Hai pulito la tua stanza?
Meaning
A direct question asking whether the listener has cleaned their room. It can convey curiosity, a reminder, or a gentle check‑in, depending on tone.

✦Grammar Breakdown
Haipulitolatuastanza?
Present Perfect (Passato Prossimo)
Formed with the present tense of the auxiliary verb 'avere' (hai) + past participle (pulito). It expresses a completed action with relevance to the present.
Past Participle Agreement
With 'avere' the past participle normally does not agree with the subject; agreement only occurs when a direct object precedes the verb, which is not the case here.
Possessive Adjective
The possessive adjective (tua) agrees in gender and number with the noun it modifies (stanza, feminine singular).
Question Word Order
In Italian, yes‑no questions are formed by inverting the subject and auxiliary or simply raising intonation; here the auxiliary 'hai' starts the sentence.

✕Common Mistakes
Hai pulita la tua stanza?
With the auxiliary 'avere' the past participle does not change to match the feminine noun; 'pulita' would be correct only with 'essere'.
Hai pulito la tuo stanza?
Stanza is feminine, so the possessive must be 'tua', not the masculine 'tuo'.
Sei pulito la tua stanza?
Using 'sei' (the verb 'essere') would turn the phrase into a description ('You are clean'), not an action.

Cultural Tip
In most Italian families, cleaning is a shared duty and parents often ask 'Hai pulito la tua stanza?' as a routine check. Note that 'stanza' is the neutral term for any room, while 'camera' specifically means bedroom and sounds a bit more informal. Also, avoid using 'sei pulito' (which would mean 'you are clean' as an adjective) when you intend the verb meaning.
