Italian Direct Pronouns

But first... What's a pronoun? 

A PRONOUN is something that is used to replace and not repeat the name of a person a thing or an animal.

For example:

  • Maria mangi la mela?
  • No, non la mangio 
  • Luigi hai le chiavi di casa? 
  • No non le ho.

These pronouns substitute the direct object. They are used as a direct object when the verb is not followed by a preposition. They answer the question “CHI” (who) or “COSA” (what?)
