"A gata anda sobre a minha saia."

Translation: The cat walks over my skirt.

[pelzhaus]

The recording of this is very difficult to understand

[reddle]

Agreed.. very garbled.

[Languagelover559]

"The cat walks on top of my skirt" Should be accepted considering the same sentence in English is accepted as such.

[dalemorse1]

I thought that sobre meant about.

[dimwit720]

It can mean both on and about, and the same applies in English. A cat walks on (top of) my desk. The lecture was on the economy.

[Kalahari126205]

Clever

[deactivated user]

It depends on the context.

[andyflog]

sobre a mia saia means ON my skirt, not OVER

[dimwit720]

Walking "over" something is usually virtually identical in meaning to walking "on" something.

[GregoryFie10]

That may be true, but "walking on top of my skirt" is not allowed.

[daniel87359]

Agree, but minha saia.

[KharyGordo]

Why is the cat walks on my skirt wrong?

[daniel87359]

sobre minha saia = on (top of) my skirt

[donaJenni]

Why cant it accept "a gata anda sobre minha saia"? Why does it have to be "a minha saia" to be correct?

[Paulenrique]

Your suggestion is also right.

[Kwetla]

How come this is suddenly 'a gata' rather than 'o gato'?

[deactivated user]

Evidently this cat is a girl :-)

[NeilHeywoo1]

That's a nonsense distinction. I was going to write 'over my skirt' but knowing the clunky English DL often prefers, went for 'on top of'. Both should be accepted as correct.

[BallsyBall]

Sobre. I thought it meant "about".

[dimwit720]

It can mean both on/over and about, and the same applies in English. "A cat walks on (top of) (= over) my desk." "The lecture was on (about) the pandemic." The same word has the same two senses in Spanish as well.
