Don't worry, I was about to say that but you beat me by 8 months

[HavardF]

"Hold my beer, guys. It's only a beer."

[BevanJarvis]

We don't serve beer to bears (in bars in Billings).

[_Kierz_]

*bear not beer

[Driarr]

No biggie guys.. it's only one bear I can take it

[Dylan_Gomez16]

Is it all you can bear?

[Beverly_H]

Meanwhile in Russia.

[gypsy.cab]

Why "one bear" and not "a bear"?

[Erated8]

I Think Both Would Be Acceptable.

[pdusek]

After we took a tiger from the zoo, this is only a bear, l'animale non troppo pericoloso...

[Martin135869]

Don't forget to feed your pet serpente nello stivale.

[dave-ashby]

Could this also mean "It is only a bear"?

[Seth101973]

It marked me correct for that!

[Wichito390]

I wrote "un'orso", and it marked me wrong... Why!!??
Duolingo get update!!!

[DoppioMAB]

Looking at your current level, I gather this is an old question of yours. So then, for any new users, here is an answer:

You only need to use an apostrophe for the feminine words following una, or alla, della, dalla, and so on, and for masculine nouns where the initial letter A is involved.

un orso would only use the apostrophe if it were "una orsa"-- becoming un'orsa -- and orsa isn't a bear, orso is.

• una anatra becomes un'anatra
• un anno becomes un'anno
• al albergo becomes all'albergo
• nella acqua becomes nell'acqua

[_Kierz_]

Because orso is masculine and two vowels join together

IT IS NOT: una + orso = un'orso

IT IS: un + orso = un orso

[RowanM.1]

You were supposed to translate the sentence into English.

[doabarrelroll94]

It's one bear.->E' solo orse. (Literal translation)

Is there an "un" because in Italian there is always an indefinite article b4 an object?

[Erated8]

"Solo" Doesn't Mean "One", "Un" Means Either "One" Or "A(n)", Depending On Context.

[coupe_crazy]

It is just a single bear. Should also be considered a correct english translation.

[PamelaJohnson1]

That is what I put as well. This would be a correct translation to English.

[Erated8]

That Seems To Be Putting More Emphasis On The Fact It's Just One, Which I'm Guessing Italian Has Some Of Doing As Well.

[Hornstein]

The audio was really bad. So i would llike to know: does "ha solo un orso' also make sense?

[wiplala]

Sure, but then it means "He only has one bear" (which is better than two) haha

[LlamaNation01]

Rawr.

[biscuitamericain]

are there bears in the wild in Italy? I would have thought not

[JacquesFre5]

I am well aware there are no kangaroos in Austria, but I wonder about bears in Italia.

[gmj1892]

Could this be È soltanto un orso?

[unmowngrass]

What's wrong with "It's a bear on it's own" ?

[Sedona2007]

I think that would be "È un orso solo."

[iammyownqueen]

Can't solo also mean alone? Would "Io sono solo." work for "I am alone?"

[RedheadedRogue]

Oh, that's a relief.

[CharleenCo1]

This is my question
also. I have been dinged for "a" instead of "one."

[LorenzoLM]

I can't bear the bare bear

[meandmyshadow0]

I translate that as: It is only a bear. Is that not right.

[Erated8]

"Just"
