Common Mistakes

  • Hai qualche domande?

    'Domanda' is singular; with 'qualche' the noun stays singular.

  • Hai qualche dubbio o domanda?

    The natural order is 'domanda o dubbio' because 'domanda' is more common; swapping is acceptable but less idiomatic.

Cultural Tip

In Italian classrooms and business meetings, it is common to explicitly ask for questions at the end. Using 'qualche' softens the request, making it sound less confrontational than a direct 'Hai domande?'.
