"Do you like fruit?"
Translation:Ti piace la frutta?

The Duo answer above is not using the formal "you." Isn't that the exercise? I am confused. ManuCassanello, it is not "La piace la frutta" because the odd verb, "piacere," as it is used makes the "you" in the sentence the indirect object. The direct object would be "La." The indirect object is "Le." The more literal translation would be "Is the fruit pleasing to you."

"La" is a direct pronoun, while here we need an indirect pronoun "Le"
• Le piace la frutta? La comprerò (do you like fruit? I'll buy it).

In another question DL asks you to write the english translation of 'A Lei piace la frutta' which of course is, 'Do you like fruit', and which is an acceptible answer to this question as well
