"Why are they dangerous?"

Translation: Perché sono pericolosi?

[Dmitry239754]

the hints are wrong!

[eddiannie]

Hints! Why bother? I had the correct answer 'pericolosi', doubted myself and changed it to align with the hints. This happens endlessly. 21/08/2020

Why is ' perchè loro stanno pericolosi ' marked wrong ?

[jdreamer63]

I thought it would be "perché loro sono pericoloso" since loro is "they". Didn't know you leave off the "they/loro" part. Seems like either way should've been accepted.

Ho scritto: perchè loro sono pericolosi? Ed ora scrivo: "Cosa vi è saltato in mente di darmi errore?".

[TJTitmus]

Perché stanno pericolosi not accepted ... anyone any ideas as to why ?

[simonesvictory]

Stanno would be used as 'they are being', which is not correct in this English sentence.
Sono is used for the act of being in a certain point in time, while stanno is a continuous way of being.

[TJTitmus]

Thanks for your reply and sorry for my late response. The english sentence unfortunately doesn't give us any indication as to whether the danger is a permanent or temporary state so I'm still not clear as to why stanno cannot be accepted. https://forum.duolingo.com/comment/267472

Can I say "perché cosa sono pericolsi?" in the meaning (leterally not actually) of "for what (which) thing they are dangerous" ?

[simonesvictory]

No, you can't. You'd be changing the meaning of the sentence.

[DavidLoStudente]

why is it perché not perchè? Not sure how the acute and grave accents work in italiano...?

[RobertBruc14]

Does anyone know when we use an accent pointed toward the word and when away?

[Mike403752]

The correct answer is not a word on the list "pericolse"

FIX DA HINTS UP!!!!!

[diesem.jenem]

Why are "Perchè sono pericolosi?" and "Perché sono pericolosi?" both correct?

So I googled both, the Acute accent and the Grave accent. Yet, I am still at a loss. Seems that different languages use these accents, but also each language still differently.

Can someone tell me why both work in Italian interchangably? Or when aren't they interchangable?
