Usage notesEdit

The definite article o (in all its forms) regularly forms contractions when it follows the prepositions a ‎(“to”), con ‎(“with”), de ‎(“of, from”), and en ‎(“in”). For example, con o ("with the") contracts to co, and en o ("in the") contracts to no.

Derived termsEdit

PronounEdit

o m accusative (nominative el, oblique el, dative lle)

  1. him (masculine singular third-person personal pronoun)

Usage notesEdit

The third-person direct object pronouns o, os, a, and as, have variant forms prefixed with l- or n-. These alternative forms appear depending on the ending of the preceding word. The l- forms (e.g. lo) are used when the preceding word ends in -r or -s. The n- forms (e.g. no) are used when the preceding word ends in a -u or a diphthong. These alternative forms are then suffixed to the preceding word.

In all other situations, the standard forms of the pronouns are used (o, os, a, as) and are not suffixed to the preceding word.

These direct object pronouns also form contractions when they immediately follow an indirect object pronoun. For example, Dou che o ("I gave you it.") contracts to Dou cho.
