"L'ingrediente nella scatola è quello giusto."

Translation: The ingredient in the box is the right one.

[cloclo15]

Why does quello giusto translate as the right one? This is the first time I had seen the word quello and it said that it translates as that?

[Viaggiatore]

Quello is also a pronoun that means "the one." This may help: http://www.italianlanguageguide.com/grammar/demonstrative-pronoun.asp

I find it interesting that we have to go to outside sources to understand what's happening on this site. No one else has a problem with this?

[speaktorob]

Not really. Everything on Duolingo is free!

[929.qcd/bgFd7Mhy]

Not if you do Duolingo plus which you need to pay for if you serious about learning

[RaymondWil20]

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[PattQuattr]

Free?? Not really when we wait abt 30 seconds for each ad...over and over!!

[Jae633849]

It actually isn't an outside source--you're still on Duolingo. Think of the forum discussions as an important part of the learning process and I think you'll feel better about the whole thing.

[shrin990106]

I agree Jae the forum discussions is very helpfull

[RaymondWil20]

I have, still do and I'm sure that we'll STILL be using an outside source untill we die!

[cloclo15]

Thank you - this now makes sense!

[maynard42]

Interesting that the link shows quelli instead of quei.

Scroll down to the fourth comment to see the full explanation.

[HaroldWonham]

I agree with you entirely. We've got a pronoun and an adjective, and in English we don't modify pronouns. We are never taught anything in DL: I find it must infuriating!

[TheLotanos]

How is it "quello"? Doesn't it suppose to be "quel"?

[Racile]

Yes why quello instead of quel? Giusto is not started with vowel + consonant

[friswing]

Examples: quel cane, quei cani (together with a noun), Quelli = when pointing at the dogs, without using the noun. Or Quello pointing at one dog, But quello can also stand together with a noun if it starts with a s + consonant (quello schermo)

[Racile]

Thank you so much :)

[bjojoe]

In this sentence "quello" is a pronoun and means "that one". It's only as an adjective you can use quel (only in masculine), maybe to distinguish quello as a pronoun(?).

[gerry11111]

Would "il giusto" be just as correct as "quello giusto"? I feel if I translated this that would be my inclination.

[Donna643600]

Why not 'the ingredient in the box is correct'?

[bilboburgler]

i really don't like box's to mean "box is" it is very lazy English and will confuse anyone learning "the lid of the box is the box's lid"

[jajoanmm]

That right one

[Moira53234]

Quello night mean the one but this was not covered so why is it being used in this context?

[malcolmissimo]

Scatola with food in it is usually a can. Duo rejects this.

[Sharon.Montoya]

I have the exact same answer as the sentence and it was marked wrong. Why?

[maria629953]

Perche why?????

[PattQuattr]

I would never have figured this box with out missing it at leasy once.
