Ciao Bill,

yes you can say "Sรฌ, mi piace sopratutto la pizza".

I have a couple of corrections for you.

I tuoi genitori piace il cibo italiano? -> Ai tuoi genitori piace il cibo italiano?

Tua sorella piace il cibo italiano? -> A tua sorella piace il cibo italiano?

Remember that with the verb "piacere", you need to put "a" (or al, ai, alla...) before the person who likes something. If you use personal pronouns (lui, lei, noi...), these can combine with A, forming indirect object pronouns.

So you can say either:

A me piace OR Mi piace (a me = mi)

A te piace OR Ti piace (a te = ti)

A noi piace OR Ci piace (a noi = ci)

and so on

But if you don't use personal pronouns, you can't leave out "a".

A Luca piace il tennis.

Ai miei cugini piace la pizza.

I hope this makes sense!

Ciao Jenna,

"pizza" is feminine, so it should be "deliziosa." Other than that, perfect sentence!

Ciao Grace,

Thank you for posting!

You can use both "le lasagne" or "la lasagna."

Native speakers use them interchangeably, so you can use the one you remember better.

Keep up the good work!

Ciao! Mi piace molto il cibo italiano, soprattutto la (?) alla checca. Ma ho una domanda: in the daily dose app, it says "le lasagne" and here it is "la lasagna." Which do you use more often? Thanks for the interesting lessons!

Hi Nora,

tu and Lei (you and polite you)are subject pronouns so they can used as subjects in the sentenses. Ti is an indirect pronoun and can be used in sentences li: Ti regalo un fiore. I give you (or to you) a flower.

Don't worry too much about ti now. You'll get to a lesson about indirect pronouns soon.
