"Ele come a refeição."

Translation: He eats the meal.

This was a "Listen and Type" question, but there was no sound, either at regular speed or slower.

It seems to have been corrected. Thanks for reporting it! =)

You're right, there's no audio for it even now, when I try to play it here. :s Better report it (if you didn't already, if not then the next time you encounter it)

[Har29vey]

Thanks for the confirmation, cloudhorizon. I have reported it.

[just_gabe]

it sounds a lot like "heh-feh-soh", awful voice!

[MattBoto]

Heh-feh-saoh is correct, gabe. Rs at the beginning of words take on an H sound.

[just_gabe]

Really? similar to the french R? now it all makes sense!

Why is 'He is eating the meal" wrong?

[vivisaurus]

I think it is because there is a closer translation for that: Ele está comendo a refeição. =]

[Mkid1]

Wouldn't "He eats a meal" also be a satisfactory translation?

[vivisaurus]

In that case, the sentence would have to be Ele come uma refeição. =]

[Nonzo]

Why 'a' and not 'o'? Refeicao is masculine isn't it because it ends in an 'o'?

[Paulenrique]

Words ended in "ção" can be either masculine or feminine. "Refeição" is a feminine noun.

[Nonzo]

Thanks Paulenrique. You are a great help to us learners!

Can this also be he eats the snack?
