With breeding, can the male pass on it's hidden ability?

Question

Just want to know because i'm trying to breed for a certain hidden ability Pokemon.

Answer 1

The caveat to males passing on Hidden Ability is that they must be breeding with a Ditto. So if you're starting off then breed with ditto to get a female with HA.

Answer 2

No. The female must have the hidden ability for it to pass to the kid. Still, it is a 60% chance.
