Is the only difference between "ho" and "ha" the gender you're addressing?

Hi! The difference between "Ho" and "Ha" is that you must use "HO" ( as "I HAVE") when YOU are speaking.
Example. "I have a bad day" is "Io HO una brutta giornata".
We use "HA" (as "He/she/it HAS") when someone else (HE/SHE/IT) is speaking.
Example. Lucy has a bad day" is "Lucy HA una brutta giornata".
I hope you've understood! ;)

Ho is for Io, Ha is for egli/ella/esso/essa
It isn't about the gender but a person (first or third)
(ssorry about my English)

Cosa? :/
"ho" = I have
"ha" = he/she/it has
Direct address is "(tu) hai" for informal, and "(Lei) ha" for formal.

verbo avere, tempo presente, modo indicativo:
io ho
tu hai
lui ha, lei ha, esso ha
noi abbiamo
voi avete
essi hanno
Remember: inital 'h' is ALWAYS COMPLETELY SILENT when you speak, it is written just to separate meanings, but not sounds!
