"Il negozio è aperto la domenica?"

Translation: Is the shop open on Sundays?

[ryani182]

I might be extremely dense here, but this doesn't seem to me to be present perfect.

[cathandrius]

That's what i was thinking, maybe they're just throwing a curve ball

[lollym11]

I think it's to remind us that aperto can be used as an adjective

[jtflematti]

How would you ask "did the shop open on Sunday?" That's what I thought that answer was, can somebody please help me out with this, thank you.

[Quazar]

Why does "The shop is open this sunday" not work? Someone explain please.

[Thoughtdiva]

the definite article makes it sundays in general (different to English). La domenica = on sundays Domenica = this sunday (or another meaning if modified).

[diogopaludo]

Couldn't it be "Is the business open on sundays?"?

[Thoughtdiva]

negozio specifically means shop, not business.

[diogopaludo]

i didn't know it was that specific. thank you for your reply.

[patriciatannis]

i put "was the shop open on sunday" and got it wrong. can someone tell me how one would ask that question?
thanks!

[darkpeak]

È aperto looks to me like present perfect. Can anyone explain, please?

[LivingInPuglia]

I got this right as ... Is the shop open on Sundays?, more by luck than judgement. But this lesson is present perfect .... how is this sentence / question present perfect? A google search gave this :
The present perfect tense is used in the following situations:

<pre>an action which took place a short time ago. an action which took place some time ago and the results of the action can still be felt in the present an experience in your life an action which has finished but the time period (e.g. this year , this week, today) hasn't finished yet </pre>

How would you say, "did the store open on Sunday?"

duo lingo is nuts: i wrote Is the shop opened on Sundays? and it was not accepted even though it shows like correct answer

[jeffrey90009]

Your english seems broken.

[DonGargano]

why "shop" instead of "store" here? I believe this is the first time I have seen "shop" in all the lessons I have completed thus far. Is it the "io" at the end of negozio that infers the store is small, and thus a shop?

[DonnaWebb4]

Why is store not accepted?

[MeuamP]

Why is business incorrect?

[Quazar]

"Is the shop opened on sundays" why?

[duobits]

"Is the store opened on Sundays?" should also be correct? Am I wrong?

[Eluzie]

perhaps 'opened' indicates the action of opening, and 'open' might indicate the state of being open? i do not know for certain.
