      È pericoloso.

        Sounds like a recipe for disaster :-)

            Duo, this is a bit dangerous to put oil under fire.

              How about: "I have a bottle of oil under the grill"

                "Below the grill I have a bottle of oil" should also be accepted as a valid translation of this sentence.

                  Barbecue vs grill?

                  Yes - the previous mentions of "griglia" suggest this is a barbecue-type grill. In the UK, "grill" would nomally mean the grill internal to an oven/cooker ("griglia del forno"?), and you wouldn't want to put a bottle of oil under the grill!

                      Beneath the grill I have a bottle of oil should also be okay

                        why "d'"

                          Because "olio" begins with a vocal. "di olio" >> d'olio, "il olio" >> l'olio.

                          agree with morabito: terrible pronunciation of the first word! I sounds like 'susto' to me

                            Perhaps the automaton's voice does not produce the sentence as well as we would like, but say the sentence to yourself, it really has a nice rhythym (and it rhymes!)

                              Would this sentence also be correct if it was written thus: Ho una bottiglia d'olio sotto la griglia. Thanks. :)
