"He is our cook."

Translation: Lui è il nostro cuoco.

[WayneHoobler]

Agreed, not sure why we need the article "il" before the possessive word

[violynnie]

can someone please explain the use of the article "il" before the possessive word

[belo99]

Why is it "nostro" and not "nostri"

[hobbyfarmer178]

I believe that "nostri" is the plural where in this case it is singular therefore "nostro" applies here .

[LizBrown13]

why is it necessary to use 'il'

[Akade88]

I wrote "è il cuoco nostro" and it was wrong. But "è il nostro cuoco" is right. Why?

[myShadowhe]

How??? What is the difference between these 4 n words

[mitizd]

Why is ( il nostro ) correct?

[Shirin-Rose]

What exactly does egli mean and when is it used?

[marziotta]

"Egli" = "lui"

"Egli" can be used only as subject, and not as object. (You can say "Egli cucina" but not "Io amo egli" or "Ho scritto una lettera a egli")

"Egli" is seldom used, you can find it in old books, but nowadays... nobody says "Egli" to be honest, it is only said when you repeat verbs... io sono, tu sei, egli è, noi siamo, voi siete, essi sono...

[Shirin-Rose]

ok cool, thank you! :)

[phanishekhar]

Some times il is used after è, sometimes its not used, y?

[JordanBurg10]

Would the noun that the possessive pronoun is agreeing with be 'Lui' or 'cuoco' in this sentence?
