    It’s a dipshit way of teaching you verbs. Here’s a cheat sheet: all regular verbs in Italian end in –are, –ere, or –ire. They tend to follow a pretty standard pattern with some deviations but that’s beyond this comment so we go beginner mode. Also I am using present tense, again, beginner mode.

    Mangiare is an -*Are *verb, so the conjugation is thus:

    io (I) mangio
    tu (you) mangi
    lui /lei (he/she/it) mangia
    noi (we plural) mangiamo
    voi (you plural) mangiate
    loro (it / they plural, also third person respectful) mangiano

    see how the -are part of mangiare changes with each subject? Not so much for Tu, but mangii is a stupid-looking word so we don’t use it :P

    Also I s2g it deliberately dips you on spelling when it shouldn’t just to fuck up a perfect score. I’ve seen it fuck me on a fat fingered mishap one instance, then the next say “I’ll allow it but you made a typo” once I’ve lost the precious
