i hear "una" not "un"

this might be the best sentence i've seen on duolingo as far as helping teach with context clues and words we already know.

bravo, duolingo, bravo.

sono italiana e questa frase non ha alcun senso..

Duolingo rocks but to be as good as it could be, in Italian they absolutely need to take a different approach to the production of audio on entire sentences as the combination of single and/or double syllables to construct entire sentences can make for a great deal of frustration in learning and skews it more often than it helps.

So, a nipote may be either nephew or grandchild?

Why is it not 'tuo fratello o tua sorella'? I thought that like in French or German the article has to agree with the gender of the noun?

Yep, I 'corrected 'my first answer ('un nipote') to 'una' on hearing the slow soundtrack. It CLEARLY says 'una'.

she says unaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa fix that

I just want to announce most of these recordings are horrible, but still... love duolingo.

that's una 'una' if ever i heard one

wud have been awkward if 'o' was replaced by 'e'

It says "una"! I checked on slow!

that's also the way to say "A grandson is the son of your brother or sister" in Italian, though I don't believe Duolingo would accept it.

Or, your wife's brother or sister.

How do you say nipple in italian?

Someone tell the Targaerians!

On tinycards they teach that "nipote" means "grandson"

This sentence always gives me trouble.

Once again she said una not un. It said write what you hear not what is correct!!!!!

"il" figlio? I thought you don't use definite articles with singular family members

The nipote as 'grandson' wasn't accepted :c Is it incorrect or you have to fix this?

as nipote is nephew or grandchild how can the answer be incorrect?

¿un nipote è un (grandson or nephew)? ...soy hispano hablante

I read "o" as "e" and thought we have a Jaime/Cersei situation on our hands.

I play my own game.... if I can write the translation from hearing it once fast I score 5 points... twice 4 points etc... until once slowly scores 1 point and getting it wrong no points. When the 'il' (as in 'il tuo fratello') is so lost in everyday conversation I sometimes feel like giving up... or not asking about a person 's relatives

That is what i typed.??

Why not change up brother and sister in this sentence to challenge us on the use of tua versus tuo?

So is the rule if you have either or -- you use the gender of the first world? Tuo fratello o sorely, versus Two fratellos o tua sorely...

Is there a different word for "son of the brother/sister of my wife/husband"? Or is this also "nipote"?

Nephew is not a choice. Does this only happen to me?

No article offered. That's the third time today that the correct answer isn't offered. What do you do in a case like that I just left it our so of course it was wrong.

Really? Again?

still not corrected, have reported it

You hear una yes, but from the rest of the sentence you can conclude it has to be un instead of una :-) So no excuses if u have this wrong ;)
