Very strange to say "I am THE girl" rather than "I am A girl"... Weird...
It's a matter of context. If I'm attempting to identify a person and ask "Who is the [context] girl?" Then "I am the girl." is the appropriate response.
Thank you for saying this! It gets on my nerve when people think it's weird because it's really not THAT weird
"I'm THE girl" = "Io sono LA ragazza". "I'm A girl" = "Io sono UNA ragazza"
I have always said it like i am the girl, but since my aunt moved to italy i get that.
Why it can't be I am a girl...it is really very strange to hear I am the girl...omg
Hmmm i know but it just may be like "i am (THAT ONE ) the girl so yeahhhhhhhh
it says "il sono la ragazza"? not "lo"? Unless I'm not hearing it right?
I thought the same things but its actually "io" not "lo" The capital i just looks like a lowercase L.
Well, that clears that up. I was also thinking that it was an L. Never occurred to me that it was a capital i. Ok, I'm good now.
I don't think the speaker is italian. She has a strange pronunciation...for example in "ragazzo/ragazza".... (I'm italian)
I think you mean "you're Italian". One could say "How is your Italian coming?" though.
Anyone can help me in learning Italian language, I am an Asian and don't know any romance language.
Seems like there's a bit of confusion about whether the sentence begins with i or L; I had a moment of difficulty myself, hopefully the font on the site could be changed to avoid ambiguity.

There is no confusion nor ambiguity: Every sentence begins with a capital letter and capital L is perfectly distinguishable from capital I. There is no need for a better/different font, since the sentence would never begin with a lowercase l (L).
They are not distinguishable on my browser upper case l and i are identical.
Though, not everyone has great eyesight or a decent screen to view it on. I can think of many reasons why people might not be able to distinguish between the I and l in a sans serif font.
Yes, but does Io begin every sentence? And, as another poster points out, upper case I and lower case L are identical. Of course, now that I know, it is moot. Some of these languages do get confusing at times.
is there a place there they have a spelling of how you pronounce it?
...and again... Io sono la ragazza = I am the girl, but Duolingo says it's wrong. Actually I happen to be a girl
Im typing the right answer which matches their answer and it still keeps saying im erong. What gives duolingo
A lot of people talking about how DL isn't accepting their input of Io sono la ragazza. This may be totally off and completely stupid however some things needs saying just to be sure (much like "have you checked that it's plugged in?" Its annoyed to be asked and might feel patronising but for a couple of people it might be the help they're looking for)
Perhaps, due to the sans serif font used on DL sometimes capital 'I' (eye) and lowercase 'l' (el) get mixed up.
At 'Io sono': ('ee-o' sono...) •Make sure to write 'Io' with a capital 'I' - sounds like 'eye' - Jupiter has a moon with the same name - lowercase version looks like: i
•Not 'lo' with a lowercase l - sounds like 'el' - name of the Spanish guy who covered himself in gold and went for a swim, ''El' Dorado' - uppercase version has the tail: L
At 'la ragazza': ('lah' ragazza...) •Make sure to write 'la' with a lowercase 'el' •Not 'Ia' with a capital 'eye'
That's the only thing I can think of that might help. If I recall correctly, this is one of the very early lessons, so maybe it's just a case of mistaken letter identity due of the font.
Good luck everyone.
Why in the world did it mark me off for capitalizing the start of the sentence?!?!?!
I type the correct words, Lo sono la raga zzz, the same as what it says is correct but keep getting told I am wrong! This means I can’t progress to the next level. What can I do?
I died on this sentence and it said " you have 67 lingots, you may want to get a heart refill. Hahahaha.
Ragazza is girl. Think of this. Female has an A and an A is at the end if ragazza and Boy has a O and Obis at the end of ragazzo
Lauae28 commented "I am the girl" is not really something I would say, I would replace "the" for "a"." No, it would depend on the context as to which form you would use. For example, if you were in class and the teacher asked "Who is the girl who left some cake on my desk?" and it was you, you would answer "I am THE girl" not "I am A girl".
When do you know when to put a "Lo" before "sonno"? for example, would it be correct to say "Lo sonno la ragazza" or "Sonno la ragazza"?
Neither is correct. First of of all it is "Io" as in upper case "i", not "Lo". Secondly it is "sono" not "sonno".
In Italian, putting Io (or I in English) is optional. Both "Sono la ragazza" and "Io sono la ragazza" would be correct.
I am Italian never learnt how to speak it...so this is why i'm taking the course..so far i'm doing good learning how to speak in.Italian...i love it...does someone know how to tell me how to say " I Love You" in Italian.
U said it right 4 times yet it couldn't hear me properly and so gave me a fail for this question. Wtf!!!
Im just pronouncing it wrong. I like to know why. I think i pronounce it fine

