  • 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
