Hello there Matley I hope you won't mind me trying to translate this into English? Here I go: Gattaccia, have you ever been to Trieste? 8 years are a long time, what do you like the most about Italy?; and that's it cause I got no clue what that last sentence says =/

Each case is slightly different though.

Vanno a bere vino. - They go drink wine. lit.

Vanno a bere del vino. - They go drink some wine

Vanno a bere il vino. - They go drink "the" wine (this points that we know what wine they're going to drink, 4ex. the wine in the kitchen)

Vanno a bere un bicchiere di vino. - They go drink a glass of wine (which is almost never just one, but we use to say so)

Oh thank you!! It's pretty much the same way as in Spanish. If you mean one type of wine specifically then you must use the article, and if you use the first form (example #1) you can omit it since you mean wine, generally speaking ^.^ Got it!

Did I good?
"hacer" is "have",,, isnt it? How does it change form?
And I remember "hecho"!! it is past tence? or inperfect?

Haha you were close! The accurate translation would be: I have had a virus on my computer for 3 days but the anti-virus is still not detecting it

The verb "haber" has no real meaning, it's used as an auxiliary verb. Spanish has a lot of past tenses and 3 types of irregular verbs. It's not easy to learn the whole conjugation of a verb if you're not a native speaker, that's the basic conjugation (present perfect/past simple, that's when you use this conjugation below)

Infinitive: Haber.

[Yo] he + past. participle of another verb
[Tú] has + past. participle of another verb
[Él/Ella] ha + past. participle of another verb
[Nosotros] hemos + past. participle of another verb
[Vosotros] habéis + past. participle of another verb
[Ellos/as] han + past. participle of another verb

[yo] me he comido una manzana.

me= pronouns, it indicates that the subject both does and recives the action

he= 1st person singular, lets you know who the subject is. Has no further meaning.

comido= eaten, past participle of EAT.

(Yo he comido = I have eaten)

In English most verbs in past tenses (if not all?) finish with either -en or -ed; in Spanish it's -ado, -ido.

una manzana = an apple.

Hacer = make/do (here do is NOT used as an auxiliary verb).

Basic conjugation of HACER:

Infinitive: Hacer.
Gerund: Haciendo.
Participle: Hecho

Present Simple

[Yo] hago
[Tú] haces
[Él/Ella] hace
[Nosotros] hacemos
[Vosotros] hacéis
[Ellos/as] hacen

Estoy haciendo la cena --> I'm making dinner.

Estoy= am

Haciendo = Gerund of MAKE = making.

la cena = dinner.

(Ellos) hacen una buena pareja --> They make a nice couple.

Ellos = They

Hacen = make, 3rd person plural.

Una buena pareja = a nice couple.

Anata = you
no = of
hitomi= eye but more romantic word than usual "eye"
ni= objective .... grrrrr I dont remember which is which, anyway one of the objective staff.

oboreru= drown

Thank you!! Hahaha I am so gonna try this on someone tonight

*memorizes* Anata no hitomi ni oboreruwa, anata no hitomi ni oboreruwa, anata no hitomi ni oboreruwa *writes down*
