- We've learned a little bit about pronouns in Italian, but now it's time to learn about some special ones called relative pronouns. These replace a noun in a sentence. There are several, so let's start with che and cui.
Script by Patrizia Farina, Professor of Italian at Western Connecticut State University and Purchase College.

I'm learning 3rd Year Italian at university and sometimes my teacher makes it really hard for us to understand exactly how grammatical structures are made and why they happen - not to mention we only go over each thing once and then move onto something else the following week! Your videos are perfect if I need to do revision or to fully conceptualise grammatical ideas! Thank you Prof!!
lo stesso
you probably dont give a shit but if you guys are bored like me atm then you can stream pretty much all of the new movies and series on InstaFlixxer. Been watching with my brother these days =)
@Mathias Travis yup, I've been watching on InstaFlixxer for years myself =)
This was a great explanation for a subject that has been difficult for me. I especially liked the comprehension check. Thanks!
My professor is really monotone and awful at teaching Italian. She corrects us but never gives an example of how to do it correctly. Thank you for saving my Italian grade
Thanks for the video sir 👍🏻😀
Thanks a lot for the video!
But a little misinformation: It is true that the word relative comes from Latin "re" and "latus", but "relatus" means "that was brought back", and "relativus" means "that brings back" :)
thanks dave ! you made it easier than my grammar Book of italian.
Nice
Excellent explanation, but you need to tone your accent down slightly by relaxing and not adding too much emphasis! Perfetto
don't we also use cui if it comes in the beginning of the sentence asking about people ?? in the meaning of "who".. and che in the meaning of "what"..
Great video.
I'd just add that when the preposition is "a", it can also be omitted as the indirect form CUI alone can perfectly render the "dative" meaning on its own (just as in Latin...):
--> La ragazza (A) CUI hai telefonato è mia sorella
This is more typical of written Italian though.
Sorry but it absolutely cannot be omitted. ;)
grazie mille
Grazie mille pro.
P. Dave, I appreciate your very clear explainations. This may be a little late, but at 0:39 seconds the “...related to the word that it precedes” should be “...related to the word that precedes it” i.e. the “it precedes” should be “precedes it”
"Di cui" is the Italian equivalent of "de quien" in Spanish. I find it easier to make that comparison since not many people use "whom" in English.
We can say "who are you talking to?" in English but you MUST say "to whom are you talking?" in Italian.
It would sound silly to say "cui parlai con?" when it should be "con cui parlai?"

This so helpful ..thank you so much 🙏
Bravo, cercavo un video per spiegare meglio alla mia compagna turca la funzione di cui, ed effettivamente il legame con la preposizione è molto esplicativo. Strano il tuo accento comunque, di dove sei?
