Italian

Etymology

From Latin illōrum, genitive plural of ille, illud (“that”).

Pronunciation

• IPA^(key): /ˈlo.ro/, [ˈl̺oːr̺o]
• Hyphenation: ló‧ro

Pronoun

loro m pl, f pl

1. they
2. (dative, formal) them, to them

   Synonym: gli

   Parlerò loro. ― I'll talk to them.

Usage notes

loro (“to them”) is mostly restricted to formal communication. In regular usage gli is used instead, which avoids the following irregularities of loro:

• loro almost always follows the verb

  Parlerò loro. ― I'll talk to them.

• loro generally follows the past participle

  Ho detto loro. ― I told them.

• loro always follows other clitics
• loro is never attached to the verb or other clitics
