Usage notes

The definite article o (in all its forms) regularly forms contractions when it follows the prepositions (deprecated template usage) a, (deprecated template usage) con, (deprecated template usage) de, and (deprecated template usage) en.

Pronoun

1. them (masculine plural third-person personal pronoun)

Usage notes

The third-person direct object pronouns (deprecated template usage) o, (deprecated template usage) os, (deprecated template usage) a, and (deprecated template usage) 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. (deprecated template usage) los) are used when the preceding word ends in -r or -s. The n- forms (e.g. (deprecated template usage) nos) 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 ((deprecated template usage) o, (deprecated template usage) os, (deprecated template usage) a, (deprecated template usage) 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 os ("I gave you them.") contracts to Dou chos.

Derived terms

• chos
• llelos
• llos

• mos
• nolos
• volos
