Let's look at some more examples. |
Listen repeat or speak along with the native speakers. |

Avete il sale? |
Avete il latte? |
Avete il latte? |
Avete l'acqua? |
Avete l'acqua? |
Avete la frutta? |
Avete la frutta? |
Dov'è lo zucchero? |
Dov'è lo zucchero? |
Did you notice how I replaced Avete with Dov'è? |
Dov'è lo zucchero? |
"Where the sugar?" |
With this question, you are presuming that the shop has sugar. |
First is Dov'è, "where is." Dov'è. Dov'è. |
Dove, "where." Dove. |
È, "is." È. |
è is from the verb essere, meaning "to be." Essere. |
Dove is contracted with è to form dov'è. |
Altogether, Dov'è "where is." Dov'è |
After this is lo zucchero, "the sugar." lo zucchero. |
Zucchero, sugar. Zucchero. Zucchero. |
Zucchero is masculine singular. |
Before this is lo, "the." Lo (clearly enunciated). Lo. |
Lo is masculine singular to agree with zucchero. |
Note, because zucchero starts with the letter "z" lo used. |
All together, Dov'è lo zucchero? This literally means "Where is the sugar?" |
Dov'è lo zucchero? |
This pattern is: |
Dov'è {ITEM}? |
"Where is" {ITEM}? |
Dov'è {ITEM}? |
You should be aware of this, but for this lesson, we'll use the pattern: |
Avete {ITEM}? |
Do you have {ITEM}? |
Avete {ITEM}? |
