Hey, like that movie, "Uomo, Dov'e il mio Automibile?"

E poi?

Did anyone else hear a skip or glitch in the audio?

[Thoughtdiva]

Yes, but it's pretty much the way the audio usually is on Duolingo!

[jen112358]

'Non trova mai' would be 'not find never' or 'not never find'. That is a double negative. Why is 'not find' and 'never find' required in one sentence to indicate 'never find'? Could 'Lui trova mai' or Lui non trova' work as well? Trying to figure out when I am speaking how I would recreate this type of sentence and why this structure is required. Thanks for the help!

Again a write the correct answer and red flagged....

I submitted "He cannot ever find his car" but it was rejected. Couldn't this be a possible translation?

[Thoughtdiva]

Similar meaning, but not close enough to the original phrase. Your phrase would be "Lui non può trovare mai la propria/ sua automobile"

[theresacouch]

Ok, thanks for clarification!

[th3flash23]

when do i know to put "Mai"? i have seen it in different places now,

[Danmoller]

Seems to follow this order: "non + verb + mai".

[mao700950]

My answer "He never finds his car" was marked wrong. Here the Italian "automobile" cannot be translated as "car"?

[Elon_the_Hittite]

Report it. 'Car' is invariably used in the UK and 'automobile' is always shortened to 'auto' anyway.

I feel sorry for him