Good luck.
i literally wrote the same thing and they still said it was wrong....i don't get it..?
Don't forget that if it's got "la" instead of "una" or something else that it is: the girl.
I am the girl would mean as if you were asking someone a question and you would say I AM THE GIRL
What is the difference between Lo and lo asside from it being capitalized?

Why is it i have to try this 50times using the same spelling and it keeps telling me its wrong when i wrote it down and retyped it. God knows how many times
I wrote what it said five time but it keeps aying that im wrong i dont get it
Make sure you're using an uppercase 'i' (sounds like eye) for Io, and not a lowercase 'L' (like 'el' in el dorado).
Should sound like 'ee-o sono' rather than 'Low sono'.
The font DL uses makes it hard to see the difference between I and l.
Good luck
☹️☹️☹️ I wish it wasnt so sensitive to mistakes, I typed sono as sona mistake
I put exactly the same answer but mine started with a cap and they counted it wrong
I have typed it in correctly multiple times and it is still telling me im wrong! Lo sono la ragazza
I am getting it correct, even changing to lower case. Can not see my answer to compare to your wrong message screen
There must be a problem on system...i have answered with the correct response and it comes up as wrong even though the correct answer is exactly as i wrote it... therefore it keeps repeating the same question and i cannot continue??

Getting the translation correct On lo sono la ragazza and still marks me in correct no work around.
Type what you hear: "Io sono la ragazza." Then is a wrong answer because was expected to write:"I am the girl." ??
I have entered the correct answer repeatedly and it still recognizing it as incorrect
i go to re type the answer correctly, and IT KEEPS MARKING ME WRONG!!! ive tried about seven different times and it keeps saying its wrong. HELP?!
When you type "I am the girl" it shows that the answer is wrong... Despite that you get the same as a correct answer!!!
I kept writing lo sono la ragazza for I am the girl . But it keeps saying it's wrong. Then I tried everything else and it was wrong. What am I missing here?
When I try to pick the correct word it wont let me click it, I just keeps repeating the sentence. For example: I first clicked lo sono, but it doesn't allow that it only allows me to click la ragazza, which makes me get the question wrong.
Bit confused. . .does lo start with an upper case i or an L? I was using lo, but I am now thinking it is an upper case i. That would explain the pronunciation, at least.
The programme cannot identify capital i against l. Therefore a complete waste of time & time to delete app.
There is a bug in the code. Continuously marking my answers incorrect when they match perfectly. I have screen printed.
What is wrong? I'm tying exactly the same and it says it's wrong. lo sono la ragazza.
I had a complication with the keyboard and that's why i wrote it wrong :(
Why is my answer wrong, it's right!! And now I can't finish up the leason!!
Maybe this phrase is used when two willing and consenting adult men are trying to figure out whos top and whos bottom? When one proudly exclaims "Io sono la ragazza!"
I typed exactly what was said and it matched yet they keep saying incorrect
I got it right but it keep saying that im wrong, please make the right adjustments.
I am writing the correct answer but it is saying its incorrect????
La mentions only females or what, why the statement should be "I am THE girl" why shouldn't be "I am A girl".
I typed lo sono la ragazza for i am the girl and it got marked as incorrect. I don't know why.
I pronounced the sencence correctly though it didn't consider that I said 'la' :/
I don't know why, But why does the man tell that "Io sono la ragazza". Its like he is Gay. (I don't hate people who are gay, etc.)
