The default English translation leaves me with the impression that somebody's about to have cats for dinner, and the speaker is giving instructions to a wait[er/ress] on how to prepare the dining table.

"The cat goes above the table" is how I learned this. I was taught that "sopra" and "sottto" are opposites. One is above and one is below. Just like "su" and "giu" are up and down.

I put "The cat gets on the table" because "The cat goes on the table" sounds wrong in American English. It almost sounds like you're using a euphemism to say that the cat pees on the table: "goes".

This was my last heart... :(((

I'm curious, when is it best to use "sul" vs "sopra"?

Why not "the cat walks on top of the table"?

I put 'the cat goes on top of the table' and was marked correct. Bad cat! =^.^=

Can you say 'il gatto è sopra il tavolo?'

What's wrong with gets on top

I also wrote goes onto the table. should be correct.

The cat goes onto the table - should be allowed
