"The butterfly enters through the open window."

Translation: La farfalla entra per la finestra aperta.

[fificat1]

what about 'dalla'?

[Dexterslab]

I made that mistake too. I did because it was the translation for "the water is coming through the roof". Probably "da" means "from above" and "per" means "through".

tomerjar: I believe that "nella", or any contraction meaning the english "in the", actually refers to a noun being physically inside another noun. The butterfly in this case is not physically inside the window itself as an object, but merely passing through it. I may be wrong about this, however, I feel very positive that this is the italian meaning.

OUMEN: The preposition "verso" means "to" or "toward". In this sentence the butterfly would not enter toward the window, but enter through the window. At least this is my understanding.

Does entrare per actually translate to enters through?

[tomerjar]

Why not nella?

[OUMEN]

What about verso

[Anne_Carol]

why not alla finestra

[DeborahMin]

Dalla finestra is cortect

[OlgaM98]

Why isn't " il finistrino aperto" correct?

[poliloum]

Why not tramite la finestra?? It shouldnt show as a tip if its wrong.
