Concise Oxford Paravia Italian Dictionary © 2009 Pearson Paravia Bruno Mondadori spa e Oxford University Press:
they /ðeɪ/ They is usually translated by loro (which is in itself the object, not the subject pronoun);
the subject pronouns
essi (masculine) and esse (feminine) are rarely used in colloquial language: they can certainly do it = loro sanno farlo di sicuro. - Remember that in Italian the subject pronoun is very often understood: they came by train = sono venuti in treno. When used in emphasis, however, the pronoun is stressed, and is placed either at the beginning or at the end of the sentence: they killed her! = loro l’hanno uccisa! l’hanno uccisa loro! - When they is used impersonally, it is translated by si (+ verb in the third person singular): they drink a lot of beer in Britain, don’t they? = si beve molta birra in Gran Bretagna, vero? they say he has left = si dice che sia partito. - When they is used to avoid saying he or she after words like everyone, no-one, anyone etc., it is usually understood in Italian: everyone should do what they like = ognuno dovrebbe fare quello che vuole / tutti dovrebbero fare quello che vogliono. - For more examples and exceptions, see below.
pron. ~ have already gone (masculine or mixed) sono già partiti;
(feminine) sono già partite;
here ~ are! (masculine or mixed) eccoli! (feminine) eccole!
there ~ are! (masculine or mixed) eccoli là! (feminine) eccole là!
~ won’t be there loro non ci saranno;
she bought one but ~ didn’t lei ne comprò uno ma loro no.
