"The cake has a sweet taste."

Translation: La torta ha un gusto dolce.

[CreyB]

generally in Italian, adjectives appear after the noun they modify.

[SchelvisPresley]

Reminds me of French!

[pasqualese14]

Generally but this depends on the meaning of the sentence. As in English adjectives can have an attributive or predicative function and in this sentence the adjective has been used with a predicative function

[s1mps0ns]

why not "la torta ha un dolce gusto"??? "un dolce gusto" and "un gusto dolce" are the same!

[Duolessio]

It sounds very unnatural, or poetic. Those adjective-noun inversions are used in poetry.

[Simisini]

Non è nè innaturale nè poetico, in italiano. Che un cibo abbia un "dolce gusto" si usa tranquillamente anche nel comune parlare.

[Lcroghan]

why must taste come before sweet?

[deactivated user]

Because it is common in the romance languages. Putting an adjective before a noun is mostly used to emphasize the quality of the noun.

[KaBa07]

Sorry but just a sentence ago the fruit tasted sweet and it was dolce gusto and everyone was writing the opposite of your opinion.

[Chris847150]

Why is it ... un gusto dolce ... and not... una gusto dolce? Which is the masculine, the 'gusto' or the 'dolce', while the 'La' is reference to the cake (feminine).

[WesleyRoch8]

I'am Brazilian, and all adjectives in latin languages really appear after. It is not correctly says dolce gusto.

[Gjthomas1990]

Then you would say that the phrase "La dolce vita" is grammatically incorrect?

[Jessi784299]

That's a good question! The user Duolessio above said that the inversion is poetic, maybe this film title is worded more poetically than I ever realized! :D

[pasqualese14]

It is not a 'grande verità'...

[AbigailCov]

If the adjective came before the noun, then "sweet" would come before "taste". I think the noun comes before the adjective.

[pitzz]

sapore = gusto, no???

[allforit]

I hate this why did the English language have to switch everything up and ruin it for me

[Gabriel130812]

My answer:La torta ha un gusto dolce?!?!?!?!?!

[AlexDovDubman]

In Hebrew the adjectives are after, too

[JacksonDave]

What? So we can have "La dolce vita" but we can't have "un dolce gusto"? This can't be right, surely!

[deactivated user]

Grammar, please!

[passionfruit12]

would "sapore dolce" also work?

[CHIARA918789]

Duolingo si può dire in entrambi i modi ma ci sei p ci faiii ?dai sono italianaaaaa

[SerraKandilci]

Torta = cake.
Biscotto = cookie.

[allforit]

Okay?

[deactivated user]

Okay.

[MatthiasR91]

How is this related to animals?^^

[Viviane770501]

Scusi ma non è falso, si dice anche cosi
Pareil pour un cane, je précise que un est un article français et en italien, c'est uno abrégé don ino cane, ne doit pas être compté pour faux.

[LouVasta]

But it does read sweet taste, dolce gusto

[RossMcLean2]

I put the corrext answer and it said i got.it wrong.

[AdrianR.Ca]

I still think "dolce gusto" should be valid with a minor correction, like when you make a typo.
