"Leite é uma bebida."

Translation: Milk is a drink.

[floaton47]

The t in leite is pronounced hard in this sentence, whereas in other situations it sounds like a "ch". Is this for a pronunciation reason or just a mistake?

Obrigado y bom noite, amigos!

[Paulenrique]

When you have "ti" (or "te" at the end of a word) it is like "ch".

[MattGallego]

i think it is pronounced differently because of "e" after it. Sounded like a short cut pronunciation. im not so sure. :)

[sophie_arias_]

I think "é" is "is" and the "e" without accent is "and"... right?

[yusufmusa093]

Correct

[alejo-ricaurte]

in normal leite sounds as late

[loofoo]

It depends on where you are in Brasil. Vowel sounds vary by region.

[Paulenrique]

Yes. The sound is like "late" in English

[SierraDavi551195]

so is "drink milk" bebida leite..?

[Paulenrique]

As imperative tense, it is "beba leite".

[XChimpmanistic]

Milk is a beverage.

[Jacob230068]

This is confusing the way it is written. There doesn't seem to be any context presented as to when one can drop words and when they can't

[Mtbmcm]

It’s really difficult understanding how to pronounce e and é since everyone is saying that duolingo is pronouncing it incorrectly. But they can only write e and é and I cannot hear the difference. Were just gonna listen to the doctors and scientists behind duo lingo.

Milk is the drink?
