  1. they
  2. (dative, formal) them, to them
    Synonym: gli
    Parlerò loro. ― I'll talk to them.

Usage notesEdit

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

1 Third person pronominal forms used as formal terms of address to refer to second person subjects (with the first letter frequently capitalised as a sign of respect, and to distinguish them from third person subjects). Unlike the singular forms, the plural forms are mostly antiquated terms of formal address in the modern language, and second person plural pronouns are almost always used instead.
2 Also used as indefinite pronoun meaning “one”, and to form the passive.
3 Often replaced by gli, -gli in informal language.
4 Formal (capitalisation optional); in many regions, can refer to just one person (compare with French vous).
