"Lui ha un libro."

Translation: He has a book.

[cadenciorum402]

So, is Italian like Spanish, where the h in ha is silent?

[Franco_Incitti]

You are correct. In both Spanish and in Italian the "h" isn't sounded. However, as you'll learn later; the "h" can change the sound of a group of consonants such as in "chocolate".

[Ivan184]

[BlancaCarr783103]

I know spanish and i am mastering italian so fast

[DoodGuy1]

I am Brazilian and I am mastering italian so fast as well. Maybe it's because Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, French and Romanian, all these languages came from Latin.

[sunset6771]

[HamStandingBy]

I also know Spanish and am learning Italian. A lot of the rules are very similar in conjugations, and many words are cognates, so I'm having a breeze

[Marceluiz]

And Portuguese :p

[Phillip858801]

Woah.

[LalaZgt]

why is it "ha" instead of "ho"

[NeonOwl5]

Oops! I meant to say book... my fingers slipped.

[BlancaCarr783103]

Italian is kind of lik spanish because libro means book in spanish and italian!!!

[ska55124]

Why would "he has the book" be wrong?

[laila216302]

Because of "un"

[Jimmmz]

"Lui" sounds crazy when it's played slowly

[Samira759974]

Lol

[Carson240888]

[Corien162]

Io ho, tu hai, lui/lei ha

[Werkak1]

What is the meaning of "al" and "nel"?

[shankarraman]

A + article (il) = al

In + article(il) = nel

[El3ctroGh0st]

Shouldn't "He owns a book" be correct?

[Erin.s.c503]

What is the verb 'to have' in Italian?

[King2E4]

The infinitive is "avere".

[Oliversutc1]

I say it correctly every time and it never registers correctly. Is this a common problem ?

[CodyDutche]

In the test the "ha" sounded like "ang" to me but in comment area when i press it now it sounds like "a" which makes sense. But in the actual question it didnt sound the same. Not that i knew it in the first place but still. It would be nice if you misspelled the italian word but you were close it would tell you you misspelled it but you were right then tell you the correct spelling. Seems to just say you got it right but im not sure if i spelled it right or not...

[Abebina1]
