"Lui ha l'acqua."

Translation: He has water.

[MrSandreschi]

Why would it be wrong to say "Lui ha acqua"?

[Nicla24]

Because in italian the article is necessary

[adrianitens]

"He has THE water" would also be a correct translation... I'm not sure which of the two translations represents better the true meaning of the frase.

[temetimo]

whats the point of putting the "l'" there anyways if theres no "the"?

[AnnaRoark]

Because articles are required in italian

[MaxWindsperger]

Yeah this one was the pick the words from the ones listed and "THE" wasn't available.

[leowtyx]

Actually it's not that hard to understand: putting l' in front of aqua makes pronunciation easier. "Ha aqua" vs "Ha l'aqua".

[deactivated user]

Is that seriously the only purpose of l' here? Nothing else?

[Jerollag]

Whats the difference between "ha and ho"?

[Heather546378]

I have a hearing problem which makes some of the exercises rather challenging. Any suggestions?

[mdantonio]

Ha or A..... Hard to tell difference, but I guess the grammar would be wrong...

[katja4592]

italians dont pronunce h so you only hear A.it is the same way with hanno (meaning they have) when you will only hear ANNO

[Caioco]

Thanks! You also helped me.

[MARLENA570892]

Ciao sono italiana, HA è un verbo, verbo avere, mentre A è una preposizione semplice.

[Taxodragon]

I could only understand half of whatt you said

[AnnaRoark]

Basically "ha" is a verb and "a" is a preposition, so they will be used differently and you can only tell the difference based on how they're used

[Nicla24]

Ha is possession

[YoBoyChris79520]

soo i thought if you put l in front of something it would make it the there fore it would say he has the water

[Gatu77]

When she says "ha l'acqua", it sounds like something Arabic. Imho, of course.

[Sina608248]

The whole putting il and l in front of words thing is a lot like Al for Arabic words, e.g. Alchohol, Alchemy

[9h8Y1]

Lui ha dell'acqua

[Zita137221]

Would the question be "Ha lui l'acqua?"?

[Asma246541]

Mi piace davvero tanto

[CJP22]

The Italian says "l'acqua" so surely the English is "the water". I'm certain the app would mark me wrong if I translated that Italian & omitted the definite article!

[Amy225254]

I dont get this sentence

[NavoneelSe]

I can't pronounce it

[NavoneelSe]

Hello

[Anastazija706471]

If I say - Lo ho and lui ha means that i/he had something (in the past)?

[superkirtap19]

Haha
