All right, but, "Io mangio pizza" still sounds right.
Is it wrong to say "Il cavallo non mangia erba"? I can't say "un'erba" or "dell'erba" in this case and "l'erba" would definitely mean a very specific kind of grass. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||||||||

To me using the article before a person noun sounds right too, as Tristano pointed out about northern Italy, but that doesn't make it so. Erba still has a general meaning, but the sentence "could be" correct because it's a description, from the same link you provided: Viene invece omesso nei seguenti casi: [...] nelle descrizioni e nelle numerazioni However, I would be more sure if you wrote something like "Il cavallo non mangia erba e arbusti" Edited by drygramul on 18 November 2013 at 6:27pm 1 person has voted this message useful | |||||||||

Couldn't "pizza" then be considered as a "general meaning" as well? Also: "I mie genitori vogliono che io studi musica, storia, arte e filosofia" No articles in here. And it's not really a description either. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||||||||

È quanto ho appena scritto.
Suvvia, un po' di attenzione, me lo hai pure citato ed è precisamente l'esempio che ho fatto (erba e arbusti): Viene invece omesso nei seguenti casi: [...] nelle descrizioni e nelle numerazioni 1 person has voted this message useful | |||||||||

Allora non capisco la tua precedente ostinazione nel negare che "pizza" non richiedesse l'articolo in quel caso :) 1 person has voted this message useful | |||||||||

Se il significato è generale l'articolo è obbligatorio. Credo che tu ti sia perso qui:
<i>Erba still has a general meaning, but the sentence "could be" correct because it's a description, from the same link you provided: </i> >> Puoi togliere l'articolo non perché non abbia un significato generale, ma perhé in questo caso la puoi considerare come parte di una descrizione ;) We're making it look harder than it is: if in doubt, put the article, that's in most cases the rule, not the other way. 1 person has voted this message useful |
