Italian Course Beginner Series 29: TO HAVE Video Lecture | Learn Italian Language: For Beginners and Travellers

hello everyone and welcome to another
Italian tutorial today we do the verb to
have and together with the verb to be
this is one of the most important verbs
in the whole entire language we have the
translation in English here
or what's on the opposite side this is
everything you have to take away from
the video I'm just gonna read all the
conjugations of the present tense from
the first one to the last one for you to
practice the pronunciation yo2
I Louis ah like ah knowing appium oh boy
have it
Laura and now as you can see there's
something very strange these words while
some of these conjugations begin with H
why do they begin with H I told you in
the sounds video that there's no word in
Italian that begins with the sound H
well the thing is the H is the only
letter that isn't pronounced so when I
told you in Italian you pronounce
everything you read
I lied you don't pronounce the H the H
is always silent always silent it's a
bit like in English when you have words
like honest okay
the H is completely silent and you do
not pronounce it so the word R is
pronounced like the letter O there's
absolutely nothing else you have to know
in order for you to pronounce you well
same for this I you pronounce it like I
remember that this is not like the word
I in English in English you say I and
the transition between a and E is mouth
is very smooth and that's why it's
called the diphthong in Italian you
don't have diphthongs you just have
sudden changes and you pronounce
everything so the word I is like too
II I it's not I it's I so practice the
pronunciation of these words and you
will master the Italian language this
verb is basically one of the most common
verbs in the whole entire language and
that's because you also use it for the
present perfect but we will see that
later on ok let's have an example how to
say car in Italian machina machina so
this is how you say car in Italian you
should be making your own dictionary and
your dictionary should start being quite
long we've seen a lot of words anyway
machina is the word for car in Italian
and you tell me if it's masculine or
feminine
it's clearly feminine because it ends in
a so how would you say do you have a car
in Italian we should know this okay
let's start from the positive sentence
statement without any question you have
a car okay you have we read here - I - I
we've also seen in Italian we've said it
plenty of times that we also always omit
this subject we omit the personal
pronouns normally you just don't say the
pronoun you omit it
so I means you have I so do you have a
car so you have a car so we need an
indefinite article in the feminine case
singular okay so that would be ona ona
is the article we need if you don't know
why we need this go and watch the video
on indefinite articles owner and then we
have machina
this means you have one car you have a
car this will this is what it means okay
now how do you make it a question simple
enough you just change the intonation
because that's how you make questions in
Italian it's a lot easier than in
English so I Yoona machina means you
have a car
I own a machina this means do you have a
car okay guys so we've looked at one
example and everything is good okay I
hope you've enjoyed this video if you
have please don't forget to like I will
see you in the next video
practice it you really have to practice
the verb to have and the verb to be if
you want to learn Italian and be fluent
also keep in mind that in a few videos
we will have our first dialogue so I
really really really recommend you go
back and watch the videos on articles
grammar and gender and of course the
verb to have and to be so that you're
gonna make the most out of the dialogue
when it comes I will see you guys in the
next video take care and see
