"Lui prende il mio zucchero."

Translation: He takes my sugar.

[lucimorningstar]

NOT MY SUGAR

[gumamela_eater]

Unfortunately, he has a snake in one boot and a knife in the other.

[Souleia]

And the sugar has an ant and bee in it!

[LiKenun]

And a spider.

[Raphael345712]

Who is he even? He's not the man in the bathtub by any chance?

[frequeno]

Hahaha

[ghalestrilo]

I bet this was written by an old blues man.

[EspaTalia]

HE takes my sugar. Is this blues man gay?

[j_cic]

Could this also mean he "gets" my sugar?

[Mike_Riley]

From prior words we learned I assumed the same translation of "gets" and came here looking for confirmation. Be glad to see an answer to this too!

[Jesshumprey]

i also wrote "gets"

[Scostumatu]

I don't see why not

[jfchacon]

Haha I just wrote that and the owl marked it as wrong. Oh well.

[alexsander82]

Thats what i answered

[SandraGomez279]

I wrote grabs :/

[LorenzoLM]

Gets is ottienere

[angelalaro3]

Yes, I would say so.

[MaryVou]

I hate it when he does that

[josie.capuano]

Why is it not "Lui prende lo mio zucchero?" I used "il" because I could tell she wasn't saying "lo"... but isn't the correct article for zucchero "lo"?

[missymaelicia]

lo = il = the (singular, masculine)

il = before consonant

(l' = before vowel)

lo = before z, sc, sp, sch, ps, pn, x, gn : lo zucchero, lo psicologo,
lo specialiste....

Here as "mio" is before "zucchero", the possessive adjective stands before a consonant "m" so it gives : lo zucchero ► il mio zucchero.

[benyscott]

I was wondering about that case earlier, now I have an answer! Thank you!

[StacyeL]

Thanks for clarifying, missymaelicia

[edBVO0W6]

Hmmm, they haven't taught that. I wrote il because thats what she said but thought it must be a mistake

[tuukkaanttila]

Not when there's something in between.

[Afrobabee]

Hey oh!

[StacyeL]

That was my question, too.

[glumleaf]

How rude.

[SamaraAddams15]

First my pants, then my sugar? What next?

[wiggliggle]

Your heart...

[trizzy.stan]

Innuendo?

[Eli545423]

GIVE BACK MY SUGAR!!!!!

[maidarodri]

Prende: take and get is not the same?

[CJCatStack]

The only translation of "prende" I've seen so far has been "get" then it says it should be "takes". I really wish the mobile version had the lessons.

[loofoo]

Can "prende" also mean "grab" ?

[Hoffelhas]

'prende' in this sentence could also be translated to 'grabs', right?

[MightySerb]

Why not "prenda" instead of prende?

[Terhenetar]

Because this is how the verb 'prendere' is conjugated. It is really useful to remember the infinitive form of the verbs you learn. It tells you how the verb is conjugated and the infinitive itself is used quite a bit in Italian. There is a button 'conjugate' underneath the translation in Duolingo.
According to the ending of the infinitive (-are, -ere, -ire) the verb is conjugated differently. Look up mangiARE, prendERE, dormIRE (to sleep), capIRE and spot the differences. (it is not very easy to write them all here)

[obamatroller69]

think about it

[Jamie664975]

I feel like it means, "I like him!"

[wildflamer17]

BUT... BUT... I NEEDED THAT! D:

[BrennenCri]

That bastard

[chaikhosi]

This should be in the flirting bonus lesson

[banananino]

Only said by a sugar daddy

[OceanKek]

italian hand gesture

[Adwald]

Not the one with the ants in it!

[Gabriel678117]

Its funny because in romanian prendo ( prind ) means to catch something. "He catches my sugar"

[jess.jtl]

I believe you can translate the verb "prendere" with "to get" or "to take".

[DianaO.1]

NO!! SUGAR!! OH HOLD ON IT DONT MATTER CUZ I HAVE ANOTHER ROOM FILLED WITH SUGAR

[KatelinaLina]

Perfect lyrics for a blues song....

[scoobert.doo]

[CatLordSpaceship]

Could "prendere" be also "grab"?

[Cnith1]

Kinky...

[noam607516]

You'r funny guys!

[jubietan]

GIVE IT BACK

[Andy529907]

The bastard...
Why would he take my sugar?

[jado1234]
