Okay kidos, first lesson:
Mary eats apples. María come manzanas. María (Mary) = subject. Come (eats) = verb / 3rd person singular, present tense. Infinitive = comer * Manzanas (apples) = direct object. Singular: manzana (apple). Plural: manzanas (apples). * Infinitives always end in -ar, -er, -re, -ir. If you wanna make it into a passive: The direct object becomes the subject of the sentences, so MANZANAS (apples) will now be the subject of this new sentence. The verb stays the same and only changes in case the subject goes from singular to plural (or plural to singular). MARÍA (singular) was the subject of the first sentence, our subject now is MANZANAS (plural); for the passive we need the verb TO BE + PAST PARTICIPLE form of whatever verb we want to use (COMER/eat). Las manzanas son comidas por María. Las = The (article). Manzanas = Apples (subject, noun). Son comidas = are eaten (son = 3rd person plural of the verb SER*, to be; comidas = past participle of COMER, eat). Por = By (preposition). María = Mary (object of the passive). ... easy, right? xD everything is relative and contradictory ~

That's a useful lesson.... I wouldn't mind learning Spanish, actually.
Don't you need an article in front of manzanas? & I still don't know how to pronounce the damn words properly.  ~ Wind Song ~ ~ Windlied ~ ~ Chant du vent ~

You could use it though: María come las manzanas << this only makes sense if you have previously mentioned what type of apples she's eating. Eg: Hay unas manzanas rojas encima de la mesa, María come las manzanas (There're some red apples on the table, Mary eats those/the apples). But it would be better to say: Hay unas manzanas rojas encima de la mesa, María las come << it's understood it's the apples she eats, there's no need to say the word 'apples' again since las works as a pronoun (manzanas = feminine, plural; las = feminine, plural). As for the pronunciation... that's hard to explain. Come (eats) doesn't sound like "come" in English, it's pronounced like come'eh xD Manzanas = man (pronounced the British way) + zah + n'us. everything is relative and contradictory ~

I don't speak Italian so I have no idea... but "le" sounds like a masculine article and I'd say 'mele' is a feminine word
