she eats food while the other was he eats the food.

[silks3]

I wrote it correctly!

[Lowikrist]

Isn't it right in english he eats food instead of he eats the food?

[vulpes.smallfox]

Why is it lui mangia and not lui mangi? When would i use mangi?

[vjosullivan]

“Lui mangia” : “He eats”

“Tu mangi” : “You eat”

[Tim81120]

There was no il to select

[Oberon128767]

Why is this mangia not mange?

[sumayya1999]

Italian is a very funny language

[FadlyMarshall]

Why mangia? Not mangio?

[__T0mATo__]

Mangia is for she/he/they
Mangio is for I

"I eat food" = "io mangio cibo"
"he eats food" = "lui mangia cibo"

[MiChiamoCessi]

Grazie!

[__T0mATo__]

Prego!

Perche no " il mangiare " per food?

[KHCTHTH]

Why "lui mangia il pasto" is not correct?
