What's the difference between "sa suonare il flauto" and "sa suonare un flauto"?

Guybrush88 Guybrush88 July 22, 2015 July 22, 2015 at 8:54:34 AM UTC flag Report link Permalink

I intend them to have the same meaning

So, which one is better?

personally i'd use both without any distinction, in these contextless cases

Selena777 Selena777 July 22, 2015 July 22, 2015 at 4:03:39 PM UTC flag Report link Permalink

Might it depend on context?

i changed it. it appears that "il" is more used

Selena777 Selena777 July 22, 2015 July 22, 2015 at 4:13:30 PM UTC flag Report link Permalink

I have no idea. I've seen only "il", if you might use also "un", so it's an appropriate version.

after a bit more of research, "un" is used when saying like when translating "how to play an instrument"
