Pronunciation "h"

In Italian the "h" (e.g. "house") is not pronounced.
So mind the pronunciation when conjugating the Italian verb avere ("to have"):

ho (io)!
hai (tu)!
ha (lui/lei)!

(abbiamo) (noi)
(avete) (voi)
hanno (loro)!


The letter "h" in Italian also has a pronunciation-altering function:
If the "h" is added to "ci" or "ce" in Italian, e.g. amiche, the pronunciation changes into "k".

Other examples:
chimico = "kimiko" (pronunciation)
turistiche = "touristike" (pronunciation)

So mind the tricky Italian "h"!
