"Io mangio."

Translation: I eat.

[AboaliHass]

So mangia for he & she and mangio for i .. Is that right?

[jess28423]

And "mangi" for "you eat"

[Federica147742]

Mangia is for He/She/It, Mangio is for "I"

[UczuciaTM]

Just like french, the endings change based on pronouns, basically.

[deactivated user]

Using French as an example here isn't the best choice. In Frenc in most cases Fench conjugation is far less diverse than in Italian or in Spanish (a better example). This is why personal pronouns are mandatory in French and not in Italian. Most European languages have conjugations with variations according to the person.

In English, it's scarce but you still have: I/you/we/they drink vs. he/she/it drinks
Two different endings according to the person used.

[siot15]

Yea

[sayrolucas]

Io mangio means eu manjo in portuguese? Like eu manjo dos paranauês?

[lucianaeller]

Você pode até manjar dos paranauês, mas infelizmente em italiano quer dizer "eu como" kkkkk

[sayrolucas]

Io não mangio dos paranauês....

[hscheffer]

É claro... Você realmente manja dos paranauês!! hauhauha

[nogaa]

and i'm eating is?..

[dnovinc]

"Io mangio" (Italian present tense) can be translated as both English present simple (I eat) and present continuous (I am eating).

There is another Italian tense (Gerundio) that is much closer to English present continuous: "I am eating. = Sto mangiando" , but that is something you will learn a bit later.

[MarinaMorton]

but what is I ATE?

[dnovinc]

That would be: "(Io) ho mangiato"

[karahawes]

How is the LO pronounced? Having trouble understanding the computer.

[notitalian123]

It is not Lo it is io pronounced - e o -

[notitalian123]

It means i

[notitalian123]

So io mangio la mela is i eat the apple

[JuliaNnerd]

I think you are mistaking the capital i as an L. :) It would be ee-o

[.Insertnamehere.]

The I looks like a lowercase L, but it is not.

[pcpmn]

Would just "mangio" mean the same thing?

[alciebell]

Yes

[Hannahyap3]

Whats the different between mangia mangio and mangi

[dbench]

If mangia for he and she, and mangio for I, what is mangi for?

[alciebell]

You (singular)

[haleypetittt]

So even if I am a girl it's still mangio?

[--Y.]

Yes

[Connie676419]

Are there infinitives in italian? If so, what is the infinitive for to eat?

[dsofiagonzalezg]

To eat = mangiare

[dsofiagonzalezg]

Io mangio, Tu mangi, Lui mangia, Lei mangia.. they, we and you (plural) mangia?

[Eight81]

I was just trying out Italian- but it's quite different from German, which is what I'm used to!

[yoMamaBeenFartin]

Mangio is also accepted as "i eat" so is the pronoun "io" absolutely necessary, and if so then when?

[CaptainJoh2]

Porque "bere" e bevo, bevi....? No bero, beri....?

[Nachiperez]

Cuándo se usa "mangio" y cuándo "mangi"?

[zw91]

Se usa "mangio" con "io" y "mangi" con "tu". io mangio = yo como, tu mangi = tú comes.

[deactivated user]

When do I use "mangia" , "mangi" and "mangio?"

[JuliaNnerd]

He/She (Lui/Lei) would be "mangia", You (Tu) would be "mangi", and Io (I) would be "mangio".

[SheilaMorr10]

Thank you

[luluAdel]

what is the difference between mangi-mangio-mangia ???

[JuliaNnerd]

Tu mangi (you eat), Io mangio (I eat), Lui/Lei mangia (He/She eats).

[Girishkorgaonkar]

Io mangio la mela or Io mangio una mela....which one is correct/appropriate comparing it to its English translation?

[Vale9102]

is more appropriate "io mangio la mela", but both are correct

[JuliaNnerd]

La is indefinite, meaning it is the equivalent of "the". Una or Un is definite, so it would be the equivalent of "a" or "an".

[Daniela274049]

What is "I ate"?

[JuliaNnerd]

Past is a much later lesson. They will teach you eventually. :)

[FallenAnge664795]

I cant hear any difference between "mangia" and "mangio"

[Josiah13045]

You have a point but there is a difference

[Jerard12]

Io MangIO would having the IO at the end of mangIO do me well for understanding that mangio must go with io?

[Andreilg3]

What is the difference between saying "Io mangio." and "Sono mangio."?

[deactivated user]

Italian conjugation for the verb ‘mangiare’ (to eat):

io mangio
tu mangi
lui/lei mangia
noi mangiamo
voi mangiate
loro mangiano

Since Italian conjugation is rich – every form has a different ending for each person – personal pronouns are not mandatory.
I eat / I am eating = (io) mangio
Personal pronouns can be used to put more emphasis on the subject.

Duolingo hanging on grading. Always happens at night
