Why Duo does help with the word 'mescoli' and then says it is the wrong WORD, you have to write 'unite' ? Strange behavior.
Aug of 2021 "mescoli " doesnt work and a form of that word are all 3 of the hints

STILL rejected by DL on 23 June 2021: "Mescoli lo zucchero e l'uovo". This rejection follows introducing "mescolare" in the same exercise!
I agree that this is strange behavior, but EVEN WORSE, and assuming that everyone reporting rejection of "mescoli" on this thread also reported it to DL, it seems to take an ETERNITY for DL to either:
(1) recognize ""Mescoli lo zucchero e l'uovo" as an acceptable translation, or
(2) provide a tip that explains why it is being rejected in this situation.
It seems obvious that a high report count on a particular exercise ought to function as a clue to review the evaluation of the exercise and permanently correct false rejections within some finite time period. Doing so might encourage subscriptions to the paid versions of DL.
Present tense: Unisco, unisci, unisce, uniamo, unite, uniscono
Past participles: unito, unita, uniti, unite.
I have the same question. If it is a different tense, why? It seems the same structure as the present tense we've used to this point...
Because in Italian to give instructions it's common to use the imperative form

I don't think i was introduced to any word for mix when i did this lesson, but now I'm strengthening the task, it's the first question!
Sounds fair. You're strengthening your knowledge of the topic by picking up words you missed out on first time around :)
It didnt teach me anything about mescolare.. never saw it before this exercise
A little annoyed that the lesson tells me that "mix" is "mescolate" or "mescoli" yet marks me wrong and tells me it is "unite". I am not arguing that unite is correct, in fact I think it works better. But Duo teaches me something then marks me wrong for it.
Maybe you were marked wrong on a different detail. That happens to me sometimes.
Once again Duo shows me a number of possible translations then tells me the 'correct' word was that which wasn't even shown. Well done.
Unite is the conjugation for both the present indicative and the imperative, though a better interpretation here might be present indicative because the subject is clearly stated, You mix...
Uniti works better as an adjective or a participle: Gli Stati Uniti, vi abbiamo uniti...
Please why is this not a correct choice? "Tu mescoli lo zucchero ed l'uovo."
"ed" is used to mean "and,'" typically, before a vowel. That's not the case before "l'uovo."
OMG it's the little things that get me all the time. Many thanks for pointing that out. Ciao
if it's not imperative, Mischia, then Si mischia should also be accepted in lieu of mischi.
Because "mescolate" is second person plural and "tu" is the pronoun that stands for second person singular
Cause that's like saying "loro mangiamo" or "lei invito". It would either be "Tu mescoli" or "voi mescolate".
I've never come across 'unite' for I presume 'mix' before. Once again it's not even offered as an option in the 'dot prompts'. I've been doing the course for 15 months and can still barely order a coffee and then only if it's an espresso! Sort this out duo.

Unire - to join, add to, combine; I too don't see why "Mescoli lo zucchero con l'uovo" wouldn’t be acceptable.
Now I'm confused. When you ask for help, Duo offers 'mescoli', but then won't accept it, wants 'unite'. So i look to see if anyone else finds this odd, and they do, but looking further down it appears that it used to be the other way round. Please can the owl give us a consistent answer?

Why give mescoli in hint and then mark it wrong..Duo seems to do this sort of thing often!!

Same question: Why do you help with ONLY mescolare, not even mention unire!? Giving false info??

Sept 2021 still suggesting mescolare is the verb but then won’t accept it. Requires unire instead.
Hints don't even mention "unite", only versions of "mescolare", but then the only word you can choose is "unite". So I got it correct (as no other options available), but that was not helpful. I seem to have a lot of new words thrown at me today whilst doing a refresher lesson - and that seems very odd...
Trust me. Nobody at duo even looks at this! I've seen posts where a problem was reported upnto 4 years ago and still hasn't been changed.
Feb 2022 changes lo zucchero e í uovo one time and next i zucchero e lo uovo the next. Any idea why?
