Havdala is made on the following occasions:
- At the end of a sabbath. Havdala includes a beverage (ideally wine), a flame, and a spice.
- If the end of the sabbath coincides with a yom tov (e.g., the first two days of Sukos in the diaspora), then havdala with wine and a flame is incorporated into kidush, and spices are omitted.
- If the end of the sabbath coincides with the fast of the ninth of Av, then havdala with a beverage is postponed until the end of the fast, and spices are omitted, but the flame is used Saturday night.
- At the end of a yom tov (e.g., the first two days of Sukos in the diaspora. But not after the first day of a two-day yom tov). Havdala includes a beverage (ideally wine), but excludes a flame (except at the end of Yom Kipur) and a spice unless it's also the end of a sabbath.
- If the end of the yom tov coincides with a sabbath, then havdala is not said.

Ah sorry I see it now. Have you an idea if the question is for Israeli or chusnick person? – kouty Oct 25 '16 at 00:42

@kouty, I understand that. I don't understand why you think the question may be that ukimta rather than a simple question about when diaspora people say havdala in the diaspora. – msh210 Oct 25 '16 at 00:45

OK, the style of the question was perhaps misleading me. Sorry for an additional remark, I'm not sure if YK must be called YT – kouty Oct 25 '16 at 00:49
