"Sono entrambi nella stanza."

Translation: They are both in the room.

Why isn't "Both are in the room" an acceptable answer?

[WarsawWill]

As a native speaker (BrE) it's not something I'd say, - "They are both in the room" or "Both of them are in the room"

[Malvezz1]

Now it's accepted. 2018 Dec

[hschaffer]

Or "They both are in the room" which was rejected

[WarsawWill]

For me (BrE), "They both do something" but "They are both somewhere", not "They both are somewhere"

"If both refers to the subject of a clause, we can use it in the normal mid position for adverbs, between the subject and main verb ... or after be as a main verb:

They were both very nice, kind and beautiful (after be as a main verb)
Not: They both were very nice …"

"I am both in the room." Time to sleep

Why is "entrambe" not acceptable? Couldn't it be both?

[Duolessio]

It should be, that would imply two femenine subjects.

[vrait]

Sono gets me everytime, I always think it means "I am", and I forget about "They are". Haha

[edwardnelson]

Who else thought of Cluedo?

[JeffHuman]

When do you use entrambe instead of entrambi?

[Duolessio]

For femenine nouns.

-dove sono le ragazze?
-sono entrambe nella stanza.

For masculine nouns (e. g. Ragazzi) you use entrambi.

E cosa fanno ?????

[zhenidrag]

Good question!

[Nonna602151]

Why isn't entrambe accepted? Do they have to be guys/man & woman?

[YuriMykolayevych]

Since it can be about "both women" you can report it.

[Alison846851]

Had someone got a ouija board out?

[zhenidrag]

Doing what????

[SimonWerman]

What is the difference, if any, between "Sono entrambi nella stanza" and "Entrambi sono nella stanza"?

[Andreas521061]

Earlier, the sentence was translated as "they are both at home", but now refused.
