Lemykh & Irene:
Non capisco cosa vogliate dire.
Ho scritto il dialogo pensando all'utilità delle parole vicino/lontano. ;D

tarotshmily,
it's lontano with the T :)
the ending changes according to the gender of the noun we refer to.
as a rule of thumb:
o is male (il lago è lontano)
a is female (la casa è lontana)
sometimes lontano is used as an adverb (it doesn't follow a noun) and in that case it doesn't change.
Mario abita lontano. Mario lives far away.
Giovanna abita lontano. Giovanna lives faraway

Allora, take the feminine thing; 'Prendi la.'
Altro, take the masculine thing; Prendi ?' lo?
Thanks!

@cwparla
That's correct:
la borsa: Prendila!
il libro: Prendilo!
le chiavi: Prendile!
etc.

Hi, I am Japanese.
Marco, you are wrong!
Japanese word can stretch and meaning does not change!!
By the way, I enjoy your lessons very much.
I like it.
Marco and Catharine are both great.
Grazie.
