 Rabbi Yochanan: An esrog is muktzeh all day on Hoshana Rabbah, but may be handled on Shemini Atzeres. The sukkah is forbidden even on Shemini Atzeres.

 Reish Lakish: The esrog is permissible even on Hoshana Rabbah. 

Reish Lakish holds the esrog is only set aside for the duration of the mitzvah, afterwards it is permissible. Rabbi Yochanan holds that muktzeh cannot apply to part of a day, and it is muktzeh all day. 

 Summary 

 Rabbi Zeira: One shouldn’t give his arba minim to a child on the first day of Yom Tov [before the father was yotzei]. The reason for this is since a child can acquire but cannot give away, the father will thus be taking arba minim that belong to the child.

 Rabbi Zeira: One should never tell a child that he will give him something and then fail to follow through because he is training him that it’s okay to lie, as the possuk states “They trained themselves to lie”.

 We Learned: If one set aside seven esrogim , one for each day of Yom Tov.

 Rav Asi [following the girsa of the Bach]: He can eat it immediately after doing the mitzvah each day (following the opinion of Reish Lakish). 

 Rav: Each esrog can be eaten on the day after it was used for the mitzvah (following the opinion of Rabbi Yochanan). 

 Rav Asi holds the esrog is only set aside for the duration of the mitzvah, afterwards it is permissible. Rav holds that muktzeh cannot apply to part of a day, and it is muktzeh all day. 

 In Chutz La’aretz: 

 Abayye: It is forbidden on Shemini Atzeres as well because it is a safek shevi’i. 

 Mereimar: It is permissible on Shemini Atzeres even for us in Chutz La’aretz.

In Sura they followed Mereimar. Rav Shisha brei d’Rav Idi followed Abayye. The halacha follows Abayye.
