✕Common Mistakes

  • Questo prodotto è coperto da la garanzia?

    In Italian the preposition "da" contracts with the article "la" to form "dalla"; writing them separately is incorrect.

  • Questo prodotto ha garanzia?

    While understandable, the more natural phrasing is "ha la garanzia" or "è coperto dalla garanzia".

  • Questo prodotto è coperto da la garanzia?

    The article must be attached to the preposition; also avoid double spaces.

Cultural Tip

In Italy, consumer law guarantees a mandatory two‑year warranty ("garanzia legale") for all new goods bought from a retailer. The seller must honor repairs, replacements, or refunds if the product is defective. When you ask "Questo prodotto è coperto dalla garanzia?" you are also implicitly checking whether the seller respects this legal right, so it’s perfectly normal to ask it in any shop, online chat, or phone call.
