Introduction to Relative Pronouns: I pronomi relativi

Relative pronouns in both Italian and English introduce relative clauses, which are a type of dependent clause. Relative pronouns modify a word, idea, or phrase in the main clause. An example of a relative pronoun in English would be the word that: The book that I have written is available now. In the example sentence, that introduces a clause that is subordinate (…I have written) and which is dependent on the main clause (The book … is available now) .

Below is a table detailing the Italian relative pronouns:

Singular		Plural
Masculine	Feminine	Masculine	Feminine
che	che	che	che
cui	cui	cui	cui
