Is there any difference in pronunciation between "ai" and "ha i"? Certainly, there is no confusion but it would help if it was possible to distinguish them by sound, not only by context.

In italian we call "her" (lettera is feminine singular) "la muta" (the mute one). H don't have a sound. We use to distingue article (ai) from verb (hai). Change the sound in "ce" to "che or ge to ghe The meanings depend from the contest

For what it's worth, I can't discern the difference. Unless I use the "turtle" audio, I'm missing whole words and syllables. I can't imagine why someone downvoted you.

No. The object piatti always need the article.
I piatti Il piatto Lei ha un piatto (due piatti) Lei ha il piatto (i piatti)
But you can say: Ha il piatto (without lei)

Use gli for masculine plurals in which you would use l' or lo in the singular.
If they start with a vowel, or s+ a conssonant, or z, there may be a couple others but those are the ones I'm sure about.
