"Credete che la palla sia entrata?"

Translation: Do you think that the ball went in?

[silen03]

That's a very common Italian sentence! It's about football (soccer). You say that when it isn't sure if a goal is valid. ;)

[william887083]

Are you sure about that? ;)

[silen03]

Quite sure :)

[shp427767]

you may well hear "sia entrata" in Italian (haya entrado in Spanish), but you'd never here "has entered" (i.e. the goal) in English. It goes in or it doesn't. A player makes or doesn't make a goal.

In England a player scores a goal.

So "palla" means "pain in the ass"?

[castaner]

Why the downvotes? That's what Duo's translation says...

[NicoRosso]

Yeah I don't know why people are down voting you either haha. It's used emphatically as "che palla!" literally what balls!

[Duolessio]

That would be "che palle!". Usually there's two of them you know :P

"Palla" just means ball.

[ekaterina.27]

Palle.Presuming,there are two:))

[AlfredMond1]

"Do you believe that the ball went in?" should also be accepted! After all, credere has both meanings in italian.

This sentence really puzzled me because I heard "la pala" as in shovel.

[roman2095]

Here is a sentence with both words in it showing the difference in pronunciation.

Grazie per il link. Nonostante le due parole sono molto simile ed e facile da scambiarle.

Instant replay is a blight on the game of [whatever you're watching].

[GraemeJeal]

The hints are generally confusing; in this case, especially so. Going along each word in turn brings up the following, "(you)think both … and you ball both … and entered". An alternative for "ball" is "pain in the arse". Precisely!

[WquDT]

Do you believe that the pain in the arse has entered?

[MichaelASm314026]

why "credete" for "think"?

[crollyanne]

Suggest English is more likely to be 'ball was in". Ok, a goal may have been scored, but we have no idea what game is being played here. Either the ball was in or it wasn't

[Stephen91234]

I was marked as incorrect for putting believe
Once more DL is wrong !
DL's decisions are as good as VAR
Credere means either believe or think so ,surely, either should be acceptable.
I have reported it but expect nothing to be done .
