Donna = woman Donne= women Notice that Donna and woman have an "a" Notice that Donne and women have an "e"
Sorry, in the previous sentence " you do not come", how can I tell from english that "you" was formal or informal, I answered informal, lost a heart.
Why it cannot be without noi? because in siamo it does say " (we) re " so why it cannot used just like that? Last translation for me was " siamo uomini " we are men. Why it cannot be same for women?
it can, just in this example it is with noi, but it can be without noi, just like in spanish the pronoun is not necessary but it is correct.
For me it said donne means help. So i put help on and it said it meant women. It didn't make any sense.
Queen means "regina" in italian, the plural form is "regine", which means queens
Using ear buds the Automated voice is too low. Have to turn volume up to hear voice, then the sound (ta ding) to continue is too loud. Hurts my ears. Please adjust sound for voices on Basic 2. Thank you!!
In a real talk, you can say it without noi or (voi, loro), but in this lession you should try to use them.
Yes it could be. If you want to highlight the fact that "we" are women (and not, for example, "them") you should use "noi".
Of course it has! singular: la donna and plural: le donne - for example: Noi siamo le donne (We are the women)
The plural is simply donna-a and replace the -a with an e=donne. So the plural is donne.
I have learned so much in such a short time. I think I would love to take a class to become fluent.

No. "Sei" = "You are". "Siamo" = "We are". See under the verb ESSERE. http://www.italian-verbs.com/italian-verbs/conjugation.php?verbo=essere
is sono an irregular verb(sono,siamo) and there is a specific way of forming verbs or what?Im confused :/
why cant they just correct it instead of just saying its wrong that's not fair

"Siamo" and "Sono" are conjugations of the verb "Essere", (To be). "Siamo" means "We are", and "Sono" means "I am" or "They are".
io sono,
tu sei,
egli è,
noi siamo,
voi siete,
essi sono.
If it says "siamo" it means "noi siamo" weather it says it or not. You can say "siamo donne" and its still correct
I've past be this question a few times now in my strengthening, and it never seems to pick up my "noi".
Not sure why though. It seems to pick the rest of the questions with the same word fine, just not this one.

Sono and Siamo are conjugations of the verb Essere.
Sono means "I am" or "they are". Siamo means "We are".

Wow! In romanian language it is : "Noi suntem femei." So many similarities in only a few lessons !

Yes. It is always amazing and interesting to discover, that there are so many similarities between many languages. For example: between the Romanian "femei" and the English "female", "feminine", "feminism" etc.
I was putting in my answer and it was correct but it was marking it as wrong and i am so confused
it's hard to tell from the audio-- is the "e" at the end of words like donne pronounced -ay or more like -eh ?
I wrote we're instead of we are and apperently that's incorrect, please fix that.

Because "We are ladies" would be "Noi siamo signore".
"Donne" = "Women", and "Signore" = "Ladies".
Ladies is not translated donne, it's signore or signorine. They are specifically women

Presente io sono, tu sei, lui-lei-Lei è, noi siamo, voi siete, loro-Loro sono.
Io sono = I am, Loro sono = They are, Noi siamo = We are. http://italian.about.com/library/verb/blverb_essere.htm

Because there is no such word as "womens".
Woman = singular. Women = plural.
One writes "women's" (note the apostrophe "s") when something belongs to the women. ie. The women's clothes = the clothes of the women.

If your typo results in creating an existing word, then it will be classified as a mistake and not a typo. When you wrote "woman" instead of "women", you wrote an existing word, which was not the correct word, and was therefore not accepted.

"Sei" means "you are". "Sono" means "I am" and "they are". Please see my previous comment and the attached link to Italian verbs.
I was pronouncing "donne" correctly (as the recording pronounced) and it didn't work?
NOT TRUE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
the new word "noi" was previously used on other some questions. It isn't new. Please check the order of each question for solve.
From what I've noticed is if you repeat a level the lesson isn't the same. Therefor there may have been a word introduced the first time and not introduced in the same sequence the second time around.
I understand what it is trying to say, but when would you say this? If you are a woman, anyone could recognize that.

Perhaps someone would say it at a NOW conference (National Organization of Women) with pride!
Do not forget that these are just the basics, so the sentences that you'd be translating will be relatively (sp ? ) simple : )
