"How do they live?"

Translation: Come vivono?

[Normano]

Why is it wrong to say " Come loro vivono ? " ?

[olga.eflov]

Me too! Why in some sentences it's possible to use both il pronome e il verbo in forma di personale, and in others they count it as a mistake?!

[YellowDohnut17]

'Vivono' already implies 'They', so there's no need for the extra 'Loro'.

[manoelhc]

yep, there is no need, but it's not mandatory to remove it, right?

[CesarS3]

You should say come vivono loro? I think that it sounds better..sorry if my english is bad

[boopsesther]

Your English is perfectly fine

[Aaronhegarcit]

I wrote exactly the same? :/

[AdventuresAgency]

It sounds smoother if you ask me.

[Angel509]

Why not abitano?

[LorenzoLM]

Only is you are asking how they live (in that place they can not afford, or that isn't theirs, or that is too small)

abitare is more reside than survive

[ArthurH.Bossi]

Same mistake here

[wandering_soul]

So what exactly is the difference between abitano & vivono?

[cberg]

I think if you use loro it places a lot of emphasis on the "they" it seems to be mostly questions where they drop the pronoun

[BhrzNeshat]

How about "come loro vivono"?

[Hamid20195]

I think it is not wrong...although "loro" is not necessary since the verb "vivono" possesses the pronoun "loro" in itself.

[Maximus84135]

Why is so wrong to add loro? (It is running me crazy!)

[LorenzoLM]

In a question, come vivono loro? would be better

[Sheree275792]

I wrote "Come abitono" and it accepted

[TanyaMevine]

Me too. How do they live? could be asking about the condition in which they live. Couldnt it?

[TanyaMevine]

Come abitano?

[LaraMonter2]

If vivono is for they, vivete is for...?

[RoinujNosde]

Voi. (You "all")

[KKFusionKaran]

• Come vivono?

• Come loro vivono?

• Come vivono loro?

All three translate to "How do they live?"

I suppose it is great that one could express so much with so few words, so relax.

Keep it simple.

I thought I knew when to use ano or ono endings. What are the rules? Thanks.
