Why is the plural verb hanno used when the English translation says "Everyone has" (singular)?
Why is there no article before diritto? The English translation says "the right".
In Italian, the fixed phrase for "to have the right to" is avere diritto a. It is most commonly used without a definite article before the word diritto. You simply say someone "has right" rather than "has the right".
Is a always the preposition used after diritto?
Yes, when you are stating what someone has a right to, diritto is almost always followed by the preposition a. This connects neatly to the English concept of having a right "to" something.
