    Ho is the first person singular = I have. Ha is the third person singular = He/She/It has.

    It's well-worth learning all the present tense conjugations of "Avere" because it is such a common verb, Ho, Hai, Ha, Abbiamo, Avete, Hanno by heart. That is: I have, you (singular) have, he/she/it has, we have, you (all) have, they have.

      Ho, Ho, Ho! translates much differently than Ha, Ha, Ha!

          Is it improper to say "Ho una piastra?"

            You probably wouldn't eat from a piastra but you could straighten your hair with it.

                        It depends on the gender. For example, the boy, will be translated like un ragazzo, a girl, una ragazza and so on and so forth..

                          In conversation it would be improper to use the pronoun. "ho un piatto" would be correct. vero?
