La sequenza dà la combinazione.

Because dà is the verb form of dare in the third-person singular present: he/she/it gives.

The accent helps distinguish it from da, which is a very common preposition meaning from, by, or at/to someone’s place, depending on context.

So:

• dà = gives
• da = from / by / at

The accent is mainly for spelling distinction, not because it is pronounced very differently.

Here is the breakdown:

• La = definite article, the
• sequenza = noun, feminine singular, sequence
• dà = verb, gives
• la = definite article, the
• combinazione = noun, feminine singular, combination

So the structure is:

article + subject noun + verb + article + object noun

That is a very normal Italian sentence pattern.

Because both sequenza and combinazione are feminine singular nouns, and each one has its own definite article:

• la sequenza = the sequence
• la combinazione = the combination

The first la belongs to the subject noun, and the second la belongs to the object noun.

A learner may wonder whether the second la is a pronoun, but here it is not a pronoun, because it is directly followed by the noun combinazione. It is simply the article.

In Italian, every noun has a grammatical gender, usually masculine or feminine. Sequenza is a feminine noun, so it takes feminine forms like:

• la sequenza
• una sequenza

Its gender is a property of the word itself, not something chosen based on meaning. Many nouns ending in -a are feminine, and sequenza follows that common pattern.

Yes. Combinazione is also a feminine singular noun, so it takes la in the singular:

• la combinazione

Many Italian nouns ending in -zione are feminine, for example:

• la stazione
• la lezione
• la situazione

So combinazione fits a very common noun pattern.

Dà is the present indicative of dare.

In Italian, the present tense can often cover several ideas that English separates:

• gives
• does give
• sometimes even is giving, depending on context

In a sentence like this, it most naturally sounds like a general statement or a present fact.

A helpful approximate pronunciation for an English speaker is:

• sequenza ≈ seh-KWEN-tsa
• combinazione ≈ kom-bee-na-TSYO-neh

A few useful details:

• In sequenza, qu sounds like kw
• z in sequenza is pronounced like ts
• In combinazione, the zi part sounds like tsy or tsyoh in this word
• The stress is:
  • seQUENza
  • combinaziOne

In standard Italian, that would sound unnatural or ungrammatical in an ordinary sentence.

Italian uses articles much more regularly than English. So with nouns like these, you usually need them:

• La sequenza dà la combinazione

Leaving them out would generally not work unless you were dealing with a very special style, a heading, a note, or some highly technical shorthand.

The normal, neutral order is:

La sequenza dà la combinazione.

That is the most natural way to say it in ordinary Italian.

Italian word order can change, but changes usually add emphasis, contrast, or a special stylistic effect. For example, moving parts of the sentence around might sound marked or unnatural unless there is a clear reason.

So for a learner, the safest choice is to keep the standard order: subject + verb + object.

Grammatically, yes: dà is from dare, which literally means to give.

But in actual use, dare can also mean things like:

• provide
• yield
• produce
• give as a result

So in a sentence like this, it may sound more natural in English to understand it as provides or yields, depending on context, even though the Italian verb is still dare.

You would change both nouns, the articles, and the verb:

• La sequenza dà la combinazione.
• Le sequenze danno le combinazioni.

Changes:

• la → le
• sequenza → sequenze
• dà → danno
• la combinazione → le combinazioni

So this is a good example of how agreement works across the sentence in Italian.
