Same issue here, i used 'ho' for have but it said it was 'ha' but surely that means has? Talk about confusing :(
Why do you sometime have to put "la" infront of "tua" and sometimes it's not necessary?
What's the difference between la tua and la vostra? (apparently either answer is correct)
(I AM ITALIAN) FOR US YOU=TU BUT ALSO YOU=VOI,
TUA IS SINGOLAR
VOSTRA/VOSTRO IS PLURAL
"Vostra" is the feminine second-person plural possessive — the possessive of "y'all," if you speak a certain kind of American English. OR, it is the feminine polite second-person singular possessive.

I wanna know too. I get confused how sometimes in English, a noun won't have its article, but in Italian it needs it & the other way round.
The dropdown gives "bevanda alcolica" as a choice for "drink" but the answer disallowed it. Why?
"Drink" in English also means alcoholic drink (Can I buy you a drink?) so you use drink to mean both a beverage (which is what bevanda means) and an alcoholic beverage (bevanda alcolica). You could say bevanda alcolica but it's adding a detail not specified; it's like saying, your dress is long, and then translating that to, your pink dress is long. The drink could be alcoholic but it doesn't have to be. That's why it's better to say just "beverage" or bevanda because nothing else is specified.

Yes thanks , but when i have this test duolingo suggest Freddo(by clicking on ice) :) again thanks dear
Hi I'm spanish + french and I wrote the sentence like "Tua bevanda non ha ghiaccio" I was surprised when I read it should have been "La tua bevanda non ha ghiaccio"
In Spanish and in French the sentence would have been respectively "Tu bebida no tiene hielo" and "Ta boisson n'a pas de glaçons".
I know those are of course not the same languages but why do we have to put La tua bevanda ?
In Spanish a similar sentence would be "La bebida tuya" but no "La tuya bebida" (this sound very weird and isn't correct)
Therefore I hope you can understand why "La tua bevanda" sound weird to me and why "Tua bevanda" or "La bavanda tua" sound like a better answer?
Can someone explain why am I wrong ? :)
You always have to put an article before a possessive. Like, "La tua", "Le tue", "Il tuo", "I tuoi", "Il nostro", etc. However, there are some exceptions for that rule. For example, if you want to say "The glass of water is mine.", you say "Il bicchiere d'acqua è mio.". You exclude the article when saying something is yours, but if you want to say "My glass of water.", you say "Il mio bicchiere d'acqua.". Also, you exclude the article when talking about singular family members. If you want to say "My sister is short.", you say "Mia sorella è bassa.", without the article. However, if you want to say "My sisters are short.", you say "Le mie sorelle sono basse.".
I typed in "La tua bevanda non hai ghiaccio" and it marked me wrong. Can someone explain me why?

"Hai" is "you (2nd person singular) have". "Ha" is "he/she/it has"- in this case it's the drink, do it, hence the word is "ha". When in English you wouldn't say "Your drink don't has (...)" that is a way to formulate negation in Italian. I hope this makes sense & helps you.
I selected the 'La vostra' one and the 'La tua' one as I thought both meant the same except for plural, but I got it wrong and it said it was only the 'La tua' one?

Le tue is plural femmine, beve is he/she/it drinks and non ho means I don't have (first person singular). Now that you have a complete idea why it was wrong whatever you typed.

I think you are purely thinking in English grammar where '' does'' is followed by have "ho". Take it that in Italian ho (have) is only and always used to refer to first person singular possession...
Just so I have it right. I'm going to write in English but insert the Italian word: I use "ho" for when I possess something "I 'ho' a pen" I use "ha" when someone else states I have something "your pen does not 'ha' ink in it"
Can you please clarify on this rule? Is it always ha for the third person and ho for the first & second person? Grazie.
Io ho = I have Tu hai = You have Egli/Ella He/She ha = has Esso/Essa It Noi abbiamo = We have Voi avete = You have Essi/Esse/ Loro hanno = They have
This is the indicative present of the verb "avere"=to have
The dropdown had "non debba" but when used it pings as incorrect and "non ha" as correct.
Languiges are personalities! We can translate parts of them but not all their parts
They used tua instead of tuo because they had the word la infront of it. My guess is, that because the feminine word 'bevanda' was in there they used the feminine starting words as 'la tua'
Your could be masculin and feminin as well. How to know if its tuo or tua?
Bevanda is a feminine word, therefore you use tua. It does not involve the person you're talking about.
I am so confused... why is your drink Il tuo bevanda and yet your sandwich I tuoi panini? help
Why isn't "La tua bevanda non ha_un_ghiaccio" acceptable? I don't think it was ever explained when should we drop articles.
Why is it "ha" and not "ho"? Very confused and tried reading through the comments but now totally confused
Nope. Ho goes with I, ha goes with he/she/it and hai goes with you (singular). Bevanda is an it.
How about: "Non e ghiaccio nella tua bevanda"
Would that be essentially correct & would say pretty much the same?
I am getting them wrong because some have la tua and some are just tua (and all the variations of that) I thought the article was optional? Is there a rule, or is the app being very particular?

The word 'drink' is available in Italian too. Try to order "una bevanda" in a bar. The barman doesn't understand you.
How do i know when to use tuo, tua, Tué etc. Can someone please explain?
