"Cos'è l'oggetto nella ciotola?"

Translation: What is the object in the bowl?

[ItalianFrog]

L'oggetto nella ciotola è un topo che mangia il formaggio

[Martin135869]

Mi sembra che in questa situazione il topo e il soggetto e il formaggio e l'oggeto. =8-)

[JoeMoxie]

The English translation is super awkward, as we'd ask, "What's in the bowl?" Does the Italian sentence sound good to a native's ear, or is it also clunky?

[PeterJames]

'What object is in the bowl' Does this mean the same thing?

[ZuMako8_Momo]

That would be «Qual oggetto è nella ciotola?».

[LawrenceDa807648]

Absolutely, it is the same thing. Maybe not in Italian, but in English translation.

[peterdutton]

I agree. That should be an acceptable answer.

[Viaggiatore]

We do not.

[Ispirac]

Thanks for your answering.

[IgnisTenebris]

Ummm... It's my first culinary experiment! :) Unsuccessful, as it appears...

[Dim652567]

It's a snake which is cooked by the cook

Then stolen by the penguin to ransom the whale

[aaronbennack]

Whoops, that's crack. My bad.

[UQQJnB]

Scary

If we say 'what is the object in the bowl?' this is a question requiring as an answer e.g. the object in the bowl is an apple. It is then clear that what the object in the bowl is, is an apple, therefore you have told the questioner what the object is, in the bowl.

[IMatejka]

So, what is it? We're waiting!

[TeriMelof]

Your insect must have jumped off the plate and into my bowl.

[Roseanna223913]

This is translation needs a translation.
