"Lui mangia pollo anche se non mangia pesce."

Translation: He eats chicken even though he does not eat fish.

[thmarchi]

anche se = even though....ok, got it

[MegaErf]

He drives a car even though he doesn't go to the cinema, that would made more sense DuoLingo ;)

[HughSandison]

Even though = though. Even doesn't really add anything in English (maybe slight stress?)

[biscuitamericain]

sounds right to me. reported

[NRizel]

"He eat chicken eventhough he doesn't eat fish..." what's the correlation between eating those thing

[Zlatka1234]

Just a meaningless sentence

[CeCeSalvati]

I must be the only person who found a little reason to this sentence - maybe it meant to imply that even though he doesn't eat fish, he eats chicken, and therefore isn't a vegetarian.

[NidaSpaldi]

Duo didn't like me using doesn't instead of does not. The contracted version of does not should be acceptable.

[jumano82]

cinema, fish.. both doesn't make sense to me! Please explain

[CarissaS103]

What about the chicken of the sea

[atlasakin]

When you roll over on "anche", one of the options is "even though". So, can I also form this sentence without "se" ?

[leoalpha5293]

why se

[swipp]

A little off topic, but of potential interest for other learners...

I was looking for Italian songs to listen to/translate while I learn. I found this one the other day by Annalisa that features several "anche se" sentences ("Potrei Abituarmi"): https://youtu.be/vFWE-BFovOg

Here are the lyrics: http://www.metrolyrics.com/potrei-abituarmi-lyrics-annalisa.html

It is also catchy, if I do say so myself.

Thank you for this! I have become a real fan of Annalisa!

[BOI2016]

What an absolutely ridiculous example!!

[noranora370707]

I don't understand the sense

[Cj_Fresco]

This sentence was made with me in mind....Perché non mangio pesce, ma pollo; mi pensa che sia schifo.

[TomTorchia]

Even if is the same as even so

[KenPatters3]

What about chicken of the chick?

[carolmontana181]

I think " he " is implied as not eating fish
