mangiate

[Connor_devonish]

Just encountered the phrase 'voi mangiate il pollo' - from what I've been taught shouldn't it be 'voi mangate il pollo'

[Viaggiatore]

There is no form "mangate."

[Connor_devonish]

Oh yea I got it wrong, I thought the infinitive ending was -iate but its only -ate so the we ending is -ate which makes mangiate :-). Gottit

[Connor_devonish]

I also just got told that another translation of 'tu mangi il pollo' is 'mangiate il pollo' please can someone explain the difference

[Viaggiatore]

Tu mangi is one person, voi mangiate is more than one.

Oh yea forgot that bit, thanks :-)
