"Where do you keep the soap?"

Translation: Dove tieni il sapone?

[Rompip]

Anyone able to tell me why 'dove tenete il sapone' is marked as wrong when a correct answer of 'dove mettete il sapone' is accepted. I must be missing something simple.

[Rado_Gachkov]

it`s a mistake, had the same issue which I believe should be fixed!

I had "dove metti il sapone", which was marked wrong. Why?

[Marninger]

That means "where do you put the soap"
. . instead of "where do you keep the soap".

[Viaggiatore]

That's more like Where do you put the soap.

[allangottlieb]

I see grazie

[AngelaBrown18]

I used sapone and it marked it wrong and had saponette in it's place. Seems strange.

[Thurid]

Its il sapone and la saponetta. Maybe you put la sapone. Then the article is the problem

[jap0962]

I expected it to be "lo sapone", but it says the correct answer is "il sapone". Is this just an outlier or did I misunderstand the rule about il and lo?

[KS-IL]

thank you so much for this-gave you some lingots

[Efrat84]

Why os it "il sapone" and not "lo sapone"?

[.Linguo.]

I tried "Dove tu tieni il sapone". Duo corrected to "Tu dove tieni il sapone". Is it only correct to put the pronoun BEFORE 'where'?

[Marninger]

As "tieni" = you keep there is no need for an extra "tu", - unless you want to stress and then the pronomen normally is placed first, or last, in the sentens.

[Hoolista]

Why "saponette", not " sapone"?

[Thurid]

Sapone is masculine, saponetta is feminin. If you have la as article it cant be sapone

[fredrik.sk]

This could be a hint for fighting B.O.

what is the difference with tieni e mantieni?

[dewluca]

So why are only metete and tieni correct? Shouldn't metti also be correct? Why would you uses metete if you is plural and tieni if you is singular? (I've commented before on how Duolingo isn't consistent in what it means by these two verbs . . . and just when I think I've got it, they mix and match them again.)

[MariadelCa703168]

Difference between "tieni" and "hai" please!

[Jean-Pierr52169]

Tieni = You keep (singular); Hai = You have (singular)
