"Men and women"

Translation: Uomini e donne

[Viaggiatore]

Because "ed" is only used before vowels.

[Zos23]

But why then did duolingo state e and ed were used to personal preference?

[paulgg]

But why not uomini ed donne?

[ErinAldrich]

You only use ed before vowels, like wow we say "a" and "an".

[P-Fogg]

Why is "L'uomini e le donne" wrong?

[Tom419655]

It would be gli uomini.

What's the difference between e and e with the accent?

[JoeM.]

Hi, I don't know if your question's been answered already, but when you see e (without an accent), it means 'and.' In contrast, è (with an accent) is the third person conjugated form of essere ('to be') in the present tense, meaning 'he/she/it is.'

As of my typing this in January 2014, Duo allows you to get away with typing e in place of è. However, you should use the accent mark appropriately, as explained above. Hope this helps!

Why uomini e donne without the articles?
