Donna = woman Donne= women Notice that Donna and woman have an "a" Notice that Donne and women have an "e"
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.
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!!
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
In a real talk, you can say it without noi or (voi, loro), but in this lession you should try to use them.

"We are 'Woman' ." is a highly literary use in English and probably does not translate directly. We are women (donne) makes much more sense in normal contexts
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.

One woman (donna) for singular.
Two women (donne) for plural.
The plural is regular in Italian, but irregular in English,
(where regular means it follows the standard pattern.)

Do you mean Io una ragazza ? (Not the capital L, a capital i.)
That is I a girl and the question is about women (plural).
I have learned so much in such a short time. I think I would love to take a class to become fluent.
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

No. "Sei" = "You are". "Siamo" = "We are". See under the verb ESSERE. http://www.italian-verbs.com/italian-verbs/conjugation.php?verbo=essere
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.
is sono an irregular verb(sono,siamo) and there is a specific way of forming verbs or what?Im confused :/

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 !
- 3132
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
You capitalise the first English word so its too easy to guess the first word
It says to translate "Noi siamo donne" i type in "We are Woman" it says "wrong correct answer: We are woman". 3rd time in a row its wasting my hearts
- 3132
Fourth time lucky then. Try typing "women", and not "woman".
"Donne = women". "Donna = woman".
this was my response...but was not ruled correct..ood, i wander why?? Correct solution: Noi siamo donne. Meaning: We are women.
I wrote exactly we are woman as an answer and told me that is incorrect ...

My answer was correct from the capital T to the full stop. But it was given as wrong. Don’t understand.
Do italians use pronouns for anything but emphasis? I understand why for lei & lui, even io, bit not for tu or noi...
no because I put exactly this and it's saying that it's wrong, why is it doing that
"We are girls" = "Siamo ragazze" and "We are women" = "Noi siamo donne"
Why is "We are" = "Siamo" for girls and "Noi siamo" for women?
