Dancing Queen!

[InkoNO]

U know what i mean

[Perseph1955]

How could I dance with another?

[bearded-bod]

[Petina21]

Yeah we danced through the night

[Juancho491520]

And we held each other tight

[Mats596112]

And the way she looked was way beyond compaaare

[Jacques_JD]

"...you pervert!"

(Sorry, just had to)

[scotthannigan]

He is only seventeen wrong? I don't get it. This is not a good way to teach by tricking people!

[Seresam]

It should be accepted

[Ariaflame]

It should have been accepted. Must have been missed out. Hope you reported it. He is just seventeen was accepted.

[rockovshefer]

what is the difference between "solo" (as in: Ho solo sessant'anni) and "soltanto"?

[frabrevi]

No difference.

[NRizel]

Anyone else nail Winger.; -D

[MrPeteO]

I came for this one, and realized I had forgotten the Beatles and Abba, since they all fit :-P

[Mat010]

I put "it is only seventeen years old" and was marked wrong. Why?

[Ariaflame]

Because they didn't think that objects might have their age described? They were thinking about people when they constructed their answer database.

[ppedroni]

He is and She is!!!!

[mithilaaaaaaa]

I'm only seventeen, I don't know anything

[americanu197]

god i hate these age questions

[crystal95u]

To tell someone your age in Italian, "I am seven years old," you'd first conjugate the verb 'avere', say the number, and then end with 'anno/i'. "Io ho sette anni."

Another example: "She is 12." = "Lei ha dodici anni."

[RobertWeddle]

Yes, but its best to be sure upfront.

Wait, what?

[ardhitatib]

"A young woman beats the WWE champion in a single hit. And she's only seventeen"

[BillofKempsey]

soltanto vs appena? What is the difference?

[Moomingirl]

Soltanto means 'only'. Appena means 'just''.
As far as I understand, appena would be used more in the meaning when someone has 'just turned' seventeen. Someone please correct me if I am wrong.

[KarenColle]

I am quite sure you are right. In French, the idea of "hardly, barely, just (now)" is translated by the adverbial phrase " à peine" = apena (Italian). HTH♡

[zerric.ree]

She only is seventeen should be acceptable.

[Antonio243141]

What is wrong with "She is only seventeen years old" ??

[chloe.moran]

How come this uses "soltanto" as opposed to "solo"? Is is related to singular and plural or something else?

[frabrevi]

He is barely seventeen years old. Why not?

[Jacques_JD]

Technically speaking, barely is translated as appena :)

[AddyMoreno]

Why is I am only seventeen years old wrong???

[Ariaflame]

Because that would be Ho not Ha

[Elsa704631]

Why a she not a he?

[AlmightyScience]

Both work

[pineapplerind]

true

[__NIKO__]

Oh she's only seventeen! By Kings of Leon.

[Chrisschito]

How do i kniw its a she?

[__NIKO__]

Context most likely.

[PauletteSm]

Here they use soltanto, but in the same construction it was markrd wrong in another place and Duo insisted I use solo.

[peggy582366]

Re: placement of only in translation for which i was marked wrong. Yes, the meanings ate a bit different but saying " she only is seventeen" should not be wrong

[Roseanna223913]

why not he is only seventeen years

[sglynn]

why can't this be either he or she as in previous example in level 2

[SanDigital]

Am I the only one who heard the Stray Cats instead of The Beatles?

[Vito596002]

This is a Winger song "She's only sev en teen... Sev en teen!"
